Sewing!

[bluespirit]

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.

As soon as I saw the fabric I knew that I wanted to make something & then I thought 'lounge pants'! *g*
I test drove them last night vegging in front of the TV & they worked a treat. *g*

Oh, I'm sure Chris Hemsworth would be very pleased to know that you were lounging around in him! *eg*

I can think of nothing better!

I was thinking about the whole 'going to bed with Chris Hemsworth' thing... ;)

Mmmmm, so was I. His wife is such a lucky, lucky woman.

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

I love all of the various Avenger movies (ensemble & individuals) but I have such a soft spot for Thor.
