Mr Postman, is there a letter in your bag for me?

Actually, a parcel! I had written-off a purchase from Ebay that seemed to have been 'lost', until it turned up out of the blue today!

Look what treasures were unearthed, vintage sewing notions! Yummy. They'll go straight to the sewing space to make me smile.




This is a book of monogram stencils. Page, upon page of unused initials. Makes me want to grab the embroidery circle and start monogramming my linen!

Pegs, pegs, pegs...

I am easily entertained, and find it interesting that some of us like to keep our pegs in bags on the line, others in the laundry, whilst some lassies I know like to keep them on the line.

One such Seinfeld-esque friend got rid of a housemate who didn't comply with the house rules regarding pegs (!!). Anyway, I received a commission last week from She Who Loves A Peg Bag, and I was happy to comply.


So a visit to the previously blogged fave fabric store (unnamed as they are impolite), and I found the PERFECT fabric for the bag. I now love it so much I may have to keep it for myself...


35cm deep is perfect for her to rummage in whilst wearing the 75cm long strap over her shoulder. However, big pegs (for pegging jeans, heavy things, etc), need to be kept separate from the smaller ones. (Some of you people don't think about pegs like she and I do!!!)


Calico for the main bag, pockets from a thrifted tablecloth, handle reinforced with waist-band interfacing, trimmed with vintage ric rac, binding and buttons from my Nan's sewing basket.

What do you think?!
