I'm watching a handmade journal class on Skillshare and now I want to make books I made a lot of mini books when I was home, I have them from holidays and days out and I'd forgotten how much fun it was to make and fill them.

I'm watching a handmade journal class on Skillshare and now I want to make books I made a lot of mini books when I was home, I have them from holidays and days out and I'd forgotten how much fun it was to make and fill them. I took a Bookbinding class several years ago at the local art school. It was really interesting and fun. I still have the portfolio that I made, but I've not done anything else with what I learned. Too many other hobbies!

JoP and lainey here’s another tutorial for the cosmetics bag. Very easy to insert a zipper. I’ve made around 50 of these in patchwork. youtu.be/TW9t0HTK_7EThe Crafty Gemini also does excellent tutorials and explains the steps really well.

JoP that's really lovely. It looks like a ton of work, how did you handle the yarn ends? As you went along or a huge task at the end?

This is going to be garbled a propos old sewing machines! The other day I scrapped a double LO, the first in maybe 3 years. I started looking through photos today to see if there were any I could quickly scrap rather than those that needed reams of journalling. I came across this one from outside a haberdashers in France in 2010. A good way of advertising what you do! There were loads of attractive and different signs in many of the villages.

I'm on a roll here. When I took the little yellow baby coat in to work, the girls loved it. One of them said that a girl in another of our branches is leaving in a couple of weeks to have her little girl, and asked whether I would make a pink coat for her from us all. That was my Thursday sorted! Well it was wet and windy anyway... I finished it this morning. Took me 10.5 hours and cost £2 in yarn. I found the buttons in DH's Nan's button tin, so they are properly vintage.

gillyp - Love those advertising signs! RedSquirrelUK - Adorable little sweater! The buttons are the perfect touch. I'm amazed at how quickly you whipped it up.

Wow, 5 pages already! I was out of town for work all week, and I am so far behind! As usual, lovely projects, everyone.
I don't have anything to share yet. I finished a baby blanket and hat last month, and I haven't started anything new yet.

Following these threads has given me the crafting bug. I'm using YouTube to teach myself how to crochet granny squares. I don't know what I'll do with them yet, but it's a start.

I'm using Drops Flora in Light Grey Drops Flora and then the pack of rainbow yarn I bought the other week. I'm enjoying the pattern so far

We are all a fantastic group of enablers and do our best to suck everyone in! Please share pics of your granny squares when you get a chance.
