The Ruffle Scarf

Knitted with the coolest yarn ever, Patons Pirouette, these ruffle scarves are so pretty!

Colourful Patchwork

What to do with a pile of old clothing that isn't even worthy as hand-me-downs?

  Cut it all up and make it into a colourful machine-stitched quilt!  This quilt is made from

 old t-shirts, pajamas, sweaters, sweatshirts, pants, a tea towel and the odd fabric scrap.

  The result is a heavy, warm patchwork of colours with various textures and lots of memories!

Monster Tooth Pillows

When your child is expecting a visit from the tooth fairy, have some fun by placing the tooth

 in the monster's mouth.  When morning comes, a cash surprise in the tooth's place!

Ironing Board Cover

I have had the same ironing board cover for over 20 years.

  Needless to say, it was looking pretty hideous!

So I whipped up a new one in the sewing room ... so much nicer!

Tiny Stuffed Valentine's Pins

With Valentine's Day just around the corner, I decided to sew up some cute little 

heart pins using recycled clothing.  It's a great feeling to "re-purpose" some old clothing,

especially when it's made with really cool fabric!

Campbellford Dressmaker Hard at Work

This week I was busy in the sewing room with a couple of summery dresses that

 will soon be off to a sunny destination.  My client will look so great

 in these fresh, cool dresses....

 she'll be sizzlin' in the Caribbean!

First, a blue sundress:

And a floral print halter dress.  

And the back...

These dresses make me long for a warm summer day!
