SEW MY NAME

When I go shopping and happen to come across photo frames on sale I will buy and keep. It comes in handy when I have pretty remnants from my sewing which can be cut and sew to make decorative frames.

The ‘Home Sweet Home’ motifs came from the remnants of upholstery material of my dining chairs. I have just finished sewing it on the green cotton in just a few minutes.

The country motifs on the blue gingham were from nursery set which I sew for my niece. They suit my blue kitchen theme.

So don’t throw away the pretty remnants if you can cut the motifs to appliqué on a plain or gingham cotton. Sew with zig-zag stitches or just glue if the material does not fray easily. It makes pretty and simple little gifts too.

Have a great weekend.
