Second time lucky

    On Sunday I will be doing a vintage and craft fair which is the second one that I will have done however the first one was a complete and utter waste of time as it wasn't advertised at all and hardly any one turned up and many people left early without making a sale at all!! I asked the person who runs it for my money back and she went on this massive rant calling me a child and saying that I didn't know what I was talking about. So that didn't end entirely well however, the company that I have gone with this time is much more experienced and well known, unfortunately this means that a table at one of their fairs is slightly more expensive however, I know that there is a chance that if my stuff is good enough that I can make my money back.
   So any way see you there hopefully on the 29th of July at Fat Cats bar in stoke on trent Hanley! :)

Abakahn

I went to Abakahn a wool and fabric shop in Hanley the other day to get some fleece because it came to my attention that Pipin loves it so I have made her a little bag to play around in. Whilst I was in the shop I noticed that they sell bags of machine thread for £5 so I bought one here's what I got in it. Not bad hey?? Next to it is the fabric that I chose, I went to the market in Hanley first but they only had a red tartan fleece material and I didn't like the look of it tbh.
 
Here is the finished product I was going to make a tutorial but I didn't measure or make it that neatly and I ended up going to A+E in the middle of making it up because I managed to sewing machine through my finger :/.  

Second ever commission:

I got asked by one of my uni mates to knit her a rose for a cardigan that she has she wanted a brooch so that she could pin it together because it didn't have any buttons here is the finished object:




Here is the back showing how I attached the pin and what pin I used:

Day 27- How do you acquire most of your yarn/ vintage show

Most of my yarn is from either charity shops in Cannock or Lichfield or from the market in Cannock if I have to make a special purchase I always look at Kemps wool shop on-line first:  Kemps I don't know how they manage it but they always seem to have what I want on offer !

Here are the pictures from the vintage fair that I went to at the Fat Cat Club in Hanley :
