I made this today using a vintage dress pattern I bought from a terrigal market for $1. The fabric was freebie from my nanna. The fabric looks to be from the late 60s to early 70s.

Garden Themed Cross Stitch
I just finished sewing this for my mother in law. Yet to decide how to present it. In a frame? On a box? Book?
Corn
I just harvested the last of my corn and pulled out my silverbeet. I probably could have kept the silverbeet growing longer but some type of disease was starting to spread across the leaves. I can never tell what is safe to eat and what isn’t when disease and pests come my way.
The corn is rock hard so I’ve decided to keep some of the kernels to plant out again next year and make pop corn with the rest.
Seed box
I’ve always wanted to have a go at decoupaging. I think it can be done with some taste. This is my first effort. I thought about making this seed box for my mother law’s birthday and fill it with a few heritage type vegetable seeds. It should be finished in time.
Katies Baby Quilt
The brief:
Must not be bought.
So I used materials I already had to create this. I hope you like it Katie.
Seedling Tray – Preproduction Prototype
I got the idea from this website.

Outside Structure.
Corner construction. I looked at pictures on the internet on how boxes were constructed and decided to try this method.
The plank on the very edge will also ensure that the box stays square.
UPDATE: Randy and I just finished putting this together tonight. Just enough time to eat pancakes.
Ties – skirt section done
I’ve finished sewing together the skirt section. Have just started on the bodice tonight.
