Not a bad idea @arpie i haven't thrown hubbies out also the plan is. Turning some of his shirts and jean into keepsake pillows.2

One of my nieces made a wonderful skirt from a bunch of ties .... it was flared (from the shape of the ties) it looked like a rock n roll skirt!2

I’ve taken sashiko stitching with me to a couple of my appointments and did on Wednesday when I was admitted before my surgery and had to wait around in between having the sentinel node imaging and hook wire inserted. On Thursday while waiting to be allowed home I did some more. It’s nice and easy to do and don’t have to concentrate too much.

Dear @cranky_granny,
Google 'quilts of Gees Bend' and you will sget to some sites with beautiful pictures and information about the quilting tradition of a community of African American women. Many of the quilts included old shirts and jeans.1 -

@Glynnis your right about Needing to take my time. Friend came over Saturday arvo was amazed at how much i had done. But then noticed I was showing signs of having over done it (recently retired nurse) So made me promise to give it a rest for a day.Now that i can get into the sewing machine I’m hanging to get some time to myself to actually start sewing.4 -

My Grandmother used to say, 'When the hands are busy, the mind settles down and your spirit can fly!' Two dolls, both done years ago. 'Strawberry Shortcake' and knitted layout for an antique doll, 2ply pure wool and pattern from Woman's Day about 25yrs ago.

@Beryl C.
The knitted layette is exquisite. I do hope that you have kept the Womans Day knitting pattern.
I was searching for a particular pattern a few weeks ago and came across a Patons Baby knitting pattern book. The price on the cover was 6p (that's sixpence in the money prior to decimal currency).
Remember £, s and p; or pounds, shillings and pence?3 -
Wasn’t it 6d? From £sd, from the almost unfathomable abbreviations for Latin currency denominations librae, solidi, and denarii.

We might all have some extra time on our hands to get crafty. My daughter is trying to teach herself to sew on my Mum's old machine (no point asking me - I resisted strongly) but unfortunately I don't have a fabric box and Op Shops don't seem to keep that stuff any more. Me - I'm intending to try knitting a beanie once I find a simple pattern I like.4
