Another Christmas make for you this week. This time we’re making a reverse applique Christmas table mat, or runner. Before you go off and watch the video, I just wanted to point out that if you don’t intend on placing hot items on the mat, you don’t really need the wadding. I’ve added it to…
. In this weeks Youtube video I’m making no-noise Christmas crackers! I love the idea of these, they’re wonderful if you have someone in your family who can’t tolerate loud noises. We don’t want anyone to be over-anxious on Christmas day! That added noise of additional family members is enough. This is especially importanif the…
Whoop! Whoop! New candle mat tutorial is finally online! I’ve bene wanting to revisit this since I completed my first Youtube video two years ago! Also, I can’t believe the Youtube channel is almost 3! Crazy. Fabrics and Tools Used Free Template Print on A4 paper at “100%”. Transcript I provide the video transcripts so…
Hello! Here’s the first of my Christmas posts for this year. I played around a little in order to get the pattern right – it was too small, then the heel was too big, the toe too small… anyway! I got there in the end. These use very little fabric, you’d easily get 5/6 from…
Hi everyone. I was uploading this weeks video and remembered a couple of comments from people who prefer to watch in silence. As there are no instructions on the screen, they had to have sound up. My solution, at least for some of the simpler videos, will be to add a text walkthrough on the…
Hey! This week I drafted 4 different versions of this stocking trying to get it just right – the first came out absolutely gigantic! Would have taken a bank loan to fill it with gifts. I’m adding a large version and a fat quarter friendly version so you can decide which is best for you….
We’ve added another video this week – this fabulous twisted fabric wreath! I LOVE LOVE LOVE crafting and creating for Christmas. It’s my favourite time of year. Yes, I’m aware it’s only August, but… crafting/sewing takes time, so we start early! I made this same wreath about 5/6 years ago and it’s still on the…

If you’re sewing this up for someone else as a gift, maybe add it to a little basket with the ingredients to create a lovely,…
I’ve been meaning to sew up a Christmas tree skirt for the last few years, but never get around to it! By the time I’ve enough spare time to do anything new the presents are all exchanged and we’re left with a full tree base! We’re so spoilt by our lovely friends and family. But…
I made paw shaped stockings last year for two gorgeous cat furiends, Clawde and Pawsha. Unfortunately Pawsha, like our Smudge, passed over the rainbow bridge this year. Both taken too soon and both missed so very much. There are now two additions to Clawde’s family, and one to ours, and it wouldn’t be right for…
