It is officially the first day of winter here in Australia and it felt quite chilly today here in Brisbane when the temperature dropped to an Arctic 22 degrees.
Friends and family back in the UK are now swearing at their computer screens as spring is in full swing with highs of 15 degrees and the ever present threat of snow!
Anyway, being the proud owner of a brand new Janome Mylock 644D, I decided to make an attempt at creating a fleece jumper out of thin air and some bits of material.
With Mr Pickle in school and Jeremy away in the middle of nowhere, I was able to whip up a fabulous blue fleecy number that I will be 'Rugging up' in, as they say in these parts. I even had time to embroider Sew Rae Me on the covered button. Heidi thinks I have too much time on my hands now.
With this in mind, I am going through my very small stash of fabric to see what I am going to make next. I feel in the mood for some sock creatures.
