Economy Block Cushion I’m still plodding along with Ros’ aka Sew Delicious Quilt Block Boot Camp each week (I blogged here about the little Raspberry Kiss and Simple Heart Block). I’m a little behind but hoping to catch up in the next couple of weeks. Here is one I made a few weeks ago and […]
Pattern Review: Melly and Me, Buttercup bunny I have a bit of a blogger crush on Melanie McNeice aka Melly and Me. I met her a few years ago at a craft retreat and just love what she does. She has supported me a couple of times on my little old blog which I am […]
Bridie and I are busy preparing for our favourite market of the year – the Maribynong Makers Market. If you live in Melbourne, it is well worth a trip to see all the amazing creators and designers. I do tend to spend as much as I make on the day, I just can’t help myself!! A […]

Lil Pip Sew Box Purse – with embroidery thread detail I feel like this doesn’t really warrant an entire post but in my desire to have different options for a whole week, I’m just going with it. This is the straight line version of the medium clutch I designed. I do personally prefer the wider […]
Lil Pip Sew Box Purse – how to make a glasses case Is a glasses case dorky? Is it very granny to make one with a metal frame clasp? Do I even care or do I love the fabrics my 8yo boy selected for me!! (“You love purple mummy”). To make this one I used […]
