I finished my gnome #FoundationPaperPiecing square today. #patchwork #diy #sewing the only piece I pinned went off centre 🤦🏼 I rarely pin unless it's something super duper important (like taking up my wedding dress). As it didn't require overlocking the whole thing was completed on my antique singer #treadle machine. She may be huge as I have her in a special machine cabinet and only stitch in a straight line but she's working well since we rescued her.

One of my summer goals was to learn #PaperPiecing #FoundationPaperPiecing it's very fiddly and time consuming thus far. I chose a pattern that is quite tricky but super cute as my first try. Will finish it tomorrow time allowing. Thankfully it doesn't require much as my sewing machine only stitches in a straight line (117ish yr old #singer #treadle ). Pattern designer is Made By Marney, be warned her website is full of so many awesome patterns you could spend hours just browsing.

So today I've completed one batch of #sewing projects (well once oh drops up my darning needle to weave in ends). I've made 10 #quilted bowl cozies on my 100 year old #Singer #Treadle and new overlocked which i still have a very basic knowledge of what I can do with. These are super things. You can put a hot or cold bowl inside these and then comfortably carry/hold said bowl without discomfort. I use 2 X 10in squares of printed fabric and 2 of wadding. The darts for shaping are about 2inch long
