On the Sixth day of Christmas ...Charity shops rule
cannot believe how lucky I have been ....another Charity shop another Singer .......sewing machine £15 ......Handmade Cristmas pressies ....Priceless...xx
I saw an old machine yesterday in one of the local charity shops, in the most gorgeous red oak cabinet I think I've ever seen. It was on sale for $250! Quite a difference in price between here and you, eh? Didn't see the machine itself, it was inside the cabinet. The treadle was also gorgeous. Have a great weekend! xo
I have an old machine myself. I have yet to use it. But I will, eventually, to make quilts. Anyway, I got it to replace a more modern one I had that broke. I just love the way they used to make machines. Yours is a beaut!

I am a qualified Textile Teacher but now I am lucky enough to follow my dream being a full time Textile Artist and I love every minute I spend creating in my studio at The West Wing. I am passionate about textiles and am privileged to share my skills with others.
I run workshops for schools, colleges and groups.
I work 1 to 1 with individuals who might want help with basic sewing or more advanced techniques.
Commissions are always welcome please get in touch with me to discuss your requirements. No textile job is too small .....:)
I sell my work through Etsy and you can find me on Facebook at Artymess Textile Art ...come and say hello.
Thanks for taking the time to have a glimpse at my world.

Come and visit my other blog ArtyMaker..I have been lucky enough, along with 8 other Textile artists to take part in The Enliven Project....a project organised by Eastleigh Borough Council....which means that we are working as artists in residence in local Charity shops ...we will create an outfit out of goodies we find in our allocated shop which will be put on display for a month. The outfit will then be featured in the Eastleigh music Festival weekend in July
Here is the facebook page ..with lots of pics .....
