an evenings work ... for busy hands ...



a friend wanted something for her nan, i had just had some freecycled fabric offered to me, but it was grubby and needing a wash. i pulled out some older stuff, with
a few textures and colours and some ribbon, and some 4 hole buttons ...

my sister is staying and she got out some knitting about 6 o clock when dinner was done and i started to cut squares. then the chids left the lap top, and came to
see what i was doing, daddy read to them and we put them to bed ...

at some point i called june to let her know she would have something fast, hubby put on batman and i flitten between floor and sewing machine and ironing board!
then i hand-sewed some buttons and backed the piece, pressed it and went to bed !

the next morning the kids loved it and i had lent my camera to a friend so all i had was my phone, but i took some pics of it before making a parcel. i knew i was going on a parcel run anyway ....



after the post office we took the girls to the park, and then came home for
lunch

And it's lovely! I'm sure my nan is going to love it, and fiddle with all the bits on it all day long! Thank you so much :o) And so quick too!
