For anyone worried about the flowers, I've found s For anyone worried about the flowers, I've found some more patterns to cut up when I can grab a few mins for my #sew365projectlt This should keep me going a while 😂. Note that the top one is far too big, so I shrank it by 50% (see top right) but I'd like to try making a few big ones if it for decorative purposes outwith the quilt project. #sew365project

You'd have thought, in the sea, that they'd be rounded in some way, but nope, they were pretty spiky! #plettenbergbay #gardenroute #westerncape #southafrica #migrationmonday #migrationmondaylt #travelphotography #canon20d #mycanon #canonuk
Today I shall be quilting all the things. All the Today I shall be quilting all the things. All the cutting and fusing is from the few minutes each day that I got to grab for my #sew365projectlt this week, but since that was in the evening in the dark I stored it all up for one exciting (?) photo today... #sew365project
My #sew365projectlt is taking a small diversion th My #sew365projectlt is taking a small diversion this week while I fuse all the things for a rather ridiculous pair of batch-makes (because when you're going to all the trouble of making 1 of a thing, why not make 4 or 5? 🤦). By breaking it into small chunks it's making it feel a bit more bearable! #sew365project

Today's floral experiment for my #sew365projectlt Today's floral experiment for my #sew365projectlt (while waiting for the PVA to try stiffening the other flower) was the first of my big printed out pattern flowers. I love the size this rose came up, and I can see a bunch more of these in my future. Next pic is for scale against one of my wee 'cherry blossoms' #sew365project
So for the #sew365projectlt today I tried going ba So for the #sew365projectlt today I tried going back to the problem Sizzix die from the other day. I think the main problem is that the felt's flat, so I need to work out how to curl it like the paper in the image on the die cover. Has anyone got any experience trying to mould acrylic or polyester felt? I've found suggestions for stiffener made from a PVA glue solution, but I'm not sure whether to apply it, let it dry, then cut and shape it, or to put pieces already cut into the solution, then mould it as it dries - thoughts? #sew365project
