Patchwork Fish Workshop at Treloan Campsite

Hi!
It's been such a long time!
I've been busy with my new baby Belle, she's great fun and crawls about playing with things.

Today I ran a workshop at Treloan Campsite in Portscatho near where I live. Here are the patchwork fish the children made! Aren't they fabulous.

We had great fun choosing fabrics and buttons for eyes, they even hang up on a string. Some of the children made little outfits for them too! 

Hope everyone is having a lovely summer. :)

Sewing Tuesday: Reverse applique spangly fish picture

Hi! First a quick update from last week's competition, SUSSEXMOUSE won the doodle monster puppet! Well done Marion! She named him Mr Bunting. :)

Now then, back to this week's project.

This week I learned how to reverse applique!

It's where you sew on to layers of fabric then cut the top layer away to show what's underneath.

I made this spangly fishy picture with reverse applique! 

Want to know how to make one? Your shape doesn't have to be a fish it could be any shape you like!
