Quiet Summer’s End

Despite the weather, S-I-C sewers have not been idle. 

• Star of the class, Edwina, has completed a joyous elephant beanbag. 

• Edwina has also, very ingeniously, pieced her grandson’s old denim jeans to make him a birthday beanbag – a perfect way to recycle old favourites.

• The covering of the old, much-loved Ikea sofa has continued – necessitating a branching out into timber repair (using a very sturdy plank salvaged from my mother’s 1960s sofa).

• I have also enjoyed completing a classic 1960’s-design ‘frock’ – the half-made garment was found in my mother’s loft in a very grubby state (and, not by design, the dress fits my daughter perfectly).

A cooler day today, so perhaps time to think about creating for Christmas?
