I don't really know where to start if I'm honest, I've never done anything like this before! I was inspired by reading my sister-in-laws blog (Cat - ladybug) so I thought why not give it a go.
I have recently been bitten by the sewing bug, and was fortunate enough to be given a sewing machine by a friend of mine - this has now taken up residence in my kitchen diner, so now when ever I want to sew it's sat there ready and waiting for me. We are just coming to the end of our Summer School holidays in the UK ( I work in a school as a teaching assistant). During our time off ,my daughter, Natasha aged 5 and myself have designed and made a duvet cover and curtains for her bedroom. I got Natasha to draw some pictures for me of things that she'd like on her duvet/curtains and then I made patterns of them, before appliquing them on.
We were both really pleased the end result, especially Natasha, as she can now see her drawings turned into something special. We finished the project off with a appliqued picture of her and our pet dog Bumble the Golden retriever.
