Warm necks
More neck warmers, from the same pattern as before. I do have a couple more crochet projects that are a little more complex in the works – but it will be a while before they are finished. This one is in Patons Inca (a left-over ball that was in the stash).
It’s a little narrower than the others because I ran out of yarn! However, it is still wide enough to be functional. The next one is in Cleckheaton Vintage Hues (also left-over from stash):
These brooches are from felt flowers I bought at a craft fair at the beginning of the year. The buttons are from stash, of course!
I’m trying to take the opportunity to fit in small gift type projects in around my other sewing, in order to build up a bit of a store of hand-made gifts. My other works in progress are these purses:
I had a cutting out frenzy on the weekend. There are nine ready to go, all interfaced and fused to wadding. Now for time to sew!
What beautiful neck warmers – the colours are wonderful. And that’s a lot of purses you’ve got on the go there. Most impressive!
Love the fabrics you are using for your purses – excellent little gifts to have on hand.
Lovely neck warmers, I especially love the vintage hues one.
ohhh can’t wait to see the purses. I just bought my first kit fron Nicole M.
The neckwarmers are such a great idea. Warmth without all the bulk of a scarf!
I am really impressed with the line-up for your pressie cupboard – I bet people will be knocking at your door, saying ‘remember me?’ just to get some of the goods.
As for Heather Ross’ Mendocino – you HAVE to get some – the fabric is so divine to the touch – like a silked cotton and cute to boot!
Love the felt flower brooches – did you cut them my hand or are they die cut?
Disregard my total lack of spell checking – I was horrible at English that is why I have a Science Degree – I meant did you cut them by hand not my hand!
I am loving neck warmers these days and have been thinking on knitting one…yours are so lovly maybe I should work on that!
I envy your fabric stash!
Wow…. what a nice range of fabric you have, and you sure have a lot to sew.
Oh, I love those brooches – they are so cute. You have some lovely fabric for the purses too. Looking forward to seeing the end result! I’m in gift mode at the moment too – trying to crack on with lots of handmade gifts for Christmas – seems strange to be thinking about Christmas in August but I’ve learnt from experience that things always seem to take much longer than I plan. This year I’m prepared!
Great to catch up yesterday!! Our conversation somehow inspired me to revisit Z&S and order a few more bundles of fabric… oops!
Looking forward to seeing all those purses coming together!!!
