Erm...well yes..when I say "sewing corner" I had intended to show a tutorial on making this here pouch......However, I got this far...
then botched up severely...it's those pesky zips you see!!
So I'm sharing 2 links that show PROPER tutorials on making pouches without warped zips! They really are lovely clever ladies Here and here!
And where does that leave this post...
All thats left..my sewing corner literally! And a little of what inspires and surrounds...
Meet Jeanie (my wee machinie!) .....she is such a loyal friend and has stood by me for many years despite the severe one sidedness of our relationship. Never once has she flinched at the barrage of obcenities uttered (particularly towards zips!) nor begged for that little drop of oil she has yet to feel on her workings! I'm pretty sure she's actually smiling today because I dusted her off especially for the photo...
Ok...note to self...be nicer to Jeanie!
Can you see the wee birdie and the bunting?.....it's painted by the most loveliest Michele, who's unwavering honesty is both inspiring and life affirming to be true to you!
A memento of my little ocean book that took a trip to the sea and met the cutest little dude!
An Owl by Cori dantini......just LOVE her work, and Gwinnie B's beautiful silver work too.
Loretta Grayson's tiny tree and an original Maia rainbow badge made at age 3 :)
random cuttings from packaging and magazines but speak to me still
and of course my trusty little assistant :)
Ok next sewing corner will involve sewing, promise! :)x
Awww! Thanks for the mention. :)
