Ready, Set, Overlock

Last week the 35 completed library bags were delivered and I was handed a pile of 54 - fortunately they were cut and ready to go.  The overlocker was set up with the bags all lined up next to it to zoom through.  

About 30 mins later all the tops had been overlocked.

Time for a coffee break before separating them and making a start on the side seams.

Then it was onto making some black and white blocks for this months RSC blocks.    Not a great deal of progress was made  with these.

I will continue to work with the black and white scraps to finish off the required number of blocks needed and then make a start on the aqua scraps which is July's nominated colour.  

Later on in the day I will be returning my library books and replenishing them with another pile.   The latest one to be finished is below.    While I did suspect the "twist" about half through the book it did not spoil the read for me. 

Back soon and in the meantime

A Late Start to FNSI

It was not possible to join in for FNSI last night but a start was made early this morning while joining in with Chooky and some of the other Chookshed stitchers for a coffee morning zoom session.   SlowNo progess had been over the course of the last week on the 10 bibs for Network Heaven but that changed this morning and I am pleased to report that I was able to carry on after the zoom session and all 10 are now finished and ready for delivery.

Next item to be worked on is this month's rainbow scrap challenge blocks.   This month is all about pastel colours.    I have decided to go with using up some of the black and white scraps.   I had best get cracking on this soon as the end of the month is closing in very quickly and nothing has even been started.  

Back soon and in the meantime

This week in the sewing room....

Was all about trying to finish off a few items.   First up 35 library bags that were started about 3 weeks ago have now had their casings sewn and all turned right side out.    They will be delivered to the co-ordinator soon to have the drawstrings put through.  

Then it was onto the three bowl cosies that were ordered.  

While this was happening an order for 2 heat packs was received.    Done and ready to deliver.  

This audio book was playing alongside me as I sewed.

Now all that is left on the sewing table to finish is the 10 bibs.    They are on next week's agenda.

Back soon and in the meantime

FNwF

Started early on Friday afternoon for me.    An order for 3 bowl cosies was received during the week.  Fabrics were gathered and cutting out happened.  

I was contacted by one of the co-ordinators of Network Heaven during the week and asked if I could make 10 babies bibs.   Fabrics were selected, the much used pattern was located and cutting began.

Back soon and in the meantime
