Midsummer sewing

At this month’s Waterloo Quilters meeting, we had the option to make a multi-pocketed drawstring bag and at times it was a bit like one of the challenges on the Great British Sewing Bee. Some people were regretting their fabric choices, some chose not to follow the instructions and most were wondering if we could finish it in time. I chose to use an old pair of jeans for mine which meant I got two bonus pockets. We all finished our bags, but were very glad that no judging was involved.

My other sewing this month has been a major catch up on the blocks for the tiny nine patch challenge. These have been mainly done while the TV has been occupied by the football and I’ve managed to get over 100 blocks sewn and back on track.



Seeing as there will be more sporting-related TV disruption due to Wimbledon and the Olympics, July may also prove to be a productive month for this project.
