The Pin Master





Introducing my latest creation - The Pin Master

Always trying to grab a pin when you're sewing?  Never got them close to hand when you need one?

Grab yourself the latest sewing accessory and never be looking for a pin again!





Designed to wear comfortably as a watch, the Pin Master can be customised for each wearer.  With a choice of fabric colours, the dial reads "Time To Sew".  With pins for watch hands, pretty little buttons, and dinky scissors marking the second hand; this is my latest unique Cajame creation.





I've designed and printed the fabric for the dial myself.  The dial is backed by 100% wool felt which has been appliqued onto the cotton "watch" body by blanket stitch.  The back of the "watch" features my own Cajame tag-line - "Sewing my way through life one stitch at a time".





With a pretty little crystal (okay it's plastic!) button in lieu of the winder - this is a charming little pin cushion, both pretty and very practical.  Fitting perfectly into a watch box, it makes a perfect gift for a sewing enthusiast.

In addition to choosing their own fabric colour for the watch body (I have a pretty extensive fabric stash), anyone purchasing may personalise their Pin Master by the addition of a name on the dial, or by changing the tag-line on the back to a short message of their choice.

Never be stuck trying to find the time pin again!

Katy Bag

Today my latest bag design is going to my friend Kate for her birthday - hence the name. I hope she likes it! This is a nice roomy bag, with long comfortable handles - ideal for slinging over your shoulder. For the front pocket I've slightly gathered the fabric and channelled elastic through before sewing in place. To make the bag I used two half yards for the outside and lining, and a fat quarter for the pockets. To inter-line I used fabric cut from a bargain Ikea fleece blanket.... there really is no cheaper way to buy fleece - more than a metre of lovely fine material for just over £1! Of course, I've added my "designer" buttons. I'm still very much in love with them. For detail I've added a fob on one side, with a long fabric tie in a bow. With several darts across the upper third of the bag, the finished effect is slightly puffy. The inter-lining gives the bag good form and structure. The lining is a lovely contrast. I...

Shabby Chic? Definitely Shabby!

I did say I'd share my DIY disaster with you...... Brace yourselves - you may need sunglasses: Snort!  When I started the makeover I can assure you this wasn't my intention.  I had a 70's dressing table that was a nice shape, but a vile wood.  I thought I would transform it by painting it fuchsia to match my bedroom.  10 hours later (2 coats undercoat, 3 topcoat) it was looking good.  Until the top coat starting to flake off before my eyes.  I could have cried - indeed I think I did. Since then it's been sitting in the bedroom annoying me.  It's too heavy to lift out on my own, and anyways I've nothing else to replace it with.  The thought of starting to paint it again doesn't bear thinking about.  So in a DIY frenzy, I attacked it with wire wool. I think I got a bit carried away!  The result is something that gives a whole new meaning to shabby chic.  However, at least it looks intentional and boldly scruffy.  An...

It just fell in..........

to my Amazon Shopping Basket - honest it did! Feeling the urge? ......  Click HERE to "pop" to Amazon UK's pre-order page You know what it's like.......  see a tweet, catch a Facebook post in the corner of your eye.  Within seconds, you've "liked" it - and popped over to Amazon for a quick shufty (as you do).  And.... before you know it - you've added it to your basket and pressed the "1-click" (oh boy - but is that the best bit of marketing genius EVER).  Hey presto - you've bought another book on auto-pilot. Seriously though - I can't wait for this one! Despite now being a fully paid up member of the Sis Boom "Happy Home" Society (now there's an idea Jennifer!) - I now have to sit and wait patiently for it to arrive, as it's not due out for a wee while. "HURRY UP AND PRINT - DARN YOU" I absolutely adore Jennifer's prints and designs - and I just know this will be a "happy...
