Spring Cleaning - Part 3 and Final

Look what I found!
I have been looking for these 3 spools of thread for ages! They belong to an old overlock machine which have long been kaput!

When I found these during the spring cleaning, I was just so happy. But they were dusty and a little stained from the years of "hiding" (wrapped in a plastic bag and forgotten !). Decided that they needed a little makeover. The top spool was the original.


This is the final result - I think they look sweet. Now I don't have to buy white thread for a long time to come. For convenience, I also made a small pincushion as the flower centre. My eldest sister came for a visit and she took the red one so now I am left with the other 2.



Also found lost bags of scrap fabrics, lace and several zippers.

Decided to make cute macaroon purses - learnt to do this from a tutorial in my "Handy Tutorial" pinterest board.


Wanted to try patchwork for some time so it was a good opportunity to try to make some patchwork table mats. These 2 are my very first patchwork projects. Will definitely try to make some more later.


Well, that's all for the spring cleaning project. Found some other (long lost) things as well. Will show them when I am finished with their makeover.

In the meantime, wishing all my dear readers, Happy Crafting and a wonderful week ahead!  Cheers!!!
