FNwF

I was on a mission.  During the week I was contacted by someone who bought a bowl cosy last week at my stall asking if I could make her another 4 for Easter gifts.   No problem I said they will be ready by the end of the week.  Thursday was cutting out day and seeing that it was such a dismal grey, cold and wet day an early start was made in the sewing room yesterday.    Here are the 4 bowl cosies waiting to be delivered.  


I was also commissioned by a neighbour to make 2 plastic bag holders for her church.     Every Tuesday night they have a  "take away soup kitchen"  and they use plastic bags to hand out the take away containers in hence the need to store the bags with easy access.


Thank you Cheryll for organising another fun FNwF.

P.S.     Just as I was finishing up the cosies my phone rang and I have an order for another two from someone who also bought one last week saying that her daughter saw the cosy and "just had to have it" so she has ordered another two.     

Back soon and in the meantime

Happy sewing all

When it rains, it pours, right? So nice to have folks appreciating your craft. Ordering during dismal weather is a plus.
