Iโ€™m not sure how much #ScrapAlong2026 Iโ€™ll be able to do this year, as Iโ€™m frantically knitting blanket squares for a charity initiative at work! Here are a few that I made with leftover yarn before the new yarn turned up ๐Ÿงถ

For #SewAndTell this week the theme is BOLD - hereโ€™s my favourite Alexander Henry fabric, Fridaโ€™s Garden, as a much-worn skirt. I also made a sleeveless pussy bow blouse with the rest of it, and teeny bits went into a quilt #sewing
