spring runner update

 

 Always show your workings out,

so I was taught at school.

Here is how I worked out Rashidas pattern for the sew-along,

one that Rashida herself is taking part in.

As I consider myself still a newbie to 

machine sewn patchwork

there was quite a lot of head scratching.

 My runner is based around the vintage flower fabric,

which lent itself quite nicely to the rectangular pattern. 

I think my runner is a fair amount bigger than the original.

There were a few erm mistakes,

like sewing one rectangle the wrong way round,

catching a fold of the patchwork

under the foot of the machine,

and as above not lining up the strips,

which wouldnt normally be such a big deal,

but I didnt want to cut the flower in half

when attaching the binding.

So yes I have been a good girl,

and unpicked.

(make sure you unpick the right bit!!!)

Basting next...
