A Saucy Little Sewing Box

Hello Saucy!

If you'll excuse the dodgy shadowy photo, I want to introduce you to this little sewing box that I picked up for £3 in my local charity shop last week; bargain!  She was hiding under a pile of old records, but I found her and discovered 6 vintage reels of Sylco thread nestling inside her tummy.  She has legs that unscrew and is as cute as a little vintage button.

The colours of the Sylco cotton look very Cath Kidston in bright rich tones that are a joy to look at.  

This little table cloth is only about four feet square and has a gorgeous design in pink with the coral red flowers and bright green stems.  So pretty and a nice little piece of fabric; I wonder who used to own this table cloth and if they set their tea tray on it laden with buttered crumpets and a pot of Earl Grey tea?

I hate making bias binding and so I bought the pink paisley and leopard print bias binding from a craft fair yesterday for 75p a metre; I love a bit of hab dash, don't you?  The beige gingham fabric is of a lovely heavy home dec weight and was £2.95 for a good metre at a charity shop; another bargain.

Hello Sweetie!

On another matter, today is the 50th Birthday of Doctor Who!  I may have let slip that I have a slight crush on David Tennant and have a life sized cardboard cut out of him in my loft; this may sound creepy to you, but I am very fond of him.  I shall be getting him out of the closet for the special
The Day of the Doctor episode on telly tonight.

Allons-y!!  Galx
