Yep, I've been at it again. Can't seem to stop myself, can I? With crafting that is. I bought this lovely fabric, from somewhere and decided that the thing I most wanted/needed, was a cover for my sewing machine.So, I asked my bro', wicker man, to make me a pattern out of newspaper, which he did, with all the measurements and everything. Then, star that he is, he cut it out for me, both the top and the backing fabric (a sheet from a charity shop) and left me to it. I then decided that I wanted to pad it with wadding, and then I needed to do my first machine quilting. The lines came from the way I pinned it out and are not equal in width or anything, but I'm pleased with it.
And, it covers my sewing machine and keeps it nice and clean.
This is all I did all day, apparently. Apart from washing, drying, sorting laundry, making soup for lunch and pasta for dinner; took parcels to the post office, made some phone calls and did some emails etc. And, collected my assignment score from the OU and got a very low one.
Um, I'd best do some Proper work for the next one, then. And stop fecking about with bits of wool and fabric. Surprising what you can do when procrastinating, isn't it?

hello papoosue, and welcome! I am rather pleased with it myself (tho' the sewing isn't brilliant.) I am working hard at my next TMA, as I've got a lot to make up!
cheers, K xx
That looks like a great sewing machine cover! I have also done some OU courses, the fav of which was my photography one (I had a dream last night that they had created a level 2 photography, but I think it will take them a little longer yet!). I am going to have to go back through your blog and find out which course you are doing!
hi mimi, the current procrastination is around azx103, and I'm in the process of booking for A363 - advanced creative writing, following on from A215.
It would be great if they did the level 2 photography, wouldn't it. I started that one in its first year, but didn't finish it for some strange reason. Did you do that one?
by all means, do have a wander through my blog, anyway!
