The Secret Stitch Club

I stumbled upon this Blog. The Secret Stitch Club. They made lovely aprons and what I love most is their patchwork x-mas stocking…it’s really cute…go and check out the blog (if you’re not already).

This remind me of my 2 dear friends in Mumbai, India. Everyday, over the YM, we chat/discuss about what project to make, what blogs are nice to visit, etc. It’s really fun. And when we start doing the projects, we keep our YM open so that we can ask each other if we have some problem.

What I want to say is,because the internet now we can share our joy of sewing and hand crafting with our friends even though they are miles away from our place.

You can visit my friends blog HERE and HERE

happy crafting ^_^

PS: I don’t know how to insert web page photo to blog , so pardon me if the photo is not good…:-S

Today’s craft

Yesterday I cut few pieces of fabric to make zipper pouch. But only 2 are done today, plus 4 fabric coasters. My working time usually  not start until my younger son goes to school at about 10.30 am. After a nice hot cup of tea & few biscuits, I usually start doing what I set out to do that day. At times, I can get very lazy and one more thing, I avoid opening my laptop when I have sewing work to do..^_*. Since I roughly have 1 hour free everyday, before my elder one come from school followed by the younger one. By the time they settle down (napping or playing with his crayons), it’s already 3 pm. If they are agreeable, I can continue my sewing otherwise it has to wait for a couple of days.

So, today being one of those hectic day, only these stuff I finished. The bright pink stripe zip pouch is made of south Indian hand woven cotton – my favorite . Both the pouches are interfaced and lightly padded, so it’s safe for gadgets too.

Today I visited my friend’s blog who has finished her embroidery projects. She did bullion stitch on one of her shirt, which is very cute and she’s done a very nice embroidery.  She’s also done smocking which is very pretty. This remind me of my unfinished smocking projects. I have done the smocking embroidery, but I haven’t got around to sew the dress..I know it’s very bad habit *_*

 

Good nite for now…~_~
