First attempt at sewing

I've been getting to know my Jones Deluxe 1970 vintage sewing machine by making this not-so-cubey cube, and a pin cushion which for some reason turned out like a bowling pin (which was not my intention at all, but i think it looks cute).

I popped into Mermaid Fabrics in the Narrow Way near Hackney Central and picked up this pile of scrapes for a quid.
