Really nothing to moan about!

I know my recent Mondays have not been the greatest, and I have indulged in a moan, but honestly, they have only been a little bit inconvenient, and I really should stop being so melodramatic!

When I got home from work today and found an Amsterdam-postmarked envelope, the contents put me back on track...

If you missed my post here, or Alison's back here and here, please have a look, be reminded, and if you haven't already, maybe invest some time into some do-good, feel-good sewing too.

I for one got down to a little #economyblockalong action this evening, and I'm hoping for a finish tomorrow, I just have the fabric collection and some Bee blocks to get under my belt first.  Fingers crossed.

Wiggle it...

Last week the wonderful Emily of Strawberry Patch Ramblings put up a blog post asking for help making Wiggly bags for a local charity and children's hospital.

I have seen these little pouches mentioned online before, so I am guessing that these useful little bags are used by children all over the world to carry their hickman lines whilst receiving treatment for cancer.

Emily posted a super tutorial, and some background info on this particular call for help.

I made these 2 within an hour, including choosing the fabrics and popping out to the shops for more tape midway through; they really are not complicated, and now I know how to do French seams, bonus!

These can be made with a couple of 5" or 6" charm squares, 2m of cotton tape, (which I think holds far better than ribbon) and a tiny bit of velcro.

What are you waiting for?
