Good Evening All....and Happy November!

Yep,its the 1st November already....54days til Xmas

and 4weeks til the Xmas fayre at the school i work.

So i thought I'd share with you a couple of stuffed

hanging hearts i sewed on the sewing machine at the weekend,

using a men's shirt i bought at the CS for a bargain price

of £1....i spent Friday evening cutting up the shirt,and then

cutting out 15x2 these size hearts & a handful of some

little hearts.

Its surprising once cut up how much material you get from

a medium size man's shirt.

Ive my fingers crossed these will sell at the fayre...as i

think these are

all year round decoration and not just for Xmas.

What do you think?

Thanks For stopping by hugs Clare xx

p.s I just want to add..this is my first fayre that ill be trying

to sell my sewing makes,wooden hearts....my last fayre i sold

my papercraft makes....xmas cards,calenders,raindeer food etc

so this will be a taster for me!!!!
