Pieces of chicken

The first series of the patchwork course i'm following is almost finished and the last piece we're working on is a chicken! This was the thing i was most looking forward to to make!

The potholders were a bit old-fashioned and the second thing is some sort of  patch that can be part of a blanket or a pillowcase but not really finished like it is now..

But this chicken will be something to be proud of :)

 

I didn't choose the fabrics myself, the teachers gave us a bundle. But i'm planning on making a second chicken with fabrics i prefer. They could be worse although bf says they're outdated..

 

My friend & me are having sewing sessions in between cause we can't keep up with the older ladies!!

I will miss these creative afternoons once the course ends but everyone is positive about a sequel and if not we can always start a monthly patchwork group or something...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Craft it forward!

Some weeks ago i saw on Claudia's blog she was looking for people to play this Craft it forward with... I'm always in for some creativity so i commented & some days ago i got mail from her!
She made me this lovely christmascard, gifttags, a cool pin, a selfmade enveloppe & one of her christmas stars! Thank you so much Claudia! All this will be used with great pleasure :)


Now it's my turn to continue the game. I will send something handmade to
the first 5 who leave a comment. Just tell me that you want to participate.
After you get my surprise, you have to post about it and pass it on (send
something handmade to the first 5 who comment). It can be anything (something
sewed, painted, felted, a photography, anything you like), as long as it is
handmade by you and sent out before the end of 2012.

Who's in for some handmade creativity?
