It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas! I’m normally pretty much sorted with Christmas shopping by now, or at least I used to be. I’ve found less and less time each year as we get busier and busier. Covid meant time off work for most, but for us we saw a spike in orders…
Fantastically quick to sew, a set of these would make a lovely Christmas gift! Seriously, we’re talking a full set in less than an hour! I used different fabrics on the front and back and they can be used either way around. The size is based on the mats fitting our table either side of…
Last year I made a few folded star ornaments and a folded star wreath. The idea came as I’d been working on a folded star cushion; that being said, if you google it, I’m sure it’s already been done! That’s why I don’t tend to google things now! I see someone has already produced something…
With reference t the blog title… lots and lots, and lots of sewing! I’ve made 8 quilts so far this year, how I ever found the time I don’t know! Strained eyes at midnight trying to get to the end of one in order to start the next. I do love it though, the whole…

Played around with some new napkins for this years Christmas table. Whilst I love these and they look really cute, I do wish I’d used a bigger plate! I’m not going to change the post at all, but I do recommend using a larger circle. If you have a pin, some string and a pencil,…
Well, the weather outside is frightful… (completely intentional!) – So, I’ve turned my attention to Christmas/Winter projects. This is, of course, between doing all the regular jobs we need to get out of the way on a daily basis, so although I have several posts on the go, they may not appear right away 🙂…
As you can see from the main image in the post, I decided to use baubles and a charger plate to give this Christmas tree decoration a good home – As I went to take the main image, I found an old poinsettia in a bag which gives it a sparkle 😉 I really enjoyed…

What You’ll Need 12″ Fabric for the top panel 18″ Fabric for the bottom Scissors / Rotary Cutter Thread Sewing Machine Buttons or other decoration…
These place mats are super, super easy and you only need 1 piece of burlap and one smaller piece of patterned fabric, scissors and a sewing machine. All the stitching is top-stitching, making it a breeze to whip these up. We’ve added the Place mat_Template for you to download, but you can use any shape you like….
