Aprons!

 Three aprons I have made using tea towels. 
The parts I cut from the arm areas were joined together to make pockets. 
Two will be gifted and a new apron for me!
The last finishes for 2019 for me.
Thought I would share the lovely decoration that Maria made for me.
It is now hanging on my Blogging Friends Christmas Tree.
Thank you Maria. In the background you can see part
of my elves hanging that Maria made for me a few years ago.
It has 3 elves with the initials of "M', "A" and "N"
for Mitchell, Austin and Nelson!

A Forgotten Project

I went into my sewing room to look for something and found this stitchery. 
I'd forgotten I even stitched it. I didn't quite get it finished for last Christmas.
The stitching was finished on 5th January and put  away ready for framing. 
Luckily I had this frame so I got to work. I'm sure I had the frame in January 
so there really was no excuse for not finishing it off!

Shopping Bags!

Here are five shopping bags I have made for gifts. 
It took me over 2 hours going through my stash deciding 
which fabrics to use. I kept changing my mind!
Does anyone else have this problem?
 
 
 
 
 
 All rolled up ready to pop into your handbag.

Friday Night With Friends

 
It was the last Friday Night With Friends for 2019. 
As we went out for dinner last night, I joined the ladies in the 
Northern Hemisphere today. I managed to put together a shopping bag that 
folds up to go in your handbag. I have five to make but things got in the 
way today and only one was made. The others are all cut out ready to go.
Thank you to Chez for hosting us this year. 
You can see what others got up to here.
