Summer stitching

It’s a cooler than usual, very wet summer here in Sydney, while we try to keep ourselves and each other as protected from the Omicron ‘wave’ as we can. Our regular meetings are back on Zoom, but the stitching hasn’t stopped although it has been a good time to slow down and/or catch up.

Pat used a quilt she made several years ago to make a very stylish,
on trend jacket. She has embellished the collar with
additional stitching.

We might have heard her say that ‘next time’ she would make up quilted fabric panels rather than cut up a quilt …

Janice’s Boro Rice Bag is finished after a couple of years.
Slowly chipping away at the ufos. It is lined iwith a natural linen.
A nice project from Cutting Cloth.

Aren’t those interior pockets an excellent inclusion?

Helen has been ‘playing around’ with some vintage scraps 

dyed with onion skins and avocado, making small 

but finished things like this sewing kit.
