What a great time we've been having here at Urban Sewing
During the school holidays
and after school
Above is one young student's first embroidery! Isn't it wonderful.
We made it into a needle book.
The embroidery design is by Australian Designer Anni Downs
from her little book Simple Pleasures available on-line from Hatched and Patched
More stitching. These gorgeous hanging lavender sachets are called Lavender Girls
they came from www.lillipopo.co.uk and make very welcome gifts.

Here's another one. They are so big and soft and retro and the perfect thing to use up scraps.
Dream up some beautiful bunting.
Print up some large letters on paper and trace them onto vliesofix. Use free motion stitching to outline them. Perfect!
I love the leafy tree.
I find myself ironing little left over bits of vliesofix to little fabric scraps and cutting out leaf shapes. I have a bagful just ready for a rainly day. Add some beautiful varigated quilting cotton and feature stitching.What was once waste can now become a cushion to make anyone smile.
(Not sure you could give me a bigger happier smile than Jasmine)
