NEVER TOO OLD TO LEARN

There’s not a lot happened since Wednesday’s blog post except

for learning about a Japanese printing method called Hapa Zome.

Flower bashing to you and me.

YOU TUBE VIDEO On HAPA ZOME PRINTING

Here’s my first attempt.

Then I messed about with the image on PhotoGrid and

came up with a lovely print.

There’s been a call out from best friend Sue asking if I had

a toilet bag her Dad could borrow to take in hospital with him.

This led me to quickly stitching one together with no idea what

I was doing and ending up with one flowered side and one tweed side.

Don’t ask me how that happened, the flowers should be on the inside.

I knew I was getting a bit above myself thinking I could do it.

The night before at the sewing class I’m attending I managed to

make this fabric box with blow by blow instructions by teacher

Gail. I’ve never been as quiet in my life, I had to concentrate so hard.

I was sharp enough to use the same fabric on the inside as the

tote bag I made last week and I’ve got them earmarked now for a

friend’s special birthday later this year.

Next week is the last of the sewing classes. Even though I’ve

managed to finish things it requires far too much brain power

for my liking. I’m more of a faffer and bodge it sewer.

I spotted this the other day and thought Annie’s Friday Smile ladies

would appreciate it.

Here’s a little update of what’s going on in the garden

Hope you are all enjoying the sunshine.

Have a good weekend
