So I killed my overlocker...

Yes I did! I am so annoyed with myself. I had cleaned it , oiled it, and been very nice to it as it had been playing up a bit. Then I had a bit of a mishap whilst sewing chunky knit, got it stuck, tried to remove it, yanked too hard..well, you know how it goes. It's sitting in a corner, sulking...as am I. I have purchased a cheap second machine- and I hope it gets here QUICK! My step mum has had two overlockers always, and I know a few Crafty Mamas do too. It makes sense I think!

So in the mean time, I will keep cutting out and I do have two quilts I started last year- so maybe I could drag them out. 

I managed to get a few items sewn up for Lil yesterday before the incident. Two Farbenmix IMKES

Lil mooching my table space, gorgeous new Hamburger Liebe knit.

A warmer IMKE with one of my iron on velours- cute little deer. 

 

Also a pair of Otto trackpants and a pair of yoga pants, both of which were worn on the v?ery same day they were made and are now in the wash. Only my children do this, I am sure.

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

These are so yummy, and quick, and flour-less ( for those that do not do flour).

 What you need:

1 cup peanut butter, smooth or crunchy, up to you
1 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon bicarb/baking soda
1/2 cup ( or more) chocolate chips ( I use the bittersweet bakers choc from Costco).

Beat the first 4 ingredients in mixer. When well mixed, spoon in your chocolate.

Place  tablespoons of dough on  baking paper on cookie tray,  bake for appox 10 mins til lightly golden.
Leave to cool on try.

Yields 16 cook sized cookies.

ANTONIA is designed for knit fabrics, and I think it works best if they are of a similar weight and composition. ie; 100% cotton knit with same, or cotton/lycra with same. See our HUGE range of KNITS here!
