Photo Challenge - Week 16

A lot of the Sisters are having their quiet periods before their EOFY sales so not much has been happening lately in TSS-land. We do have the next round of the Photo Challenge to share though - a bit late but better late than never, right? This week is 'Our Favourite Crafting Tools'.

 

 My fav tool, the iPhone, how could I live without thee? Even feel naked going to the toilet without it, I can talk to the TSS girls, surf the web, order takeaways, plan my week, do my budgets, but most importantly I can quickly capture those stupid things my kids do do often

Amy - Independent crafter

 

My fav tool, my business could not operate with out my laptop.

Gill - Oz Handmade

Something I cannot live without are my crocheting hooks...they go everywhere with me!

Naomi - Made for Myah

 

I love my rotary cutters, board and ruler, I use these every day I sew :) 

Angela - Perigren Creations

My favourite craft tools. Teaching is a craft so I always have my pen, after all, it is mightier than the sword. My camera is also part of my teaching craft...I capture every moment of learning, either through the lens or in my own minds camera. :o)

Naomi - Ohana Trends

Here's my favourite crafting tool. Its a tracing wheel and it's used to mark patterns on fabric. You lay fabric, pattern on top, roll the spikes along the pattern lines & it leaves little dents on the fabric so you know where to cut! 

Kay - Trinity's Treasures

My favorite tool is my unpicker, because it saves my butt so many times!

Sharon - Lil Moo & Mee

Next week is "Something New" - stay tuned!

TSS Photo Challenge - Special Challenge Week

An interruption to our usual Photo Challenge schedule - tools will have to wait until next week because something much more exciting has been happening!

Over at our friends The Sewing Library they have had a May Sewalong in their FB Group featuring the Cluck Cluck Sew Sprocket Pillow. A lot of the Sisters are also members of the Library and saw all the gorgeous cushions being created and couldn't help but jump on the Sprocket Pillow bandwagon and make our own. Especially since most of us had it pinned on Pinterest already anyway!

One of the Sisters is going to do a Tutorial Review for the Sprocket Pillow in the coming weeks to let you all know how we found it.

Here's our versions:

Holly -  Or Elsie!

Jodie - Three Little Chickens

Leigh - Sakurako

Naomi - Made for Myah

Angela - Perigren Creations

Melanie - MelliMoo Creations

Sharon - Lil Moo & Mee

We have another Special Challenge week in the works but its not due until August so you have a bit of a wait. If you are keen to play along at home keep an eye on our Facebook Page for the announcement of what it is. We'd love to see your creations too! In the mean time, we will return to our regularly scheduled photo challenge and pick up next with with 'Our Favourite Crafting Tools.'
