stain removal power!
I wondered what I could use to easily get the stains out of Master B's clothing. I had a few suggestions from friends after showing them the top.
I thought I would try something simple- sard soap. Just a plain looking block of white soap that you can pick up for a few dollars at the supermarket. After getting the top wet with warm water, rubbing in the soap I found a soft nail brush and scrubbed the stains.
The nail brush worked so well (I was feeling a little amazed at this point). It moved all the dirt, grass and food out of the fabric with the help of the soap and water.
The downside to this method was using my muscles to scrub and the time it takes to make sure all the stains are out BUT its ever so satisfying watching all the stains disappear!!
So now Master B has a clean school top. I put it in the wash with all the other clothes and I don't have to now think "how on earth am I going to get out those stains". I shall enjoy my small stain removing victory!!

Stains!
This was Master B's school uniform the other day when I picked him up from school.
First thought was It looked like he had a great day at school...... trying to ignore the state of his uniform.
Second thought was "how on earth am I going to get grass/dirt stains out". Wish me luck as I try and tackle this in the next day or so......
growing hexagons with a plan
With the weather being so terrible, hand stitching on cold winter evenings has been productive. I now have a plan for all the hexagons after this post. I decided I wont unpick the hexagons I started on....but will create something with what I already have.
So I started a fresh with new hexagons with fabric I have in my stash.

So I started a fresh with new hexagons with fabric I have in my stash.
I now need 343 individual hexagons. 7 hexagons per block. No two blocks are the same. 7 blocks wide by 7 blocks long = 49 blocks total.
This project is growing quickly. I am really enjoying how clean and simple the hexagons are on the white blocks.
