I ended yesterday with a sense of achievement and six complete articles! First, I finished off a crocheted beret which I'd started the previous day while on a flight.
Next I got out the cutting board and the sewing machine. Since we got back from a recent camping trip I had intended to replace our plastic sponge bag with a larger one; from an old plastic table cover I cut enough good waterproof material to make two bags - so we're all set for next year's camping...
I'd recently managed to ruin the tablecloth used on the terrace, by leaving some candles out which melted next day in the heat, and had bought a replacement tablecloth which needed to be cut down to size. I'd also bought a second hand piece of fabric which I thought would be good for patchwork, but it happened to be just the right size for the table. A bit of cutting and hemming, and I now have two tablecloths for the terrace.

Finally, whilst I still had the cutting board and sewing machine out, I decided to have a go at a recent challenge from someone in my French craft group. She had suggested in July that we might all make a "little dress for Africa", and one of the group had already made one when we met in August. I can now add mine - made from stash materials so no purchase necessary!
