Little Miss was whisked away yesterday morning for a sleepover at the beach (
Mornington Peninsula), lucky thing. As a thank you I made the brave woman having my child and her friend a
chookstop- she loves chickens, and I later found out her kitchen has a blue theme! So it can be used everywhere, really. It could also be a heat bag, it has a combination of rice and an old
heat bag's innards, which I've recycled as I don't like the fabric on the
heat bag anymore.
While the child was away, mummy will play- at
Nonna's house again. This time it was take it all, the leftovers were off to the tip! I was pretty restrained, bringing home a lot of dust, seeing as this was the fabric pile when I
walked in....
I brought home the roll of paper she used for patterns (and great for cut and paste, drawing or patterns!); about 6 half rolls of light grey interfacing; and the 2 plastic tubs I filled with fabric and the like.
These cottons are probably never going to be used by me, I got so many last time, so am
offering them up to whoever wants them (minus
over locker cotton,
I'll keep those ones, sorry!)
and I scored some great patterns, of course, being the pattern slut I am. Have to shift some on, probably all my baby ones I don't use so I can keep collecting vintage dresses etc.
There is still the
Yamato overlocker and
Consew industrial machine they are
umming and
ahhing over; I found the manuals online last night, and now I am
umming and
ahhing over them!
Off to sew before pick up time. Oh, watched
this last night, great flick, and filmed
in the good old western suburbs!
