March furtle

 So!!! How dud March shape up?? Pretty well thank you for asking! 🤣🤣🤣 March started off with an in person sashiko workshop with Kazue Yoshikawa in her atelier in Kyoto!!! I couldn't believe that there was a class on when I was there with spaces available too good to miss.

This was my Sashiko coaster, I love it! I now want to delve back into the 24 days of Sashiko project that Kazue put up during lockdown 

Coming back to in person sewing at home was great fun, especially when my weekday sewing group has such fab biscuits 😍

Getting back home it was a challenge to get back into sewing, getting over jet lag combined with a bug I picked up meant that motivation was low. That's where the fettle list comes into play! I knew I had to crack on with the marbled fabric top

Looking good!! If I say so myself 😊 next up was a fun improv block for my Siblings bee, now me n improv dint always get along but I did love making this one!

Ahhh yesssss this 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 hmmm ok Well this had stalled, I hadnt made a Dear Jane block for months I couldn't figure out what the problem was, then I was chatting with a chum and it came to me it's the sashing... the black was really beginning to overwhelm the blocks far too much for my liking 

So I unpicked 6 rows 🤣🤣🤣 I know I know, what am I thinking! But it's the right thing to do, for me anyway I know others may disagree there was a lot of debate when I first asked about sashing but this I th right thing for me

And fear not the black stripes already have a new purpose!!!

And a very late addition! My swimming group has a craft evening where we used sea glass to make pictures, mine isn't finished but I gad a lovely time and that's what it is all about 😊

Many thanks as ever to Archie The Wonderdog for the monthly furtle 😊
