Ah, the non traditional quilt look is care of stuffing up and then having to right it You learn by the mistakes eh.
The cowl, no pattern. Material is sitting length ways, (rectangle) then both long sides folded to meet in the middle. Short sides joined together and sewn in a circle (about 2/3rds) then pulled inside out and hand sew the last part. (Now if that makes sense your a genius. But I can’t think of another way to describe it!…)

I wish for your craftiness (provided I didn’t have to go within cooee of the sewing machine – my nemesis!) All I have made this weekend is a dolly house by cutting windows and doors out of a cardboard box – oh and a bit of baking

love the laptop cover – please show us if it gets some crochet decoration – sounds wonderful

I’m with you, Brydie, on the buzz of making stuff – it is very gratifying. And at least I know that whatever I knit, stitch or machine sew isn’t going to clog up my arteries or sit forever on my waist and bum – unlike whatever I make in the kitchen.
