Weekend Wrap Up.

The weather this weekend was terrible, rain, wind and thunder! Although that does make a good combination for staying inside and sewing (which is what I did mostly). Sewing the sash to the front of my first quilt, cutting and sewing up the back of my quilt and realising I don't have enough batting to fill it. There was a fabric shopping trip planned for this afternoon, but the bad weather wasn't inviting and so I postponed it for a better day. 


There was progress made on a few new bags for the shop that are mostly finished, and some work done on some not-so-finished bags. I also spent some time Christmas shopping (!!!) and planning my next personal project after I finish my quilt (I am thinking another cushion cover). Here's hoping for a productive week ahead!

Quick Quilt Update!

My pretty quilt is coming along! All my rows are now connected, I just need to add the sash around the edges and then the top will be done!

First Quilt Update.

 

 

As mentioned before, here are the rest of the pictures of the finished squares of my first quilt! It is only a small collection of them, because there is actually 49 of those bad boys! I thought it would be more of a pain than it actually was to make them up. 

Originally the quilt was suppose to be a combination of my two favourite colours, green and yellow (not Australian or anything!) but other colours kept creeping in and now its a sort of mash of colours. But that's fine, I love colour!

I am really looking forward to finishing this quilt and being able to look at it everyday when it's on my bed! =) 

Weekend Wrap Up.

This past weekend I:

Finished cutting out my pieces for my quilt.

Organised them into their squares and patterns. 

And sewed them up!  

I got some uni work done. 

And played with this guy! 

Organised some things for Everyday Mae, printed out labels, ordered some new supplies, etc. 

And spent some time working on a few super cute custom orders!

It has been such fantastic weather in Newcastle the past weekend! It so warm outside, and mostly it doesn't feel like winter. The only shame is that the house is still cold, and I can't possible do my sewing outside in the sun. I took a break from my sewing machine last night so Grant and I could go to a friends BBQ. Sadly I didn't get any photos either!

I'm so happy that I was able to finish my quilt squares in such short time! Now it's my aim to have them all connected before I visit my parents next time so I can show it to Mum for inspection. I have some more photos of my finished quilt squares but I am going to break them up into another post so it isn't so photo heavy! 

Weekend Wrap Up.

This past weekend I:

Made a really quick high-waisted ruffle skirt! (Ignore the terrible photo. I am bad at outfit shots!) 

Cut out some more pieces for my first quilt project. I bought these super awesome vintage fat quarters from this shop here. 

I also (almost) finished off this dress! I decided to do bias binding around the neckline and arm holes and I was happy with how it turned out, considering I haven't done that before.

A quick visit to the fabric shop today. I got these fabrics, some of which are going to go into my quilt project. 

I also started working on my next dress. This is going to be a different design to the last two I've made. I am hoping to get the majority of the sewing finished tomorrow, I am planning on wearing this dress next weekend! Eekk. 

I finished off and listed four new bags in the shop over the weekend (I will talk about these in a later post!) Thanks goes to Grant who provided the hand that you can see in the pictures. 

I love the look of curls, and so when I found this blog post I knew that I would have to try it out. I left the rags in for longer to make sure my hair was completely dry. When I took them out I had really, really tight ringlets! You can kind of see the result in the first picture. Definitely be doing that again!

That about sums up my weekend! 

Beginning the Green & Yellow Quilt

I tried to get back into the swing of things today and do some sewing. I decided to start cutting out pieces for my green and yellow quilt, and realised that I definitely need to buy some more to finish it off. Fabric shopping here I come!
