Woyww

 Happy hump day and What's on your workdesk Wednesday where we share via Julia's blog (link over on the right). This week my workdesk is actually my dining room table. 



Hubby finally found a replacement Harrington but when it arrived the inside pocket hadnt been sewn up! It took him so long to find the waterproof version rather than returning it i decided i would fix it myself, hence the sewing machine!! I did notice the pockets were only sewn with straight stitch at the bottom so to add a bit more strength i did sew a zig zag so am hoping this lasts.


No 'man bites dog' cards this week (forgot) but i also did a little sewing in the garden!! Admittedly it was stringing up my homegrown chillies for drying!! The pin cushion was a gift a few years back from Lunch lady Jan and still going strong! 

So, what's on your workdesk this Wednesday?

  2. I also have no idea what a Harrington is, but I like the clever way you are drying your chili peppers. You are truly a great seamstress. Happy WOYWW from # 5.

  11. Well I’m not surprised that finding a Harrington wasn’t completely plain sailing, disappointing about the pocket though. Think you did the right thing, might never have seen it agin if it had had to be returned!
    Love the sight of those lovely red chilliest being strung, what a satisfying job!
