Its a Wonder Woman print so little silhouettes of Gal GadotWarrior woman and the vikings are cool, the vikings especially so.

though I made it for the wife - the lining is bright red with little gold Wonderwoman logos. The unicorns was for a friend. Vikings and sea monsters were for me.
Very impressive!More recently I had a go at making my first solo wearable piece

Now I'm a post images expert...
I've been sewing on and off for a while. I've got an old singer, but picked up this for free locally. It's brilliant.
I'm definitely no seamstress,.but my wife is, so I've got help when I need it.
I love Toyota 😉
I've made a couple robust canvas shopping bags, 20"sq and tested to 30kg🤣
Rough and ready, but tough enough for Waitrose

My sewing skills didnt progress past a few Motorhead and Iron Maiden patches on my bike jacket.
I bought a big bag of black buttons to replace the unseemly white buttons on some linen shirts I picked up. There is no way it is going to happen, is there? So, I will die with a big bag of black buttons at the bottom of a wardrobe somewhere behind a rucksack. Nice to be certain of some things.

Put on some music you like, find a thimble, needle and thread, a pair of scissors and your buttons and shirts, and just sit and do it.
"It needs done, do it." is my adage for tedious mind numbing work like that.
Think how much better your shirts will look

I have been hand sewing little tea bags today out of muslin scraps. I've made four so far, but have six cut out. Could have done it on the machine in minutes, but I've enjoyed hand sewing them...mostly! They are a great pick up and put down project. Each one has a different coloured embroidery thread drawstring. Very natty and unique.

A couple of belts last week
Quality work as always Geoff. The couple of pieces of yours that I have will outlast me and still look as well made as the day I received them.
Halfway into a sixpack, I followed your advice, Renton. Now there are no buttons on my shirt.
Hm. I don't know why I listen to people.
Listening to other people is fine, listening to me, thats dumb!
