I am finally feeling the space ...space to think about something that is not on a deadline.....
So I sat on the couch with my needle and thread, some recycled hessian and a few vintage bits......and I hand sewed....sewed just for pleasure.
Now I have a little bit of festive bunting that cheers up a blank space....actually I think it could pass for non festive hanging too...maybe it will hang out there long after the festive season is finished.

I have always loved hand sewing. When I was a teen my grandmother dragged me (very unwillingly) to a sewing bee with her lady friends at church for a little hand sewing on a quilt. I have to say that once there I enjoyed it very well and to this day I quilt because of those sweet old lady's. But there is something about the hand sewing like you did on the bird that I have always loved and you did it so well. You must have a very steady hand. I can not sew in a straight line or even draw in a straight line for that matter lol. BUT! I love to sew all the same. xx
ReplyDeleteOh how cute is that! Looks terrific! Well done!
ReplyDeleteIt looks great, love the personal touches you've added to each flag.
ReplyDeleteLove this Bron - so gorgeous and special and meaningful x
ReplyDeleteBron the Bunting is beautiful and I'm sure hand stitching with a cuppa is very relaxing. I'm sure you can still get little boxed Gingerbread houses...in fact Aldi had them the other day (not sure if Aldi is in Perth yet). I think it was kmart I got them but they are all relatively cheap where ever you buy them which is great in my opinion. Regards Kathy A, Brisbane, Australia
