I love a bargain, or trying to create something out of nothing (something I picked up from my thrifty mother). I have my chickens and my kitchen garden, both of these provide produce for my love of cooking. Basically, if you can sew it, make, grow it or cook it you have come to the right place. Follow me on my sewing/growing/cooking and making adventures together with some of life’s daily trials and tribulations.

Turn a quilted throw into a jacket and matching bag
So here are a couple of my recently completed projects. I purchased the throw for £6.00 and the jacket is lined with a fleece throw purchased from Ikea £2.75 and this is the end result.
The Pattern is Butterick 5532 but I added a bust dart, double welt pockets and the lining. I also made the collar larger too.
Although not shown in these photos I have added anarak poppers to it (in white) which finish it off great. I have to say I had more problems with the poppers than anything else.
