Things that have caught my eye #2.

~ Image from here ~

Things that have caught my eye #2:

* I nearly died when I saw Calico and Ivy's latest blog post - the are now selling Liberty of London bias binding! This is a must have for any Liberty fan who needs that special something to finish off a piece of sewing.

* Rachel, from My Messings, made some embroidered map cushions for her mum for her birthday. If you are wanting to make a gift for a loved one that has a deeper meaning, this is a very cool idea!

* I am loving this breakfast recipe.

* Tilly wrote up her results from her Sewing Productivity Project.

* I think this baby quilt is just beautiful.

* I had no idea you could make rhubarb wine?

Thanks for all you nice comments yesterday about me making the skirt and dress in a day. I am a bit obsessive when I begin sewing something, and can't really stop until I get it finished :-) Will post photos on the weekend!

Things that have caught my eye.

I have seen this done on a few other blogs,
and as a reader I really like it because,
I am able to discover blogs/websites,
that I haven't come across before.

Things that have caught my eye:

* Natasha from Samster Mommy made a DIY dress form using duct tape. I think this is a very neat idea, and a great option for any sewer on a budget!

* Claire posted her version of the Walk Away dress. I purchased this pattern last month and have been trying hard to figure out what fabric to use. I am very much liking Claire's choice of white.

* Caitlin blogged about a challenge all of us face when trying on clothes. Very funny and so true!

* I thought Shannon's Easter Bunnies were just the cutest thing, kinda makes me wish I had kiddies to make these for.

* Amy from Sewing Through the Motions discussed pattern inflation. Amy calculated that sewers have experiences a 2750% increase in pattern costs!

* Grosgrain is holding an entire month of free patterns on her blog - head over and check it out.
