I Quilt. I Sew. I Craft. Join Me!
Here’s what I’ve been working on the last couple of days: some fabric lanyards for a special order. Each one is different made with various fabrics from my stash. Almost all of these fabrics have been used before in pencil cases or coin purses in my Shop. They were made using the same method I [...]
After I started this project at the ProBlogger Event last month, it got lots of lovely comments. But it has been slow going. It has been my “take to swimming and dancing” project so it only had a little bit of time on it each week. But last night when the end was in sight, [...]
Do you have lots of fabric scraps? Me too! I have scraps from cutting pencil cases and coin purses for my Shop, plus I have scraps of the interfacing I use in the pencil cases. But recently I had an “A-ha” moment: all those scraps could combine to become bookmarks for the crafty stall at [...]
My kids love the library! For Little Miss, it is about the books. She loves to read. For Mr Happy, it might be more about the fire engine that sits in the kids book section waiting for kids to climb on it! They get to go to the school library too. At school they can’t [...]
This scarf has got to be the quickest easiest scarf I’ve ever made. Little Miss asked for some light scarves now that it is starting to get warmer here so I picked up some bright light floaty fabric on special a couple of weeks back. After a busy morning I was keen to sit at [...]

With Father’s Day on the way here in Australia, I’ve been thinking of possible manly gift ideas. This one would be perfect! It is using some more of the lovely felt provided by Plushka’s Makery. Sew this felt phone case in less than half an hour! What You Will Need Felt – 10″ x 3.5″ [...]
My sunglasses travel with me. Literally. Usually on my head. When I take them off I need a case. I have one in the car and another in my hand bag. So wherever I am there’s a case to slip them into. This tutorial will help you sew one too. What you will need 4 [...]
I’ve finished!! I’ve been loving this crochet rainbow blanket as I’ve worked on it. So much so that I haven’t been able to resist sending out updates every now and again on Instagram and Facebook. It’s a soft and snuggly rainbow, and very, very easy. All the rows are the same stitches over and over. [...]
When it comes to baby gifts, I’m always torn. I love to give toys, especially to new babies without older siblings, but I also love to give something with a touch of handmade about them. One of my first stops would usually be Big W Toys but I recently checked out the rest of [...]
