I'm preparing for another PTA summer fete this Friday and have made lots of little things to sell. I was originally planning on making some of Hadley's beautiful key fobs but as I was ordering supplies (hardware from MamaSheCrazy) I found some stripey webbing in another Etsy shop and thought that was an even quicker make! I got some neutral webbing as well to make pretty with fabric but as time was pushing on I decided to totally cheat and just use a decorative stitch on my machine to embellish them. They look pretty cute and I made a bunch of them very quickly.


I'm also getting on with the ottoman, it's hard doing all the construction after having so much fun making the top (I was going to save it to show until I finished the whole thing but I loved it so much I already posted on Instagram and then remembered I haven't shown it here - I feel terrible, like I've gone to the dark side. Sorry!). I used DMC soluble canvas to cross stitch this LOVE pattern based on the design by Robert Indiana.



Now a clever person would have thought about doing this before quilting but I didn't! So it was hard pushing the needle through at times but totally worth it.


Now I'm getting the side part quilted, in between working on everything else I'm doing. It's all straight line quilting but it's a long piece of fabric so I just do a bit when I want some easy sewing and then stop when I'm bored!

I need to write a proper WIP post and see where I'm up to with my Finish Along list so I'll try to do that next week. For now I'll crack on and try to get some finishes.

If you haven't seen already the Fat Quarter Shop are celebrating 11 years with a shipping sale. Hop over there and take advantage now!
