Hi everyone and a very warm welcome to this week’s Handmade Monday.

I have found time for a little bit of sewing this week. I’d made this dress a couple of weeks ago from an old duvet cover that a friend gave me. It’s the Benning dress from Seamwork and was a lovely really easy make. I wanted to give it a little extra something and I’d asked over on instagram for some ideas. I settled on added some using some bright pink thread to add some top stitching and some decorative stitching in a few places. I’m happy because it’s given it just a little bit of colour, I used up some highlighter pink thread I’ve had for a while and I didn’t need to buy anything new. Plus I have a lovely floaty dress for hot summer days.

Enough about me, now let’s check out the features from last week’s Handmade Monday.

I love this stunning felt art from Birdz of a Feather.

I absolutely love anything with blueberries so these Blueberry Pie Bars from Cindy’s Online Recipe Box are right up my street.

Congratulations to you both. There is a "YAY I was featured" button over here if you want to add one to your blog.

A like on social media, a comment or share is an easy way for us all to help to support one another so please do take a moment to visit some of the other projects linked up this week. It’s not mandatory to be able to join in here, there’s no easy way to check if you did but it costs nothing but a few minutes of your time and is just a nice thing to do!

The rules for Handmade Monday are very simple:

• Did you make it? Yes - then yay! We'd love to see it

• Add the link to a specific post, not your main blog url

• You can link up to 3 posts each week but try to make sure it's not something that you've shared here before

• Mingle - visit some other links - comment - share - be social

HANDMADE MONDAY IS NOT A PLACE FOR SELLING SO NO LINKS TO ETSY OR OTHER SELLING PAGES, THEY WILL ALWAYS BE REMOVED. THANKS

If you are not sure of anything more details can be found here.

At Handmade Monday the links are shown in a random order so it’ll look different each time you pop by.
