Phew! I have finally got to the end of my mammoth sewing and crocheting marathon!
So here are the next batch of projects completed for my
Bearpaw Craft Classes venture.
Do you remember the
Sleepy Owl Pyjama Case I made last year? Well here is his big brother Wide Awake Owl Doorstop!
I thought this fella was so cute I couldn't help photographing him over and over again as he flew around the garden!
Here is another Pillowcase Dress for a class I am taking in September. Once I have finished the class I will send the dress (along with another I will make as a demo) to Louise for her wonderful appeal. She is collecting dresses for the
'Dress a Girl Around the World' charity. Louise has received 140 already and 100 have been sent off to Malawi! If you would like to join in just head on over to
Louise's Sew Scrumptious blog. Hopefully some of my students might donate one of the dresses they make too!
Patchwork Tote Bag - you have seen plenty of these here before!
And these! I have renamed this 'Patchwork Cottage Pincushion'.
If anyone would like to make one of these (and can't get to Edinburgh to take a class!) then I have a tutorial
here.
A crochet hook roll from Last Minute Patchwork and Quilting Gifts book (that really is a great book!)
This can be made for knitting needles or coloured pencils too.
And, last one in this batch, a Log Cabin Patchwork Cushion.
This will be the first class I take in 3 weeks time, a real beginners patchwork course with a little hand stitching thrown in. I really like the colour scheme I picked for this cushion, quite an unusual one for me.
Well we actually had our Launch Day yesterday and it went very well! We took lots of class bookings and everybody loved our new studio, in fact one of the classes is already full booked! So I am feeling very positive about this new venture and maybe it will have been worth all the hard work (though not sure you can call sewing and crocheting hard work!).
I will post some photos of the studio very soon, along with the last 2 projects I have been working on, one of which is an actual finished quilt!
