Sewing The Bulgarian Way

Take one Old Sewing Machine

A trip to Bulgaria

4 Days to make loose covers

One Sofa

Armchair One

And Armchair Two

Local Life - The Neighbours

The local villagers do not know what washing machines are,

they wash clothes outside in cold water

Village Rooftops

Mum-in-laws Grape Vines

Everybody makes their own wine here.

Add a 'bit' of snow over night.

And grape vines look pretty

Still snowing now (over 12 hours)

One of the local village boys taking the cattle out

no saddle and a piece of rope for the harness..

Moo

Mum-in-law's House

One sofa finished, OK the fabric very shiny so photos look bad.

One blurred armchair

Armchair two finished.

What I missed about sewing away from home.

My Sewing machine

My over locker

My Left handed scissors

My tiny snip scissors

My huge quilting ruler (would have come in very handy)

Sewing thread that doesn't break every 5 Min's

Perfect sewing tension

A foot peddle lead that I had to wiggle as I sewed to get a connection

Fabric with NO give in any direction

and something other than a biro pen to draw a pattern with!

What I loved

A challenge - my brain hurt every evening

A horse ride in the mountains - western style

A walk in deep 8" snow

Homemade red wine - every night!

A week off work

Being Cooked for (thanks S & K)

Catching a flight tomorrow morning home

fights maybe a little delayed, but all cars have winter tyres

and chains if needed.

PS do not forget as my previous post bias binding giveaway.

I will do the draw late Friday / Saturday.
