Merry Christmas Every One

May all your christmas dreams come true.

The Great British Sewing Bee Christmas Special and Kath Kidson "Sew"

I am looking forward to watching the Great
British Sewing Bee Christmas special tonight
on BBC 2 at 7.40pm
Lets hope it's a good one !

Using the Cath Kidson "Sew" book I have made
these Christmas present. All of the items shown
in the book  "Sew"are made in using Kath
Kidson fabric.

But it shows how versatile the patterns
can be when you use different fabric.
The Kath Kidson pattern's are great
shapes, you have to trace them off !
This was easy to do. The instructions
are (I think ) quite hard to follow, but
each project is marked, easy not much experience,
more experience, etc. Pop this on your christmas
list if you like making gifts and lovely items
for the house.

Brighton Open Houses

Looking for some unusual gifts ? I would recommend
Brighton and Hove Open Houses.

Weekends from the 30th November to 15th December.

Visiting the Christmas Artists Open Houses is a great way

to discover the creative talent that exists in the Brighton and Hove.

You’ll find homewares,  photography, jewellery, ceramics,

crafts, toys and textiles as well as handcrafted Christmas cards, 

wreaths, tree decorations and foodie gifts.

I have found lots of fab Christmas gifts 

around the £15 to £20 price mark. There is also an added bonus

you get to view the interiors of some amazing houses in the city.

You can download the brochure from the link ! Happy

snooping  shopping.
