Stitch - Sugar Nellie DT

Hello... late as usual!  I've completely reorganised the craft room today, thrown loads of stuff away, moved the furniture around (with Pav's help) and I now have a little desk for my sewing machine... I've had it for at least 2yrs, probably longer and haven't really got a clue how to use it lol, but I'm determined to learn.  And that'll be easier with a permanent place for it, instead of on the window sill gathering dust!  So expect to see some wonky stitching on my cards soon :o)

Today's card is for the Sugar Nellie blog, where we're showcasing Leanne Ellis stamps at the moment... I've used the very lovely Stitch.

Lovely card Lisa, love the image and fab layout. I bought a sewing machine in October last year and still haven't used it - it's been years since I sewed, so need to re-educate myself, you may see some wonky looking cushions on my blog very soon LOL. Have a lovely weekend. Hugs, Claire x
