I thought I’d spend some of my Making Friday learning how to make an animated gif of pics I took of this Cut Out & Keep fat quarter bundle that just arrived in the mail from Cloud9 Fabrics. Thanks to a video tutorial found on YouTube via Google, it took me all of 10 minutes …

Making Friday: Sat 26 Feb
Another Friday rolled around with no Making included, apart from the nice straight line I helped make at the tax office. However, as Friday was swiftly followed by the second of the Saturday morning monotype workshops I’d signed up for at Warren Editions , all was not lost.

So today for Making Friday today I got stuck straight in. I honestly didn’t know what I was going to do when I sliced into my fabric and started stitching some bits together, but soon …

Making Friday – 2 April
It was out with my trusty knife and signage vinyl on Making Friday for the important task of cutting… … a bag of oranges? Yes, for no particular reason I felt moved – a mere 13 days before leaving the country on a very extended break, with a To Do list spilling out of my …

Making Friday 26 March
Despite getting a late start this morning (thanks to a fabulously fun Critical Mass ride), my Making Friday seemed endless. I started out by making purses once again, after a little article in Thursday’s Times about the purses I made last week got me loads of orders. Thanks, so much, Audrey Nyathi! Then, I’m afraid, …
