I love my sewing! I love being creative. I love the fact that my kiddies or Quilty and Locky (my machines) dont criticise me, talk lies about me, lie too me, tell me Im stupid, steal from me, cheat on me, make themselves out to be something they are not, tell me Im doing things wrong, or made a mistake... blah blah blah!<br />
<br />
These kiddies are a true inspiration and great buddies.<br />
<br />
Happy Valentine's Day to this woman who loves being single!!<br />
<br />
Hugs and stitches<br />
Heather<br />
P.s ... Ive just realised that this is my first post this year!! Ooops sorry xx<br />

<br />
I hope you all had an amazing time. This year ours was a quiet and calm time 🎅 In all honesty it was really nice!<br />
<br />
Over the past few weeks I have been making many, many memory bears!! I think I am all beared out for a short while!<br />
<br />
Time to make new things and perhaps learn new skills!<br />
<br />
As we head into 2020 I already have a few projects planned and two Community projects in the 'pipe line'!<br />
<br />
I have a good feeling on my bones that 2020 will be a good year (providing it all goes to plan 🤣!)<br />

<br />
This past few weeks have been fun but busy! Being busy is something I like!<br />
<br />
I did a shout out on my <a href="https://www.facebook.com/HeatherMakesSewing/" target="_blank">#HeatherMakes</a> facebook page to see if any children would like to learn to sew! The response was amazing! Last Thursday was only the second lesson but look at the things they have made so far 😊<br />

Today I was in the newspaper!!<br />
<br />
The Tyrone Herald did a lovely write up.😍<br />
<br />
This is an absolutely fantastic write up. 😀<br />
<br />
I cannot stress enough how good sewing and crafting is for Mental Health.<br />
<br />
My aim now is to get sewing clubs into a few more schools!<br />

I made a toy snake a while ago.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
However Katie decided that she wanted a really, really long snake! I made him and Katie stuffed him, which I was glad about because he is rather long hahaga</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
He is 2 metres and 37cms long!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
He is called Sylis (sigh-lis)</div>

The Sewing Club at school is going grear. The children are enjoying learning to handsew, machine sew and cross stitch! I am totally loving teaching them!<br />
<br />
Today I took part in a fun sewing competition! I didnt win but I had a great time sewing with people rather than the cat hehe 😁<br />
<br />
I did my style of sewing as I just cannot get my head around the terminology of dressmaking! Learning 10 different languages in one day would be easier lol<br />
<br />
I made a costume for a child ... my girls love this!<br />

Memory bears are bespoke handmade keepsakes which are made from cherished clothing or blankets that belong to yourself or to a loved one.<br />
<br />
Memory bears are a wonderful memorial for lost loved ones or a way to remember special occasions such as weddings or events. Turning cherished clothes into beautiful forever keepsakes<br />
<br />
I made these bears for friends fro their loved ones clothes.<br />

Hello! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Such alot of exciting and new adventures going on here!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The past few weeks has seen me stand up, on stage, at my childrens secondary school assembly and gave a talk on sewing and how I was starting a sewing club at school. I asked that if anyone was interested to see me after assembly. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Well ... I got mobbed!! 😊😍😊</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I am now the proud 'owner' of a Sewing Club at Drumragh Integrated College ... whoop!! 👍</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Whilst getting the Sewing Club up and running I am organising being involved in a Global Sewing Party. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This is a month long party throughout the world. Its all about teaching children to sew.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Katie is a sewing ambassador for the founder of #sewasoftie. So ... Katie and I did 3 sewing lessons with her Classmates. Katie taught them to sew and I was the assistant!!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Even the local paper came to see what this global sewing party was all about 😀</div>

I asked Katie, aged 11, to draw me a simple drew picture so I could create a Halloween softie. Anything too complicated and it would of been much more difficult to create a pattern from the picture.</div>

<b><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">How To Make:-</span></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<u><b>Step One</b></u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Cut out all the parts that need to be sewn onto the body.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
(I photocopied martin Monster several times so I could cut all parts at once then cut the felt pieces)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<b><u>Step Two</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Draw around the body parts on each chosen coloured felt.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I did the blue body as all one piece as this made it much easier to sew together. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-nNmRiz6airw/W8uLU3C7KsI/AAAAAAAAE74/GhjcXG1Q6ccb8S-SlkP1lCxaDNXRz7ixwCLcBGAs/s1600/20181020_210555.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1421" height="320" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-nNmRiz6airw/W8uLU3C7KsI/AAAAAAAAE74/GhjcXG1Q6ccb8S-SlkP1lCxaDNXRz7ixwCLcBGAs/s320/20181020_210555.jpg" width="284" /></a><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-adJr6woSiO4/W8uLO-5DlaI/AAAAAAAAE7o/S1vSWYJhM1A5pd6jtT0UNGQ4OimzcxR2ACLcBGAs/s1600/20181019_095124.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-adJr6woSiO4/W8uLO-5DlaI/AAAAAAAAE7o/S1vSWYJhM1A5pd6jtT0UNGQ4OimzcxR2ACLcBGAs/s320/20181019_095124.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<b><u><span style="font-family: inherit;">Step Three</span></u></b><br />
<br />
Check you have all the parts needed (please do not notice that I forgot to cut out the tail!!)<br />
<br />
Now you can see all the pieces that you need to sew together and then sew onto the body.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_eMCNpMWr3Q/W8uLOnUUMYI/AAAAAAAAE7g/KjegTnOpbA0aR2NFeIRp7Wp-wU1qTpjfwCLcBGAs/s1600/20181018_172034.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_eMCNpMWr3Q/W8uLOnUUMYI/AAAAAAAAE7g/KjegTnOpbA0aR2NFeIRp7Wp-wU1qTpjfwCLcBGAs/s320/20181018_172034.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<b><u>Step Four</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Start to sew!! Any stitch that you can do is fine. There are no set rules here!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I did the hands and feet first, then sewn the eyes one.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I did all three layers of the eyes at the same time because the black thread would not be seen through the green and white once the back went on.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Then sew the white part of the eyes onto the blue body. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<b><u>Step Five</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Sew on any 'tummy parts' Again I sewed all three layers at the same time then did a running stitch around the big purple part. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I then sewn the tale up. Again I sewed all the parts at the same time. A quick running stitch around the blue, then sewn the green and pink circles all at once onto the end of the tail. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<b><u>Step Six</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<b><u><br /></u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I placed the mouth where it was to be sewn on, then followed the mouth line by sewing through the paper. the paper tears off easy at the end. just be careful not to pull to hard otherwise the stitches will be pulled too.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Sew on his teeth. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<b><u>Step Seven</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Once you have the front part sewn together, lay out hands and feet and horns where you want them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Pin into place or clip them on or just remember to stop sewing and place then in position when you get to that part of the body.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Katie decided at the last minute she wanted black lines on the horns!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
When sewing up leave a two or three inch gap to put a little stuffing in if you wish.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Once you have stuffed, them carry on sewing u to where to started.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I only stuffed the main part of the body, not the hands, feet or tail. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

I hope you enjoyed my very first tutorial!<br />
<br />
If you make a monster please tag me in the photos as I would love to see what you made from a childs drawing!<br />
<br />
Anyone of any age can make a softie. It does not matter if you can hand sew in a straight line or not, I can't!! I used a running stitch ... if you look closely at the photos, the stitches are running all over the place and not in a neat line at all!! Give it a go ... you will not regret it.<br />

Good Afternoon all,<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The last few weeks we have had a really good declutter of our home. Along with a few room swaps!! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
All I can say is WOW! I never thought this house could look so good.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
(Its a very odd lay out as its spread over floor levels!! Weird or what lol)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This weekend my kiddies are at their fathers, so I thought ... mmm sewing weekend will do me thank you!! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But no, James and Naomi (James' girlfriend) are heading from Belfast to mine to finish off the rest of the rooms!!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Oh ooo ... my quiet weekend of sewing out the window, but ... they said they will do it!!<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Naomi loves to clean and organise so she is in her element. I love to sew ... so happy days for everyone!!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Anyway, the point of this post ... as I was sorting out my stuff that was still boxed up from moving house a while ago (this is a very small house and I have, sorry had, too much stuff there was no where to unpack it too!!)<br />

Good Morning,</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The past 2 weeks we have had a big change about in our home. It is an odd house with many levels! Storage is very tight so most of our belongings were in boxes under beds, or children sharing a room that no longer suited. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The main room in everyones home is the living room ... well for us it was just a room that never got used. We are not ones for watching TV at all. Id rather be sewing, kids out on bikes or in their rooms chatting to friends, building lego or doing art! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So that great big room that ended up as a 'shed for bikes' or 'storage unit' for James' uni stuff over the summer, was a waste of a room whilst we struggled for everyday storage of what we used ...</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So ... we had a massive change around in the house! Its been a hard slog ...<br />
<br />
I have taken over the living room! Its lovely and bright. New sewing bench up which is lovely and high because I bought the wrong legs ... thats a great mistake haha Sew easier to work at!!<br />
<br />
The girls have gone into my old room, One of the boys into girls old room! Now means none of the boys are sharing. Also means the biggest bedroom now has cupboard and unit space for storage!!<br />
<br />
The new living room is now in the dining room, which is open plan, plus right next to the kitchen!!<br />
<br />
Love it when a plan comes together!<br />
<br />
Happy days ...<br />

Good Evening,</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This week we have been painting a room ready to have a big change around in the house! The aim is to create more space! My sewing station is now going into the living room ... sounds odd, but we hardly use the living room. We are not big on TV. Everyone potters around doing their own thing! The living room is the biggest room but also the most unused! Also swapping a few bedrooms anout too so the rooms suit the child and amount of 'clutter' they have!! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So, Caras stuff is in my room at the moment ... I spotted this on her whiteboard ...</div>
