    Maz that is just gorgeous!!! I really love it.

    I really like yours too Squid, well done! I would like to get into quilting but I don't think me sewing would be up to scratch.
    haha i did it with the machine all straight stitch.... ill take a pic of a project i am working on but its still a bit plain , the lace was an old antique table cloth that had been ripped that i had been holding onto for about 5 years lol

    UPDATE:

    these colors are actually a top that was brand new (second hand bought in a lot in ebay) that so was not me but the colors were nice, a satin size 22 (second hand bought in a lot in ebay or size 16-18 clothes to get me through the pregnancy) top thats NEVER EVER gonna fit no matter how preggers i am but lovely, A pair of pants i was donating as they showed off the extra chub near my woohoo but very nice pants all the same. Plus a purple jacket and pants that i got on eBay (same ebay lot) that so was not my style that i have embroidered pink pictures on.

    So basically its all scraps of old clothing, I ran out of more fabric like i need more purple might look in a op shop or hunt through my draws or the kids lol. Recycling stuff as i dont have cash for material so we recycle what we can. and im happy with the color theme thought it may look a bit odd but its starting to come together really niceley im impressed its my first crazy patchwork and i gotta tell ya i made the antique lace one in the time i made the purple one so far lol and the purple on is NOT at all finished.

    Edit i forgot to say THANKS Trillian oops

    Ohhhhh how lovely, another little boy! A hand bag sounds like a good idea if you don't want to use it for bubs. Thats such a clever thing to do with the clothes.

    Hi,

    I just found this thread, and is great to see what other people are doing. I love making stuff out of old bits of material from old clothes or op shop finds, I can't follow patterns and my sewing is a bit hit a miss so everything is a bit rough round the edges but a fun hobby. Anyway I like to share things am making and just found this thread so here are some pics.
