Time for Tea!

The Quilted Teapot

I've been playing with scraps!

And different shapes for mug rugs and pan or pot mats.

Thing the handle could be a little smaller and the body a little larger

The body is approx 7" wide 8" tall and width in total about 11"

I sketched it out and cut out the body and spout.

The handle is bias binding sewn longways and stuffed,

the best way to use fabric on the curve is on the bias

And finished with gingham ribbon and a fabric covered button.

And so time for tea, before bed. Kxx

Polka Dots & Posies

Spotty Full Aprons

Finally got around to finishing some of the aprons I had cut out, that needed the bias binding, ribbon, ties and pockets adding.

I forgot to iron them, but these are the first batch, the others to follow are the floral with spotty pockets in reverse. Then to finish the half hostess aprons!

There are for sale in my blondedesigns shops on etsy and folksy.

And tomorrow I will upload the tutorial on the hot pot mats, as I didn't manage to get a finished photo in daylight.

My sewing room is fast becoming a sewing notions super store, problem is I sit and stare and think of what shall I make first with them (never mind finishing the 2 quilts, 10 aprons, stack of driftwood hearts, and the pile of pincushions...), just maybe i'll make a few hot pot mats with bias bound edges, or i'll just drool over filling up the candy store with jumbo pompom trim I have found in 12 fab colours, coming soon.
