Sunny Days



Look what arrived in the mail! I won this beautiful headband from Grace Designs. Rosalind kindly made it to fit Little Miss' head and it's so pretty.
Thankyou Rosalind.


I've been sewing up Little Man's winter coat. It hasn't been that chilly so I have a few more days before he'll be sporting this at church. It's made of Melton Chocolate Wool. Yummmm.
I've lined it with some black fleece 'cos I couldn't find anything to match it.
I hope to finish it this week and take some pics of him in it.

So we're hoping you're all enjoying the sunshine where-ever you are.
We celebrated my nieces 1st birthday on the weekend and she sang the song like this:
For she's a jolly good fellow
For she's a jolly good fellow
For she's a jolly good feeeellooowwww and....
sausage on a bus!
I've no idea where that came from.

First I removed the standard foot from my Janome sewing machine (Sewist 521). I realised I still needed to remove the shank, which is the part that is screwed on, and holds the interchangeable feet. So with one hand holding the screwdriver and one hand holding my daughter, who just had to watch, it popped out disappeared somewhere. NO! I was about to kick myself but luckily I found it in the basket underneath my table. Phew. The Birch invisible zipper foot comes with one shank already in place so you know how it's suppose to fit. You have to select the correct shank that fits your machine and slide it onto the foot piece. I just tried each blue part on my machine and made sure it was wide enough to cover the metal leg bit and that I could fit the screw in it's side. Once you find the correct shank sl...
