Reply With QuoteYes, my house throws up frequently!! I'd love to come do them for you Tan! If only you were a smidge closer!
Oh no Trill! I hate it when things don't work out the way you want. Can you pick it apart and try again?

Fingers crossed you get them sewn on with no dramas Tan.
I got the pinny made, but I'm a bit *meh* about it and I don't think I will give it to her now.

I have decided to do a red and white Christmas tree theme this year (bought some lovely red and white wrapping papers) and I bought a large red and white check fabric on the weekend that I plan to make some decorations with it.

Finally started Christmas sewing and got my first Santa sack done. Photo here if anyone is interested! I'm pretty pleased with the result

I really like the way you've done that Eluned. We're you going to put names on them too?
Registered User
Yep Trillian, I wanted to put the name either in the long red block or initial in the small centre red square but I couldn't find anything at Spotlight to use. I'm going to make another sack and reverse the colours.

Looks great Eluned!!

Gorgeous Eluned! I was going to alternate the fabric like that too but got all excited and forgot! Are you going to applique the letters on?? Im thinking felt and hand stitching now, will see how I go!
HERE is a link to my next project - going to make one each for the kids!!(Thanks again Enchanted for all the gorgeous links)
I've also cut out all of my triangles for my bunting with my pinking shears - just need to sew it on ribbon and string it up in our pergola outside!

do you think white and green is christmassy enough? I can't spend anymore $$ on fabric (DH would drop dead if I did) and I have some lovely whites and greens. What do you think?
Registered User
I think whites and greens would be lovely. If you have several different fabrics you could do all sorts of combinations.
Registered User
You can definitely use green and white. You can cut out christmas shapes to make it feel a little chrissy if you like.
Registered User
Tan, yup if I can find some appliqué letters otherwise might go the felt. Those dolls arevso cute. I'm bookmarking that one!
Cat, whites and greens can still be christmassy for sure. You could cut out Christmas shapes (star, tree, bell) on one and sew them on the other. If you have some gold or red ribbon you could integrate that too.

Green and white will be gorgeous and fresh looking!! Sounds lovely!
My bunting is UP Here and Here! !!! I love it - whenever I look outside which is alot because of our 3 mt wide door/window I see them blowing away in the breeze! SUPER easy to make too! Definitely going to make some for DD's and DS's rooms!
Registered User
Tan, that's gorgeous! How long is it all? How much fabric did you use?
They rock Tan!! Thinking of maybe doing some too, I have too many things on the go at the minute though! Maybe I should get them done first
Has anyone else been busy sewing away? Would LOVE to see more

Ribbon is 10 mts long with around 3cms between each triangle. Each triangle is around 19cm across the top and I used scraps I had left from my calendar so I'm not sure how much exactly!!! Pinking shears and thick ribbon with a zig zag stitch! So easy!

I've abandoned the Advent Calendar - with only a couple of days to have it redy, I will put it on next year's list.
But I managed to sit down and cut out the pattern for DD's dress last night. It was all I could manage though - I had hoped to cut the material as well. Too uncomfortable to sit at the desk today and need to finish my job application so hopefully I can do it later in the week.
