Scrap & Stash Busting.


I'm ever-so-slowly working through my "to-do" and "want to-do" lists, but they are still a mile long! 
In no particular order:


On the hook, another little cardigan for Jocelyn, this will probably have 3/4 length sleeves, to avoid excess wetness of clothing (she is drooling/sucking on everything!). I'm using the leftover yarn from the big girls beanies.


A doll quilt for Laura, using the scraps from her own quilt, and a cute little Beatrix Potter patch. I am winging this, I have no plan at all, and it is all quite rough really, but I wanted to practise a few techniques and experiment a bit, and I'm doing it so that's the main thing!


Next up a pile of P.j pants for all the girls, all ready for the first pass through the machine, I'm definitely going construction line style with these!  I  bought a heap of Flannelette last year on clearance, I think it was less then a $1 a metre, Anyway all that material was taking up valuable storage space, so it had to used.  


And finally a Finish!,  A Pincushion organiser, made with the scraps of my first quilt, (which i will never ever show on here, It's just too embarrassing, though I was very proud of it at the time!) It may not look great but it is functional, I especially love the little scrap bin, perfect for a messy person like me! And of course I love how it sits on the arm of my chair or on my sewing table just right!
