Phew!!!

Organisation done!


Had a really good sort out in my sewing room this weekend as it was in such a dreadful state! I decided that this was due to a lack of storage and because this was my study previously there were stationary that could be removed.  I now have another shelving unit in an attempt to make placing things away easier, additional jars, fabric boxes and I have added fairy lights around the room to make it look more magical and enticing.  I love anything christmassy but think that the lights will become a permanent feature as they are begging me to come in and get on.  Luckily this is my room and therefore Rich has resigned that it will be girly even though I am most definately not.  How come I detest clutter and opt for a modern and minimalist house and yet in this room I go out of my way to collect and buy it albeit sewing related????

Production line

Once the room was all completed I sat and cut out 7 pillowcase dresses, binding and elastics so that they are all ready to be sewn.  I find that doing it in this production line manner works so much quicker, as I do not dally about deciding on colours, or getting fed up with the stop-start sewing. 

There will be a revealing session soon.

Sew-In cafe tonight

First promotion stint!

I took along the magazine article promoting this fabulous cause along with the instructions and two dresses that I have made with me to a sew-in cafe.

The owner suggested it to inspire others to become involved if they wanted to become involved.  So off I trotted with my bag of tonights projects.

It was decided that everyone did in deed want to become involved and so it is planned that January will be the month that the group will make lots more dresses.

This is fantastic news, and i am very pleased that I have helped to inspire more people to become involved.  So watch this space!!! ...
