A special Christmas gift finished

Last Christmas I had an unexpected gift from my sister's and Mum. It was a sad piece of fabric screwed up in a box. It had come from the top of an old ottoman and was the last remaining from dresses our Mum had us 3 girls for uncle Rod and aunty Rose's wedding back in 1974/5  over the years there had been many a joke, I told everyone(being the youngest) that I wore it for years. But the best was the fact it looked like curtain fabric

Experimental

My practice of different ways to create a crackle effect.  PVA glue, crackle accents and rock candy failed.

That was quick

I hadn't intended to finish them so quickly but I'm not complaining. So nice to sew for a change. Just need to decide what I do with them next.

Gingerbread men

Another project started at last.

Da tah!

My first sewing for me in quite a while. Not perfect but a good exercise.
