New (Liberty) Lengths!

Saturday's crochet workshop was a great success!

Crochet class Mar14

There was much laughing, sighing, and a few frustrated grunts at times! But at least there were no tears!  Sarah's 'knitter's hold' was the saving grace for some of our knitters! Well done ladies on mastering your granny squares and flowers!  It's lovely seeing some of them popping up on Facebook!

On Sunday, the only sewing I managed was to lengthen a pair of trousers!

Trousers lengthened with Liberty!

These are lovely quality trousers passed down to me from a friend, but they were too short! So I added some Liberty and ribbon to the bottom!  I think these will be lovely with some summery pumps and a wee cardy!  I have a few more pairs of trousers needing this treatment too!

And before the weekend was out, I got the binding sewn down on my gift quilt from Trudi

My lovely quilt from Trudi!

It only took the last episode of Midwives and the rather more delicious distracting Musketeers to get it done!!

Isn't it lovely! Just look at that amazing long arm quilting!  And it goes perfectly in my lounge!

Thank you Troods!

  3. your ladies look very industrious with their crochet, how good to have a group lucky girls. Trousers look pretty with the liberty fabric and the finished quilt too, lots achieved this week

  6. I could cry knowing that i have to wait till christmas for another midwives episode! Probably the best show I've ever watched! My uniform definitely isn't quite as attractive as theirs. Love the blanket!
