Christmas is coming!
And along with a photo of my sewing area, I share some of my "fabric and fibre" christmas post cards with you.
Mug rugs
Until a couple of weeks ago, I had never heard the term "mug rug" and I needed to ask some of my online contacts exactly WHAT they were.
Of course, living in a sub-tropical climate I admit that my thinking was slightly coloured by the need for cool drinks, so I was puzzling how to make a stubby cooler to fit a coffee mug!
I was soon set straight with Links to these mug rugs,
and after delving in my recently tidied fabric stash I was slicing, dicing and stitching like a Fury.
Of course, I only needed to make ONE!
But I ended up making ten, and have orders for more.
NOT before Christmas, methinks......my sewing room is nearly tidy again!
