April showers bring May flowers -- so true! I have tulips, pansies and daffodils growing happily in my garden, along with some stubborn but happy dandelions and other 'pretty' weeds. I have planted a salad mix, parsnips, rhubarb, a tomato plant and have two types of chives growing. The potatoes will be planted next week I think and I will also plant the carrots, green beans ad beetroot. This time last year we had a hosepipe ban then it rained every single day for 4 months so I wonder what this year will bring?!!
So? What did I
grow sew in my sewing room in April? Here is a mosaic of the shenanigans that I got up to:
My favourite blocks were my wonky churn dash blocks:
I LOVED making the tea wallets (Displacement Activity pattern):
And I can't believe I made a shirt that I can actually wear!
I am behind in sewing Bee blocks for two people (sorry guys) but I promise to catch up once I am back from my holiday. May is a SUPER busy month for me with work, sewing projects (paid ones!!), bees, blog hops, swaps and giveaways so with luck I will get some things completed!
Hope you had a great April - here is to a fun (and busy) May!

A beautiful bunch of finishes! You had a great month of April and it sounds like you'll be really busy in May. Have fun! :-)
The poppy fabric of your shirt is lovely. I know I have seen it, but I am not very good at envisioning fabric as actual clothing. You got the perfect print size :)
so busy! I love your tunic - it looks gorgeous in that fabric!
What a beautiful bunch of makes!
I love your top! That fabric is perfect!
Sounds like a great month! I love the tunic, hope we get decent weather so that you can get lots of wear out of it!
Do I spot some paper pieced stars from the Lucky Stars sew along? (Is that what it's called?? Can't remember for the life of me!) They look great! I also might have to make a tea wallet or two. Love tea. So does my mom.
