It's been quite an exciting week for me - in case you haven't heard, my sewing kit made the front cover of Sewing World and I'm designing two new clocks for two magazines at the moment.
this was my inspiration!
One is a sewing themed clock and (apart from the mechanism and hands) is a fabric clock, made entirely from fabric and stitching. I'm really enjoying planning the construction of this one! There is a construction weight fabric involved (at the moment I'm experimenting with pelmet stiffening which is looking good).
The other is a teapot and there's a little bit of mixed media going on with this one. Paint, fabric, maybe even paper with sewing and glueing involved. I can't wait to get stuck in (probably literally, knowing me and my glue gun).
In other news, I'm currently looking for people to interview for my tea and a chat with slots - there's more info here about how it works. I'd love to hear from you!
It's over to you - enjoy your Handmade Monday:
Sounds like you need congratulations three times over. It is certainly sounding very exciting! I can't wait to see the clock - sounds amazing!
ReplyDeleteGoing shopping tomorrow so I will look out for Sewing World! Can't wait to see your clocks. Thank-you for hosting Handmade Monday.

Well done on the magazines xx Do you send your work off to them or do you wait for them to approach you? Am developing some knitting and crochet patterns and am being nosy xx
ReplyDeleteThanks for all your comments. My computer has a hard drive problem - I have to replace the hard drive - and I'm currently using an old, very slow laptop so I'm going to visit your blogs as soon as my hard drive is replaced. Sorry for not visiting in the meantime, but it would literally take all day with this thing!
ReplyDeleteBev - email them with some ideas, that's what I did. Attach a few photos of makes or links so they can see what you can do. Good luck x
