Badge Bonanza!

Following on from the buttons.......

After some searching of the attic & garage mum finally located my badge collection from the 70s & early 80's. I'm not sure how I obtained all these sports badges as I'm not keen on anything too athletic now!!! Looks like some of them might have been through the washing machine????

I think these must have been my mum's??

Very retro!

Always a cat fan...

Komaneko cat animation

Yesterday afternoon Sarah & I went to see a brilliant film called 'Komaneko' about a film making cat! Apparently this is from a Japanese TV series and the film was shown at No 8 in Pershore as part of The Travelling Picture Show tour of the West Midlands.

The story entails Komaneko making an animation with handmade creatures which inspired me to make my own version of a fabric kitty!

Last night I spent a couple of hours sewing my 'Komaneko' as I've christened her....sewing is not really my thing but I was driven to finish her. I've used a couple of old buttons from my Gran's old tin & the cat fabric is a piece of felted packing blanket.

Over the weekend I'll attempt to make a dress from my old 70's orange & brown flowery curtain fabric....?
