Monthly Make 2011 - January

I have joined in Annie's of TheFeltFairy,
Monthly Make 2011.
~~~
Here is my first attempt with my new sewing machine
that I had for Christmas.

I know for some of you, this cushion is a
fairly basic item to make,
but I am quite chuffed with this first attempt.


It is now going to take pride of place on our bed.
~~~
If like me you have fallen in love with the material,
the design is 'Nest' by Valori Wells.
~~~
I am looking forward to seeing what everyone else
makes in their first month.

A Monthly Make 2011


Annie, over at the Felt Fairy has set up a group where everyone commits to making one item a month. The only rules are that you post the badge in your sidebar and post the finished item each month on your blog.


At the moment I am taking part in the daily listing club on Folksy with my jewellery making, but I thought I would like to give this challenge a go using other crafts.


Sewing - I was lucky to get a sewing machine as a Christmas present, so would like to attempt to make a few items. Last time I used one was when I was at school, so a long time ago!


Glass Bead Making - another present was a days course, so looking forward to giving this a go.


Crochet - Last year I managed to teach myself the basics, so want to make something with wool too.


If you fancy joining me and the rest of the group, pop over to the Felt Fairy and sign up now.


I hope to have something to show you by the end of the month!!
