November Furtle

Image
  I thought I had started quite well, finally finding some little pockets of time to sew after a very unproductive month and then this happened.. . on 20th, which stopped me in my tracks in some ways.... At the beginning of the month I had managed to finally finish my Modern City Scape top. And I have even taken all the papers out now! I also made 3 more thimble blocks so I now have 5 one mini alphabet letter and a little tea cup that I am hoping to turn into a pouch And nothing more really. Everything is quite challenging at the moment with this metal frame around my little finger. Hoping this comes off soon-ish but it is already 10 days... Linking to  November Furtle Céline

One more thimble One Mini Alphabet block, the only one so far... and a mini tea cup block Can you believe that there are 13 pieces of fabric in this piece?

To Do Tuesday

 Well this last week has certainly not gone according to plan... there has been no sewing at all. Reason for it One fall past Wednesday morning while walking the 🐕 = one morning in A&E for a broken finger and a torn nail... I haven't even attempted to do anything creative since... not sure if I'll manage to do anything next week but my list for next week is still exactly the same as last week as I haven't progressed on anything...  1. Cut one or two PJs for the girls  2. Finish my alphabet block (C)  3. Make more thimble blocks  4. Make the hood of my Silvia coatigan, unpick the hem and sew it back 5. Make a tea cup block 6. Make a tea or coffee sleve Linking to  Carol's To Do Tuesday Linky party Céline

Mini thimbles

  A few weeks back, a new sew along started to sew fussy cut mini thimbles with Happy Sew Lucky. I was hoping to keep the pace but failed miserably. I nearly made the first 2 blocks on time and then completely got lost... Finally this week I've finished 4 little thimbles I'm hoping I can make a few more here and there...
