Not quite sure where I'm going with this...

...but thought I'd post it anyway. It's the front of a new cafetiere cosy, but I've just run out of thread so had to stop. I do love machine embroidery, just not very good at it yet! Anyway, its a cold old afternoon, and I've got two biscuits and a cup of tea, so I ain't complaining. Am currently listening to Ray Conniff's version of Volare on Spotify - fab!

Here are some of new cafetiere cosies, inspired my recent forays into the secret life of the sewing machine. Mush more fun than sewing carefully around neat borders!

Well, hello there

It's been a damn long time since I posted anything new, but here I am, back in full attack, with a picture of the jacket of my new book (to aid easy identification, should you stray into the crafts section of a bookshop or website anytime soon...)

The book is a helpful guide to exploiting the obscure functions contained in most sewing machines that we (and I mean me, here) never get around to using.
