I’ve just realised that it’s the 1st of May and therefore Fresh Sewing Day, I’m not sure how it sneaked up on me but it did!
I started the month with the And Sew On BOM, this I think is my favourite so far:
After winning the Aeroplane Bag pattern I thought I’d better get on and make it:
Kids Clothes Week was on this month, and I had a productive week along with a few mistakes:
Trousers for Mathias, shorts for the girls:
and pyjama bottoms for Bethan and Mathias:

I helped out a lady in distress over missing bee blocks.
Again despite the chaos I’ve managed to get quite a lot of sewing done. Building work is nearing completion; we need doors and windows, more electrics and plumbing work, most of that will be done for us but we do need to paint the plaster work before we can put the kitchen in, I’m hoping that next month we’ll have made great progress!
Linking up with:
My you’ve been a busy bee! Love your scissors block! Jxo
WOW! You got a lot done! Excellent work! I love the bright colors and the fun, and I really wish I was more confident about sewing clothing. It would have been fun to make things for my boys this past month!
Just popping over from Lily’s Quilts to say hi. I love your pieced scissors – I haven never been all that taken with intricate piecing but I just may have to change your mind. It is a gorgeous block.
I am just gathering all the materials to make an aeroplane bag too. Yours is great.
And all that kids clothing sewing too. I keep missing kids clothing week. Juliex
A truly awesome month! 🙂
What a great month.
I am longing to learn to make some trousers for my little boy, but I never seem to manage it.
Well considering it snuck up on you, you done good this month!
What wonderful works!
