SEWING CLIPBOARD!


Hello lovely blogging friends!

As you know I am on the DT for VANILLA SUGAR.....sweetly handmade! which is part of the BUBBLYFUNK online craft shop.  Caroline, who owns it, sent me some lovely Studio Calico papers to play with...you can find them here. 

As a lover of all things sewn I adored the paper with the sewing pattern on and used that to alter a cheap A4 clipboard!  While I was at it I added a little notebook & pencil....cos I am always scribbling down notes when I sew hahahaha


Ok...so who is going to show their age & admit they remember Family Circle patterns then lmao ???  This pattern was the first I used at school & the teacher thought I was far too inexperienced to use it.  I had been making clothes since I was 6 so I felt very smug when it was done.  Sorry no pics but it was in pink!!!!!  OMG...how awful when I think back now but I thought I was the bees knees hahahaha

Anyways...Caroline has popped the clipboard into the BUBBLY SCRUMPTIOUS E-MAG...how cool is that???  This e-mag has some amazing projects in it, complete with instructions!  Its so worth having a browse through them as they cover all topics & styles.  Here are a few examples...










I think I have put in a sample from each of the DT members...sorry if I missed anyone :(
Thank you for taking a look today and do pop over to this lovely e-mag for a browse, HUGS XXX

What a lovely project Karen, I've not got round to altering a clip board yet but its on the list. I am rubbish at sewing so although I vaguely remember my mother using all those patterns to make clothes for us, i never really got involved.
I often look at the emag by the way - very inspiring

What a lovely project! I remember my mum having some Family Circle patterns - I was usually dressed in hand made clothes as a young 'un!
