I have started to try out the projects for the first week long course I am planning for October half term -
Basic Sewing Skills and Patchwork.
Every new sewer needs a pin cushion so what better place to start!
I have used 2 simple patchwork designs for my first pin cushions but it got me flicking through my books and old patterns. I love all the different designs and especially their funny names, I will definitely look into the origins of these a bit more closely.
Below is a selection of American designs, including Puss in the Corner, Turkey Tracks and Robbing Peter to Pay Paul.
The lavender in our garden has gone completely crazy this year so I decided to dry some out to add to my pin cushions so they smell great too.
