Sewing: Doona Cover
July 22, 2010 by sunrisesister
I havent done much sewing of late – getting the machine out, setting it up, threading it, blah blah.. yeah, by the time that happens, the baby’s nap is over, and the window of opportunity is closed. So this was a super-fast project, and finished just in time for baby’s next nap..
We bought her a winter doona (quilt, for you non-aussies) while we were up at the Sheep show from the lovely people at this aussie wool quilt company. But, none of the covers we had for her Ikea quilt fitted. So I dug out an Ikea fabric remnant that I had picked up last year for a few dollars, and whipped one up:
A perfect fit! No cutting required
Very pleased…Category catching up, family, sewing | Tags: | Comments Off

This yarn was a great find in the BWM Bargain room.. 12 ply handwash pure wool, in a lovely greeny blue. It got cast on the same day
Not a bad fit. Glad I didnt make the smaller men’s size. Hmm.
Pattern: Yarnman Knits Regular Guy Beanie
Sticks: 5mm
Yarn: BWM 12ply (Similar to Rustic, I believe)

Bendi 2010
July 21, 2010 by sunrisesister
We went to Bendigo! A big group of us stayed at the same place as last year, this time taking up 3 houses instead of the 1 and retreat! We were there for the Australian Sheep and Wool Show which was fabulous and even more busy than last year.
So busy, in fact, that I think I took a grand total of about 10 photos
However, there was yarn buying! woohoo!
So many great finds, and some lovely surprises. I even got a (very affordable) swift and some blocking wires too. Stoked. I had some great scores in the BWM bargain room, including some 12ply and some undyed cameo which has a touch of lovely fluffy angora.
And we even had a Dagwood Dog for Kelli xx
