THE HEAT IS ON.....
Wow, what a Scorcher! It's been way too hot for me over the past week and my little corner of Wales hasn't had it half as bad as some of you lot in the South East. I feel for you, I really do, hope the temps are going down from today.
I've spent some time in the JanCave with a nice breeze coming through the open window:
I didn't hang around with the new fabrics as shown last week!
They do make for pretty gift sets! I've got an unexpected craft fair this Saturday (was offered a cancellation spot) so thought I'd make a few more items for the stall.
I love this Klimt-esque sunflower design, it's a really soft cotton too, lovely to handle. I'm doing one set each of the green and yellow lining. There was just enough over to make a little zippy bag or two as well:
Hopefully these will appeal to someone!
My mate Helen passed on some curtains she no longer had use for, they were made from Next Cotton fabric so perfect for upcycling. I started unpicking one afternoon:
Sitting on the JanCave bed in the breeze, it was lovely! However it took me so long to unpick the first one that I just cut off the heading tape of the second, I had to sacrifice some fabric that way but it was either that or my sanity!! The fabric will make great beach bags or peg bags, perfect around here.
That's it for today, short and sweet. Hope you're keeping as cool as you can xxxxxx
