My first Noodlehead Yarrow wristlet. Great pattern & as always a great YouTube sew along with Anna which was very helpful in the last stages. Note to self 'don't be lazy, use a zipper foot from the start!' 🤦‍♀️ Hardware from Purple Stitches Fabric Store

Sewing socks for a spot of Sunday sewing 🧵Starting work on Yarrow Wristlet pattern

Next up is some visible mending. These socks are my nephew's favourite ones so I said I'd have a go at repairing them, though as often is the case I discovered more worn areas so they end up being more darning & less sock! My Formula 1 Mclaren mad daughter picked the colours.

The darning mushroom belonged to my Grandmother & I'm a big fan of Erin Lewis-Fitzgerald - Modern Mending & Collingwood-Norris methods of darning so it's a blend of the old & the new.

After a very long break I've started to get my sewjo back with a bit of mending.

This bag was a bargain from Target about 8yrs ago & I use it for my cold water swimming as it has a zipper at the bottom to expand it's size. I'm really pleased that I've been able to replace the straps with these bright rainbow ones as it will give me many more years of use! Webbing from my fabulous local sewing & yarn shop Stitchery Do
