Scrap Happy, oh yes I am!
I've had great fun this week so far, making things from scraps!
First I made another zipped pouch for a friend who fell for the first one I made. It's great when you make something with mad colours and you think it's a bit out there but someone loves it! I also made another set of bunting which is currently winging it's way to Australia!
Yesterday I had loads of time with nothing to do.......... okay, that's not true, there were loads of things I could have done but it was the first day that all three of my kids were back at school after 10 days of sickness. I had a quiet house and decided to make the best of it.......... but really I spent half the day deciding what to do ! Finally, at 5pm, I finally dug out the scraps and made this heart wreath. I love it, it's totally scrapilicious!!! There are dozens of different fabrics and colours in there! It's hanging on the blue wall of my sewing room and pops with colour in reality - the pic doesn't quite do it justice.
I will do a tutorial on this in a few days if anyone is interested!
Today, I got to the sewing machine earlier and when I found one single Eiffel Tower scrap, I chose to make a scrappy cushion cover around it. I used the quilt-as-you-go method so it came together very fast. By noon, all I had left was to put the backing on and I had a squishy, scrappy, pink cushion!
Wonder what I'll do tomorrow morning!
