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

Those tins are real heirlooms, I've kept my mothers as well.

my mum had one of those tins - I bet she still does. Must snaffle it the next time I visit!

Oh, those tins are precious (especially for their sentimental value to you)!

Family things are the best! I have several bits of sewing equipment that belonged to my grandmother, plus my other grandmother's old thimble and sewing box, they are all so very special especially as I spend so much of my life doing sewing-related things.
