Saturday pottering

Today I wanted to clear everything off my weeks to do list so I could start a new week afresh...but its far too hot so I haven't!!! Tomorrows another day.
Instead I have been printing off orders (thank you lovely customers), ready to pick and pack tonight when it is cool,  and browsing the www.....catching up with some of my favourites blogs and sites from the days pre Patch when I had more time....and reading some new ones that I have discovered....I don't want to keep all the goodness to myself so from now on I shall be bookmarking things I find, and gradually sharing with you. Things like tutorials and inspirational ideas for crafting...
First up is a new tutorial by Flossie Teacakes for a Happy Morning Hair Accessories Board...a genius idea that any of you mums with girls are sure to find useful..you can find it here...
This is a great example of a project that only takes a small amount of fabric ( a fat quarter would be ideal).
I have purchased the pdf so hope I have something to show you very soon.(and if you are family or a friend of mine with small girls...this is a gift you could be receiving soon lol!!)

I have also rediscovered the Ottobre site..a magazine available on subscription, but available on their site are pdf's for small projects - I like this one for a young boys tie..you can make from any fabric you like to match your outfit for an event perhaps.....

Lastly, if you only have time to read one blog this weekend pop over to Birgitta Designs....
Birgitta, if you remember, did the fab shirring tutorial I blogged about earlier and is writing regular tutorials for her blog and for The Sewing Directory.  Today, she has added a fantastic blogpost all about moi!!! The start of a regular series of posts introducing fabric sellers...I was thrilled to be asked and Birgitta has certainly done Patch proud :-)
Don't forget to leave Birgitta a comment for the chance to win a Patch Ribbon Pack too.
