Bunting bonanza



Hi y'all

Supposed to be up early working.  In fact up early blogging.  Naughty!


The thing on my mind today is bunting.  The road I live on is planning a street party to mark the Queen's jubilee year.  I've said I'd love to make some bunting to zig-zag across the street.  I'm going to ask all the residents to donate red, white and/or blue fabric and see how much we can make between us all.  Upcycling, communal crafting, decorating the neighbourhood - what's not to love!

I did a wee Google on bunting (instead of finishing a bank proposal...) and found this amazing site, Georgie Love.  AND, she's doing a giveaway to win a load of fab stuff including a gift certificate which would buy me a couple of metres of bunting to get the project started.  Get in!

What would you spend your gift certificate on?

Happy How-Tuesday: today it's coin purses...

Image
Morning my lovelies Today I though I'd bring you a lovely tutorial which I found on one of my favourite blogs, How About Orange . It's for a clever and extremely cute coin purse which is entirely made out of a zip! It requires hand sewing, a long long zip and some mind-bending spatial awareness. This month's edition of Mollie Makes mag has some super-cute ribbon as a freebie, so I may give it a go. If you don't hear from me for a bit, perhaps one of you could pop round and cut me free...

How-Tuesday 2: wallet totes

Aye-aye shipmates. Yup, it's How-Tuesday - hasn't the week gone fast? I got given one of this kind of bag for Christmas by a very sweet work colleague and I LOVE it!  Seems like a perfect idea for a tute, I thought to myself.
