Fresh from the workshop

Giant Scissors anybody? I love some of the oversized buttons and textile based wall hangings available and in true crafter fashion decided ...I can make that. So in my little garage I created these...

48cms long x 24cms when closed made from pine to wax or paint however you would like to decorate them and ready to hang. If you would like a pair of your very own, go and have a look at my etsy shop where you can get some, either for yourself or that friend/relative who loves sewing and has everything else!

Design a Christmas Stocking Competition

Here is your chance to have your very own Christmas Stocking made that you have designed yourself!

Starting from today I want you all to start thinking Christmas, I know its only October but you know what happens, it creeps up on you without you realising what has happened.

You have from now until the 1st of November to design your very own Christmas Stocking. When you have designed it complete with any little pointers regarding decoration you then send it to me at scissorsncloth@rocketmail.com. On the 2nd of November the lucky winner will be chosen and their design will be translated into a fabric work of art just for them! The first prize will also include a few textile type pressies in your stocking.

So get your thinking caps on and get designing! I cant wait to see your fab designs.
