Hey do read Kiwi Mummy Blogs?

I’ve been on there for a while and I have the honor of doing a giveaway!  Wohoo!  I have one of my new Hanging Strawberry Sewing kits to giveaway to some lucky punk, and that could be you.  You could sew up your own string of strawberries or give it as a gift to a keen craftsy type.  This kit is for a small string of three strawberries.

You just need to visit the giveaways page, over here, post a comment and you’re in, you have until Dec 11th, so get on over there!

You’ve seen my festive little Hanging Strawberry Sewing Kits already?  The kits come complete with all you need, including soft corn fiber stuffing, but did you know I make kits without stuffing, to save you on postage?  These are great little gifts, and post well, I will be listing them on Felt and Etsy over the next couple of days…

Of course, you can still buy the cool noodle box kits too!  That’s them up there..

Can you imagine some of these hanging around your place?  They look so pretty…

I will have these little treats available at the next couple of markets, the Gladstone School Christmas Market, Thursday 1st December, from 5 pm – 9 pm, address: 8 Seaview Terrace, Mt Albert.

And at the Auckland Art and Craft Fair, Saturday 10th December, 11 am – 3 pm, Aotea Centre, THE EDGE, Auckland Central.

Here’s my artists interview!  Here!

I love to get people sewing, it’s easier and more fun than some may think..  You can buy one of these babies from my Felt.co.nz shop.

It’s good to start with something fun and well, these will be quite festive too.  I’m putting together these sewing kits, you can make a set of three or five strawberries, and the good thing for beginner sewers is that makes good practice!

Like my other kits, all you need is a pair of scissors, the kit comes with the felt, stuffing, template, thread, needle and a couple of pins.  They require no tricky fancy stitches, just a little time.

I’ve used mine as a string of strawberries to decorate the house, and Luna has a whole pile to play with too…

So look out for me at i.craft.kingsland if you’re in the hood this weekend, or come to The Michael Park School Fair to see me… or any of my other markets (see over there to the top right..) or you can just email me if you’re interested.

Here are some of my newest little goodies, I have been working on them for a wee while and I introduced them at the Auckland Art and Craft Fair in December.  They come complete with instructions, pins, thread, all the felt and even stuffing and a needle.  Perfect for someone looking for a project over a weekend, if you’re newish to sewing.  You will learn how to sew blanket stitch, and you’ll have a pretty pin cushion at the end.  They are available in two sizes, just like the real thing, and in a variety of flavours.

I will list them on Felt.co.nz for next month and even have some new kits in the making for coming markets this year.
