LasT NighT

At Friday Night Sew In with Wendy & her friends over HERE I managed a few hours of ME time.
I started by preparing some bobbins... white, nude & cream.
Do you keep a supply on hand too?

Then traced out a... ssshh project...

And finally... got to PLaY with gorgeous fabrics...

Did YOU have some ME time last night too?... I hope so... as it's GooD for the soul.
Thanks Wendy for some wonderful company!

Looks like you had some quality me time. I also have a bobbin stash lol.... nothing worse than being on a roll & your bobbin runs out!

I always pre-wind a lot of bobbins heading into a serious sewing session.

Always have bobbins on hand as well...you had a good night,,,

Too organised by half Madam! I wind a bobbin if and when I need it. But I do have a little box like that full of bobbins which are left overs from other projects. All pretty rainbow colours. Not only that but I have 2 boxes - one for the Bernina and one for the Janome (they use different bobbins)

I am a slow learner.......I have only recently started a bobbin supply. Makes sewing so much more enjoyable.

What a good idea to keep a set of bobbins wound. Sounds like you got to spend some lovely me time. xx

Like the look of the secret sewing project! Can't wait to see what you are making.

I don't usually wind on multiple bobbins and then when I run out in the middle of a seam, I am hit with that "duh" moment when I realise I should be winding multiple bobbins.....always!! I am liking the look of the shhh project.

You managed a bit of variety in your evening, Cheryll. Satisfying time for you.

That Christmas fabric looks rather yummy. Evev though I do not use my sewing machine very often I do like some bobbins prepared in advance like yourself. Nothing worse than being on a roll with a project and having to stop to wind a bobbin!

Karen said...

Yes, I do keep a bobbin supply on hand.After many years I have realised I do only need a handful of colours to cover most of my sewing.
That little birdie is gorgeous. And the fabric is yummy - and it has spots!!
Looks like a great night of sewing. Hope you kept warm!
