Going through all the runners yesterday was a damn good idea.
It has shown me where the 'gaps' are.
We have 24 days until our next market. I am going to try and make 8 runners and 10 bowl cosy's in that time.
The runners will be 3 Wonky House runners and 5 very simple Paua Shell Runners.
I have an order for a Paua Shell Runner, so that will be the first one I make today.
Then I will work on the bowl cosy's, as they sell quite fast.
Later on today I will be packing a bag, because Stew and I are going to Taupo and Rotorua on Friday and Saturday. More about that tomorrow.
VIKIE: I tried adding a YouTube link for you here, but it didn't work. Gimme a minute:
That is the pattern I use. Always use Cotton Batting and thread. I don't know how Cotton Canvas would work. Try it and see.
I have not felt well all day. Upset tummy.
Thank you for enquiring Christy, nice to know you care.
I got into the sewing room late this afternoon and managed to make these:
One is pre-sold, she just has to choose which one she wants. The other will go to market. I am going to make a few more like this, with the Kiwi on them.
Very simple, but hey! Some people like simple.
Well the one without the Kiwi was chosen, so I get to take the other one to market in November.
I'm already working on the next two, but have stopped for now.
Dinner for Stew was crackers, cheese and gherkins.
I still don't feel like much ... maybe later.
We need to pack our bags before bedtime too. Just waiting until I feel like moving again. Right now I just want to sit and blob out.
Catch ya tomorrow.
Chris, I am making bowl cosy’s for extended family for xmas.
ReplyDeleteI wondered if you had a favorite pattern? Any tips? Most patterns seem to offer three sizes. What size do you suggest?
I assume you use cotton batting. I have extra from the ends of quilts to use up.
I also happen to have a lot of cotton canvas, I was wondering how that would work.
