Tweed Jacket and skirt

Nice warm tweed jacket and skirt - mixed with wool, complete with the work trousers that I also made.

Crochet baby slippers

I crochet these little slippers for my friends little girl as a Christmas gift - she loved them :)

Sock monkeys for everyone

Sock monkeys - made 10 of them for Christmas gifts! You get two socks, pair of buttons and some wadding - and voilà you got a monkey. They very easy and quick to sew!

Quiet on the Majo...

Sorry - it has been very quiet here lately... However only because I have been busy making and sewing things ;). I did have a workshop running from September until December last year, on every Wednesday with my friends Tomoko and Naomi. I taught Tomoko how to make a sock monkey and also how to crochet, a skill that she brought with her to Tokyo!! Naomi had her time filled with making her work office dress - she only needed a few hints and tips on how to follow the pattern - it it looked brilliant when finished! Hopefully when Tomoko is back from Japan we can start our sewing circles on Wednesdays again - and it would be fun if more could join us!

I am now working on a 500 something 'nanny' squares at the moment - hopefully be done in month or so! At every available opportunity you will see me crochet on this (what will be) enormous bedspread.
