Sew Special

Hello lovely people,

This week is fast getting away with me!  I like being busy but I feel like I'm keeping rather a lot of plates spinning at the moment.
So huge apologies for not being round to visit your blogs as much at the moment and I'll be popping round soon I hope.

Right now though we have a new challenge starting at In The Pink and our theme this time is...

SPECIAL LADY
Don't forget we want to see more pink than any other colour!

Our fabulous sponsor this time is Dies to Die For with a £10 voucher

I made this card for one of my sisters-in-law, who is fab with a sewing machine, and is of course, a special lady :-)

Of course I had to include my usual stitching on this card but thought I'd do a few variations on my usual straight line backstitch so I also did some wavy stitching and some zig zag stitching.

I have a huge stash of buttons but totally ignored them in favour of these die cut versions because I just really like the Kraft card against the pretty papers.

As you can see I managed to get a few more sewing themed bits and bobs on here with the scissors charm, pin and wooden cotton reel for the sentiment.
