Day off

I took today off to do some spring cleaning and other not-so-fun chores around the house, but of course I made time for cycling and sewing too. First up was finishing my pincushion with these teeny flying geese I quilted the s#*t out of. I rounded the corners and put the geese fabric on the back. So cute!


Next up was this fabulous C+S octopus print for a scarf. I must admit I get a bit twitchy around lawn and scoffed a bit at the package sticker that said "Just hem and go!" Right. Just. But actually this went pretty smoothly. I even used an orangey pink thread.


I can't wait to wear this. It goes perfectly with my navy jacket. Now what sewing shall I do with my free evening? I love that dilemma.

    The pincushion is very cute indeed. I think it looks quite sophisticated. :-)
    The scarf is quite pretty. I can see just how beautiful it must look with navy.

      I liked making the pincushion so much that I started another!

      I can't seem to stop making the pincushions Serena! You should definitely snag some of that awesome octopus fabric. I've received numerous compliments on it!
