Sewjourn Show and Tell

Today I have a little show and tell of projects made on the weekend at Sewjourn. This is not a fully inclusive list - I was far too busy eating and sewing to take many photos, and of the photos that I did take, half are blurry!

Liesl finished off this lovely coat for her mum, and I finished off my Day Bag for me. I'll take some photos of all of the extra features that I included later in the week.

I whipped up this Seekers apron for Ms L. She bought the tea towel at the Seekers Concert a few years ago. I bought the black fabric with stars from the local patchwork shop in Lancefield. It wasn't exactly the print that I was looking for, but it works perfectly with a tea towel for a musical act.

I also whipped up a little drawstring bag from a scrap of zoo fabric. I forgot to take drawstring cord with me, but luckily Liesl had some on hand to finish it off.

Cathy whipped up a sweet little pink Burrito... he just needs a bit of stuffing

Bev finished off her quilt top (sorry about the blurry photo) - the applique is beautiful when it's not blurry.

Bec made this quilt top from scratch using her favourite chenille (or channeeeeeeeal in an aussie twang)

She even thought she deserved a halo after finishing off this little zippered purse...

Annabel whipped up this quilt top from scratch in lovely soothing blue and greens

The one thing that we forgot to do, was to tape our ad for Janome - once we'd all unpacked our machines Friday night, we realised that there were 6 Janome sewing machines and 2 Janome overlockers on the table.
Serena arrived on Saturday with an Elna which was obviously upset with the balance of the universe in the room, as it proceeded to break down..... poor little Elna!

My creative space

I'm currently testing out the revised instructions for the Day Bag for Nikki..... so this is my second zippered pocket - woohoo!

I've finished the outer of the bag - I decided to add the optional front flap.

.... and I was lucky enough to watch, and learn all about making structured bag bases, and using purse feet, while Nikki was making her fabulous video tutorial yesterday.

If you watch closely, my bag makes a guest appearance right at the end!

I'd better pack up all of my bag bits and pieces and take them along to Sewjourn to finish off.

Also arriving in my creative space this week - a fabulous crocheted tablecloth from Tania at Myrtle and Eunice - there are hundreds of beautiful circles to play with....yippee!

Thanks Tania
