Bra for Cancer awareness 2013

I’m starting my Cancer awareness bra now so it will not be a mad rush to make it later in the year.

There will be 40 yo yo's on each cup.

This year I’m using Yo Yo’s then adding glass beads to each one.

Adding a glass bead to each yo yo on the cups

I hope it comes up OK.  Each Yo Yo is been stitched on around the centre so the edges are free standing and should take a lot of handling with out any dropping off.!!!!!

Have been moving my sewing gear to make more room for Jon and family and found these antquie scissors in a bad state,

Very rusty old scissors!!!!

they have gone rusty from the humidity we have here, they were not oiled when I put them away I guess several years ago, so I have them ready to soak in molasses and water for several days to lift the rust hopefully. One pair have wee silver handles and I will be sad to loose them????

We are having torrential rain at present and it has been like this the last 3 days so no garden photos today, place looks like we have had cyclone weather as there are leaves and branches down every where.  Our river is roaring; the Barron Falls are beautiful because of it.

Hope you are all finding time to sew. Cheers Glenda who is linking with Esther Aliuhttp://www.estheraliu.blogspot.com today.

      Hi Bunny I give the decorated bras to our local clinic where we go for our mammograms and they have a fund raiser each year. Using the molasses on the steel part of the scissors not the silver, I have taken the silver handles off before soaking in the molasses and water!!!!!!!
