Owl

Powerful Owl. As seen in Canberra and borrowed from the local abc radio website just for my Brown Owl pals!

Sew before I went to Melbourne...

...I had some tasks I had to get finished. Bibs for Mum for the Granny's Pressie box. They are kinda small in the neck so newborn only - some tweaking needs to be done... The press-studs were thrifted - a pack of 6 sets for 50c, all fabric is thrifted, and I'm very happy with the result!



Then...


I tried my hand at some more selvedge stuff for my messenger bag (thanks for sharing the selvedge projects Jodie!). Using thrifted denim, I made a spacious bag which is still unlined as I can't quite decide what I like for this...

In the meantime, I wanted an apron for every day, and have to get a few under my belt this month for the sassy apron swap, so made this from a rather pink teatowel, and scraps from the peg bag I made for Mum:



Then sorted, washed and readied 26 pillowcases for the pillowcase quilt I posted about earlier! These are some of the more recent acquisitions, some of which are very lovely!


These are some faves that may have to be front and centre in the quilt, or left whole and actually rotated into use!


This last one is from childhood (thanks Mum) I love flanellette pillowcases when I'm under the weather!

Finally I have been soaking and laundering this hand towel that I will be sending down to Melbourne to the lovely Brown Owls for letting me visit the clubhouse while I was down! Thanks ladies!!!

Brown Owls

I have just finished sewing my name for my Brown Owls 'uniform', and have realised how much I love, love, love, embroidery! Cross stitch, etc has never held my attention, but the free-form of embroidery is actually relaxing.

I have been missing Melbourne lately, and can picture the Fronx as Pip so aptly describes the neighbourhood where we used to live and play. I hope I can get to a Brown Owl meeting soon!
