.: lattes, threads and a jar of Vegemite :.

Term 2 of school started this week up here in Queensland, so we've been busy getting back into the daily routine that that brings.  

I've made a couple more lattes-to-go, from the excellent paper-piecing pattern created by the talented ladies behind Sew-Ichigo.  I love this pattern so much, it is so fun to choose fabrics for each latte.  And I love how each latte can be personalised to suit the person it's made for.

First up is a latte coaster for a friend's birthday - no surprises in guessing that she is very musical. 

{{very happy to sew with Amy's Geekly Chic records fabric!}}

And next - for a friend who creates amazing knitted and crocheted garments and goodies.

{{love the knitty fabrics}}

Amanda Jean from Crazy Mom Quilts, released her thread-catcher pattern earlier this week.  I couldn't wait to sew up a couple.  The little one - using Amy's mixtapes, available from her Spoonflower shop - and a pezzy print, is the actual size of the pattern.  It's so tiny, and will be perfect sitting next to my machine to catch all the threads that currently float randomly to the floor. 

.

The larger one is to catch scraps at my cutting table - I just extended the pattern a little higher and wider, to accomodate using some precious Heather Ross scraps.  The surrounding fabric is Essex linen in flax, and the lining is a fabulous writing print I just got from Hawthorne Threads.

.And now - the jar of Vegemite for a size comparison.  It's the massive 600g size, not the titchy tiny jar ... just so you know. 

Hope your week has been a good one.   xoxo cat
