Happy Birthday Liz!!

A few months ago, Liz sent me a Fat Quarter of cute 'tape measure' fabric. I have finally found a use for it -

I have made a case for the camera Bob bought me just after my birthday [the ancient HP, held together with gaffer tape, really was not working properly any more] Here is the new camera - picture off the Internet, because I cannot take a photo of it using it, other than doing complex things with mirrors!

It is a Fuji A100

We got a very good deal in Jacobs Camera Shop. the man did try to sell me a case for it, but I am not wasting money on that sort of thing [mortgage to pay etc etc] when I can sew my own in 10 minutes!

 

The HP now feels like a housebrick in comparison - this is so neat and tiny, and I am very pleased with the results. I love the case too - thanks Liz for the cool fabric.

It is Liz's birthday this week, so at last I can blog about another of my craft makes. I think it is important at sewing Club to make exemplars for the girls. So earlier in the year, I got some very pretty butterfly print fabric in John Lewis

 

And I used it to make a pair of pjs like the ones the girls were going to make.

I got a white vest in M&S for the top and embellished that. So that's going to be part of L's birthday gift.

 

 

Hope she likes them and hope they fit!

Sorry Liz, the other part is not post-able, and will have to wait.

 

 

Here's a picture of my lovely daughter taken in Budapest 4 years ago.

 

Hope I can get down to London again before too long - I miss my kids!
