Crafting going on
Jump to Comments

I’ve just finished a rather good CAD for Interior Design course at the London College of Communications.  It was five days of instruction in Vectorworks and it wasn’t half as boring as I thought it would be.  As it was a “bolt on” to my diploma, I also only had to pay a grand total of £32!

After a bit of a dry spell on the knitting and crafting front, I can feel my creative juices returning and there has been some activity.  I’m keen for my crafting to be purposeful, to avoid that house-covered-in-craft look.  To that end, the aim of my most recent sewing project was to marshall the ongoing laundry problem here at Chez Spitting Yarn(!)

This is one of two identical laundry bags.  As you can see, I re-purposed some rather natty 70s pillowcases which I got free from Freecycle, so I didn’t even have to do much sewing.  I cut out some bright yellow, felt letters and stitched those on, and then threaded some old hemp rope we had lying about through the top.

What shall I tackle next?
