Sewing!
I've had a new sewing machine as an early birthday present! \o/
I love it - it's so smooth (& quiet) & can do 5 different styles of button hole! I know, 5! LOL

I gave it a test drive this afternoon by making myself a pair of comfy lounge pants with some cute Thor fabric that I bought on holiday in the US (what can't you find in Walmart, eh? *g*)

I've been really enjoying my sewing over the last few months. Here are some of the bits & bobs that I've made:
A throw cushion for my friend's birthday:
A hot water bottle cover for my Mom:
A bag for me:

An iPad case for Mr B:
I got the awesome fabric from Hancocks when we were on holiday. :)
Ferdy Fox for my Mom:
I only wish places like Jo-ann's Fabrics & Hancocks shipped to the UK! We just don't have so many lovely fabrics to choose from here.
Btw - is anyone else having problems with their user icons? When I answer a comment, only my default icon gets used - even when I've selected another.

I'm just teaching myself as I go, but I'm really enjoying it.

Yes, *sighs* having the same problems that only the default icon is showing.
And I want my Thor icon.

Yay! Your Thor icon is showing. I'll try mine. *fc*

My default icon showed at first but when I edited it to Thor, Thor did show up.

You are much more talented than I. I'm not good with sewing machines.
Yes, I'm having the same issues with my icons. *grumble*

I test drove them last night vegging in front of the TV & they worked a treat. *g*

I can think of nothing better!

I think it might be time to watch Thor again...

The Thor pants are brilliant, and it must be wonderful to be able to give 'home made' gifts to people - they're so much more personal.
*goes back for another look*

I love all the things you've made but.. Ferdy Fox?!!! He's adorable! LOL! The throw cushion is particularly swish - very tasteful and lovely.
I have absolutely no idea why you made yourself a bag with dogs on it... ;-) ;-)
no subject
I wore my Thor pants last night while watching the telly, & they've turned out to be nice & comfy. :)
Ferdy is cute, isn't he? Mom has always loved the spectacle of hunting (the clothes, etc - not the actual hunting part) & so I had to make this for her.
Yeah, a dog bag - what was I thinking?! *g*

Or called HAL... those pod bay doors don't open by themselves you know, Dave!
I love how inspired you are! And as long as your cyber-sewing machine doesn't take over the world, only good stuff can come of this! LOL!

You should get someone in the states to buy what you need from Joanns and mail it to you.

I do love the novelty fabrics that they have in the US. :)
