Well, it's been awhile and I have been doing a few bits and pieces but I admit I haven't been doing that much sewing. Not long now til our "honeymoon" I can't wait!
Anyway yesterday the lovely Elise hosted our monthly crafternoon and I admit... I spent more time talking and eating than doing anything crafty! So Elise in her wisdom stepped in and got me to do some Appliqué! Now awhile ago she gave a tutorial class on how to appliqué - so yesterday we had a little bit of refresher.
Elise kindly provided the material and bib so all I needed to do was choose a design! That took awhile but I finally decided on a bird and here is the finished product. I ended up stitching it by hand - I tried it on the machine but it looked a little rough. I have to admit I'm not a massive fan of blanket stitch which was why I chose to do it on the machine but sewing it by hand didn't take that long anyway! I think it looks pretty cute. Will thought it was a wale with two windsurfers on it's head... tell me what you think!!!
Here is Sheba modelling the bib (she wasn't too happy about it as you can see...)

You have come far young grasshopper! You're right, Sheba doesn't look terribly impressed ;) Very cute!! Elise xx
