My DIY Projects

These are all the products I've made since I retired at Christmas 2013. The memory bunting products were designed around my college friend's interests and made for their 60th birthday. Other products have been made for friends and family as presents. Recently I've been making cushions for my home and fairs. I've now moved on to smaller items such as the sewing kits and needle cases. This year (2016) I've started knitting again. These are pictures of the newborn beanie hats I've made.
