It's that time of year..

..when everything I sew is either a present, surprise or something that can not yet be blogged about!

I have something I can show today though.
In anticipation of going to the London Fat Quarterly Retreat I have made myself a little needle book.
I used Amy's - Nanacompany - wonderful tutorial and pieced my initial on the back with a pattern from Patchwork 318 by Kumiko Fujita.

The little man has missed a lot of school, so I am doing my bit at home, in an attempt to get him back up to speed. We have lots of assignments that need to be made. But so far he is less than impressed by my teaching skills ha ha!

I can tell you it has given me a whole new respect for those of you that home school - it isn't easy!!

I'm off to whip up a few more home made Christmas presents. Don't forget to check back Monday as it is Sew Mama Sew Give Away Day!
