Firstly I would like to show you this...

This was the elastic I had ordered last week. I had many trying to guess how much I'd ordered to win themselves a couple of my masks.
When it arrived there was actually 480 metres [needless to say a lot of it has already gone] so with a guess at 400 metres the lucky winner was Helen....I will contact you on messenger Helen so you can choose your prize.
I've had a really busy week making masks and am struggling to keep up with the demand for them but in between times I've also done some special sewing...
Meet Bun bun. He belongs to a special little girl who has Autism and her mummy asked me to make school uniform for him because he goes to school with the little girl every day. I really enjoyed this challenge. Bun bun didn't come with a pattern so I had to adjust the patterns I had to make his clothes fit.
I've been told that the little girl was thrilled to bits with him so that makes the challenge well worth the effort.
My next challenge was to make a cushion using fabrics from a wedding dress. The bridesmaids were pale pink and I was asked to use a little to embellish it.
Rather pretty eh?
My darling hubby has been turning his hand to more baking...this time it was two coconut cakes and a batch of apple cakes....yummy too.
Mid sewing face masks in top gear my sewing machine started groaning and on closer inspection I decided it just might be because of all this grot that I had to clean out of it!!
Yes I am rather ashamed to show you that it had got this full of fluff.
I have shown you my boxes filled with fat quarters before and it might surprise you to know they are very nearly all gone now on mask making so I had to order more materials....this is the first batch and I have more on it's way :-)
I love new fabrics. :-)
Now I've shared all that with you I'm going to show you what is actually on my desk this morning....yes it's a batch of 7 Memory bears. I cut them out first thing yesterday morning but had lots of orders for face masks so I am planning on shutting myself away in my sewing room today to make these bears.
...if I don't get over to yours til later in the week hope you will understand...but I will do my best.
Hugs,
