Feeling like a quick crochet make would refresh and revitalise, after hiccups with a bigger project, I decided to start a little something. It’s so satisfying a way to banish the crafty blues; starting and finishing an item in a few hours.
On another tack, did you watch The Great British Sewing Bee last night? I’m loving it. Absolutely enthralled. It’s so good to have a crafty series on peak time tv, twitter and Facebook were buzzing about the episode until late last night. My friend and I were chatting about our faves well into the early hours. This usually turns out to be my reading time, despite knowing I should sleep I end up reading just one more chapter.
Another, replying to my “OMG wish I could alleviate clothes woes by whipping up a top for a do hours before!” (like GBSB contestant Heather) gave a lovely compliment: ‘I think if you turned your crafty skills and energy towards sewing you’d soon be able to do just that :-)’ It’s just starting isn’t it? I need to find an easy pattern to make an item of clothing, my first since a couple of pencil skirts at school!

oooh what did you make? Also loved GBSB last night, they’re all so talented!
Yes, they are all so incredibly talented! I love how they give you tips and advice along the way too. The only problem this year is that with more contestants I keep on getting confused by who is who!
I’m hooked on GBSB! I bought the book yesterday! Going to learn how to make my own clothes!
That’s great Hannah! I’m going to make a summery thingymbob sometime I think.
I loved watching Sewing Bee with Mum last week. It was really nice to be able to chat about it with someone who understood it. Mr P enjoys Strictly and can chat about that but Sewing Bee is a step too far for him!!
