Ain't no draught about this Creative Space

I just SO LOVE IT when a friend rings you up and says 'hey could you make this for me?'

In this case, twas a 'draught excluder' (which I did have to google to find out exactly what that was eep!)

I started off recycling the calico squares we use on repeat at sewing school and I patched them together to make skinny tubes (draught excluder now turned into 2, plus an extra for ..well...extra). I then filled them with rice (thanks Jen & MC for the sack).

I then sewed together the outer inner tube with more calico scraps, which I then filled up with...more calico scraps (they're nice and heavy)- SCRAPTASTIC YA!

I used ye ol faithful grey woolly blankets, and a cosy off cut from the bottom of my scarf...I nipped it off as soon as my friend said she liked orange & blanket stitched the joins with blue as navy blue was her second colour in mind.

 It is so very nice to make for friends, not just for gifts as I always do, but for when they ask and challenge me into making new things, I am stoked they are dipping in to my creative skills! 

This weeks creative space was pretty busy with a mountain of things (sorry mum & mums friends the bags are all nearly done!)....but this is the only thing finished haha!

Have a peep over here into other fellow crafty creative spaces. It's always very inspiring.

Oh and while we are on spaces, crumbs Trinity St Loft has just got err hip!?

A new Facebook page even - with oodles of pictures of all recycled stuff.

Head on over here if you like, then like it if you like :)

Happy Thursday you lot!
