GetTing CraFty WiTh it...............

Some time during this year, I happened to purchase a template for a Drunkards path.... another thing to squirrel away in the craft room.  :)

Well, after much procrastinating over some stitching down of binding this afternoon, I went for a wonder to my craft room.  Just to see what it looked like oh and to see if my sewing machine still worked with a years worth of dust collecting on it. Well guess what?  It did work, and then this mad woman kicked into gear......
Trawling through the scrap box, I thought I would just see if I could get this template.. . . .I had also previously purchased (a couple of years ago at the Sydney craft show, after much harassment of the demonstrator, But will I be able to use it right when I get home? YES) A roller and these tweezery things specifically for this purpose.  Because apparently you need to roll the seem flat NOT IRON IT OUT....

So then it was the massive digging through the fabric stash.  I have managed to use fabric that had only been cut previously and scraps so far.  Go figure.  Looks great huh.  A few more to go yet.  But I'm loving the results.


Happy sewing...
