Emily

Finally for this week I have finished a cushion for Emily, to match her bedroom curtains that I made a few weeks ago (pic of those to follow)

Sewing room noticeboard

You can tell that I have far too much time on my hands as I have also made a notice board for my sewing room

Headboard

I have also finally made a bedhead for our bedroom, something I said I would do when we finished the extension ... was that really 2 years ago !!




"Army pants"

Here they are ... the replacement for the pirate pants I made a couple of years ago ... "army pants".
Trying to get the kids to part with them to wash them is already difficult so I think they may well get worn to death !
