Shabby Chic Bag

More of the shabby than of the chic. This didn't turn out at all the way intended. It was supposed to be a bag that you could turn over to make it look as if it were reversible.

Stray Socks

Both and black and the orange creatures are stray socks - they are both worn and bobbly. I think it means they look as if they are well loved.

I just love the piggy. Unfortunately it isn't made from a stray sock, I just had to buy a packet with wavy tops. The little creature is stray though because she was made from the pig's leftovers.

I recently bought the book Stray Sock Sewing and have had great fun.

The black one is the first one I made and the little pink one is made of left overs.

Necklace

I spent yesterday at Mayhill Textiles. Aggie, a member of our group, showed us how to make a beaded necklace. First of all I stitched a pipe cleaner to some vilene. The beads are sewn on over the top of the pipe cleaner. When it is finished, I shall trim the vilene and fold it over underneath.
