My Creative Space



I thought I'd play along with this week's Creative Space at Kirsty's.
On my table are the beginnings of the Toddler Bag I spoke about on my previous post.
I am preparing all the little pieces I need. I went to Lincraft and I was quite disappointed with the selection but it was closer to home than Spotlight in the time I was "toddlerless".

Below:

I really love the little train in the clouds. Sometimes that is where my head is at.
In the clouds or in a place that is magical and contains lots of good coffee, sewing and crafting time.

I've also started thrifting some nylon straps for the two bags I am making.
It only just occurred to me today that I may have some laying around attached to un-used bags.
I've already used some old stiff paper to print out the paper pattern and hope to use up things in my stash.

Before I go, don't forget to visit Betz White for the start of great Earth Day giveaways.

I hope that you guys have a great weekend and lest we forget the ANZAC's this Sunday.
God Bless.

Christmas Book Giveaway!

** Giveaway closed ** EDIT: I've linked this up to the Sew Mama Sew Giveaway Day !! Giveaway ends Friday December 13th!

Invisible zipper foot - Birch

I thought I might shed some light on the invisible zipper foot. I bought a Birch model from Spotlight and it came in a little plastic bag with four blue shanks and a rolling foot. 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...
