been busy hand sewing buttons onto christmas decorations. i love hand sewing, its very relaxing and certainly keeps my hands away from chocolate! its my first ever year making christmas decorations so it's something completely different creatively to what i usually make.
the stockings and mittens are open at the top so could be used to put little gifts in either.
i took over a small table in the sitting room to finish sewing the buttons on the felt hearts. these are all finished now so its time to move onto the sewing machine.
my poor sewing machine is on strike. it won't pick up the thread from the bobbin for some reason,
