Red and Blue

A quick snap of some work in progress this week...

... lots of red poppies which will become brooches and headbands.

I love those blue Dorcas pin tins. I've got two of them, this one was a hand-me-down from my mother and the other (which is the same design, just larger) was my grandmother's. Very special things.

UPDATE: My poppy design is now available as a sewing pattern! Visit my shop to see all my printable PDF patterns

Bits and Pieces

A few things I'm making at the moment...


... cutting out pieces for white & peach cherry blossoms, and some bullfinches... sewing together some coal tits ... and embroidering some oak leaves.
