A Sneak Peek

I'm working on some new cushion designs and I just had to give you a sneak peek. They are hand & machine sewn,  I've used vintage button & trim so each one is different. These will be ready for my next market  (Modish Market) on the 28th of August.

So Simple Cushion

My dear friend has been hassling me to write patterns for her quilt store for ages now, well I just finished a very sweet & simple cushion cover pattern. It will be in her store in the next week or so but it's in my online stores now.
The cushion cover is for sale too.

My House

I took this picture of my House a little while ago. It's an original Hills Cottage built in 1930 as a holiday home.
We have done quite a bit of work to it but there is still a long way to go. X Kerri www.vintagesewandso.etsy.com

Quilts

Some Newbies from me, these quilts have bamboo batting, new & old fabrics. Some of the fabrics are re-purposed so the might be from a dress or a table cloth, some are vintage from my stash. The pink one is just the quilt top, can't decide on the backing.

Dessert Apple Tarte Tatin

Check this out. Tonight I decided to make an Apple Tarte Tatin for dessert.
It really wasn't that hard just a bit fiddly. I used a Donna Hay recipe.
They never fail.

Voila a Scarf (how to)

This scarf took me all of 20 min to make last night.

So simple to do, even if you are a beginner.
1st get a piece of fabric you like that is long enough to wrap around your neck with a bit of a drape and is about 40cm wide, this piece was an off cut (.70cents from Spotlight).

 Fold it in half length ways with right sides facing out you are going to leave a raw edge. Then sew with a zig zag stitch to close the seam. You can leave it like this but I added some trim.

Add some lace trim to the ends.

Then some pom pom trim a long the length of the scarf stitch this down with a straight stitch and Voila a very cool new scraf.

Burgers for Dinner

On the weekend I decieded I wanted Burgers for dinner. They kids wanted takeaway.
I think my burgers are better and we had a few spare kids so takeaway was out of the question.
