The last few weeks (or maybe longer) my life has been full of job applications, job interviews, clearing out the house and tidying up what's left.

An update to this post: I got the place on the course, I got a teaching job 3 days a week at first then 4 days a week. Still almost no sewing happening, but I might get a chance in the summer holidays. Doing a portfolio-based qualification at University is hard for a dyslexic like me, but I'm getting there. My course tutor told me the other day, that half of my class is producing work that isn't as good as mine, so apparently my written work is worth the wait. I got so fed up with doing no sewing, that I made myself a handbag over Easter break (photos to come). Will blog more when I get a chance. ClaireBear

Welcome to the first of the patterns/tutorials that I'm writing for my 12 Patterns in 12 Months project. If you are a regular reader, this might not quite be what you were expecting, but this is February's project ;-). The pattern for January is still in the pipeline and will hopefully arrive before January 2014...

These little wraps measure 5.5" x 7" (18cm x 14cm) folded, and 10" x 16.5" (25cm x 41cm) unfolded.

2012 in review

The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2012 annual report for this blog.

Here’s an excerpt:

600 people reached the top of Mt. Everest in 2012. This blog got about 7,400 views in 2012. If every person who reached the top of Mt. Everest viewed this blog, it would have taken 12 years to get that many views.
