Hottie Cover Challenge..... The Story Continues ...

Well as you know I and 59 other lovely bloggers took part in the Hottie Cover Challenge.... the lovely Cam at Curly Pops collected all of ours and delivered them today to the Open Drawer ready for the exhibition.

The Exhibition runs from 1st to 24th July, and I hope all of you that live in or around Melbourne will have time to pop in and vote and maybe buy,  and definitely drool, over the vast array of different Hottie Covers. Almost next door to the Open Drawer is a lovely cafe, and just across the road is Leo's Supermarket, if you feel like a bit of a 'different' supermarket experience too ... ...  ...
It is during the School Hols, so make it a great day out.

The Hottie Challenge. .. finished ♥

Happy to say my Hottie is finished.  I am not a great sewer or crafter like some of those who have taken up the challenge, but I did have a few ideas.  Those that know me, know how much I love old and vintage things, and I love to re-cycle.  So.. my hottie cover has been constructed from a lovely old tablecloth with floral embroidery. There were many holes in the body of the cloth, but the embroidery bits were worth saving, I added an old vintage lacy collar (again only 1/2 a collar), some buttons, a bit of crochet off a torn white hankie, and a few felt flowers from a massive bag of felt bits I picked up at a 1/2 price sale.
The only thing I really bought 'retail' was a packet of eyelets to make the hanging holes.

There was so much of the tablecloth to save I even used one corner for the back of the Hottie.
