Some would have it that dressmaking and
crafting is an expensive hobby, my blogging mission is aimed at
dispelling that myth. Sure, you can spend mega-bucks if you put your
mind to it: sewing machines that do everything except dispense
coffee, purpose-built sewing-room furniture, ironing presses, gadgets
galore (most of which are fantastic but not essential), and fabrics
costing a king's ransom. The good thing is that, with a basic sewing
machine, a pair of scissors, a tape measure and some pins, you can
sew up a storm.
This little bear, Bernard I've called
him, is a case in point. He's made from a piece leftover after
making the chemise top. The fabric cost 50 cents. So a top and a bear
for 50 cents. He's now on his way to add to 'Geelong Mums' Handmade
Crusade Christmas collection for distribution to kids in need of a
cuddly friend. Check their Facebook page here.
