Hello everyone ❤️ It’s been a month and I’ve not had a moment to breathe let alone stitch!!!!
It’s been preset frantic with friends and relatives (mainly relatives!) in & out. We are also Motorcycle riding enthusiasts and have been on a few rides.
All this has left a bit of a hole in my sewing & creating. This project has been on my machine since last month and as a friends birthday is coming up I thought I would make a handmade gift as she loves everything I make.
The cord was lying in my daughters sewing room & there were lots of scrappy pink jelly roll pieces I used as she loves pink. Thus a mat was born. I have seen these on YouTube and was fascinated with how easy it was. It’s the twisting of the fabric around the cord that does my RA fingers in but one month later it’s done !!!!


Hopefully the coming month will see me at my machine a bit more 😘

Very, very pretty, and well done on not letting the machine turn it into a bowl instead of a mat – there’s often a tendency for these things not to lie flat.

Yes! I have a whole box full of narrow strings and a hank of cotton rope just waiting for a spare (yeah, right!) moment. Also a cotton rug based on the same idea, but jelly roll strips folded around a batting core. One of these days…
