So predictable

Of course my Christmas selvedges were for a zipper pouch.

This one just has linen on the bottom. I like how it turned out.

I had to do some of that "other" kind of sewing yesterday. I took the plunge and cut the bottom off a long black dress, and then had to hem it. I do not like sewing slinky, satiny fabric at all....or black for that matter! I'm wearing it out to a Christmas party tonight (thinking of all the money I saved not buying a new frock).

I feel like I'm making good progress with the painting. I started putting things back in the laundry cupboards today, I hope I can keep it so neat and organised. My sewing room needs the same attention I think.

Have a great weekend.

  2. When you have finished tidying up your sewing room, Susan, could you please come to my place and do mine?? Love the selvedge bag; you are such a clever chick! PS: Forgot to say - have you visited the Catholic (I think) church in Mudgee's main street? The interior is decorated with the most beautiful stencilling. Mudgee is great (but of course you already knew that!)
