This February, Bernina USA held a contest to make small pads for kennels. These ‘kennel quilts’ will be donated to local animal rescue organizations for use with cats, dogs and other small animals. The contest fell within my ‘work on my basic sewing skills’ goal for this year, and ‘do anything for animals’ goal for all the time.

This is @simplicity_creative_group #burda6334 peplum jacket in a double knit quilted denim. .
Ever unpicked lightning stitches in knits? Argh
.
But now it’s done & it will be worn plenty. I’ll stay clear of kitty claws when I wear it!

Happy Easter! Hope you have a peaceful and blessed day. .

I coloured Easter eggs yesterday & was missing my Ukrainian friends with their mastery of making colourful eggs! They all taste the same 🙃
I’m in! Something to ponder as I drink my coffee ☕️ on his grey rainy 🌧 Saturday. .

Are you ready for a quick creative challenge with no new sewing? 🤔
Your task is to design a “flat lay” of a garment you have sewn with some creative elements.
We have prepared one earlier ☝🏽
to show you what we’ve been up to! ☺️
Take a peek at the hashtag #flatlayclothes for some inspiration and see the rules below. 👇🏿👇🏾👇🏽👇🏼👇🏻
1. Anyone can enter. 👍
2. You must be a follower of @sewover50 and the three tags must be used to be included for prizes: #flatlayclothes #so50flatlay #sewover50
3. Your creative #so50flatlay must include at least one home sewn garment. Name the garment and pattern designer in the description.
4. The flat-lay must include at least three other elements: accessories, props...you surprise us! 😃
5. The competition starts today Saturday 20 April NZT and finishes midnight the following Sunday 28 April GMT.
6. Prizes will be drawn randomly, however one post that captures the most ‘likes’ will win a prize to encourage quality over quantity.
7. Go to our second post for tips. 👍

Dogwood in the garden at work. Makes me want to find a hidden bench and spend my day out here.
A little bit bright and loud? I don’t care because this just really makes me grin. 😁Second version of the @closetcase.patterns #kalleshirt in this great border print. Yup, broke the rules & cut this on the cross grain so the lemons 🍋 sit on the hem.
Plotting another but perhaps in a sedate white shirting. Or maybe a cat 🐱 print. 😉 .

Spring has definitely arrived. Everything is drowning in pollen but in spite of that we cleaned the garden today. So happy to see that the Lily of the Valley is multiplying, Phlox is spreading, Dianthus 💕 is blooming, and the peonies & astilbe are up! .
I’m whipped ... definitely time to sit. 🧵 .
