Phew what a week!

Well half a week!
Been busy making bags as the weather was soooooo nice on sunday I was inspired.

Here we have an icecream tote and a brown spotty bag, just gorgeous for spring.

Halfway through Jan and busy!







Despite a rush of orders (good one) I have found the time to make and experiment with a few patterns.
The free bag that came with Cath Kidstons 'sew' and a few little bits and peices including a rather odd shaped needle case thats shaped like an always ultra! (had a few problems sewing that material as it keeps ripping)

First items for January 2010!




I have been thinking alot about making baby gift sets and came up with this simple little set.




Bib and burp cloth in a lovely little matching bag, perfect for just popping in your bag.


I made this one out of some gorgeous zoo fabric I found on Ebay.




Welcome to my blog!

My very first blog post!

This christmas has been a great one, had a lot of crafty gifts and have been very inspired by my new Cath Kidston books, Make and Sew!

Looking forward to creating new things for my shop.
