view from my sewing table
August 12, 2008
During the last school holidays the girls and I did lots of sewing while we were away up the coast. I thought it time to take some photos of our work. Below are some of the pencil cases we made. These started out just for the girls themselves. I also wanted to make some using some Ribbons Galore ribbons as well. I made the pouch "pattern" myself and have refined it slightly since the holidays, so now we are in full production mode - LOL.
At the moment there seems to be a flurry of birthday parties, so I've been busy making some pencil cases for presents. I love the idea of making gifts, but time is not always on our side. Special requests can be accommodated, provided the right fabric can be found in the fabric box!
These are a couple of designs I have for sale over at Ribbons Galore. I've loved the Fairy Tale ribbons from the moment they arrived, and have been wanting to make some things with them. They are fully lined and padded pencil cases or pouches. I've had so much fun combining the fabrics and making them up. I've only made a limited number of each design.
Coming soon will be some pouches with the Goldilocks ribbon...
And another work in progress, my Clover felting needle tool has been having a workout (see previous post for a link to Clover). These will be available very soon.
A couple of other sweet things that have caught my eye recently:
Kylie's felt cupcake. I'm so in love with this, it is so pretty and yummy looking.
Holly's very, very cute fabric flowers. They are the feature of her Tutorial Tuesday post a couple of weeks back.
That's about all. Thank you for visiting again.
Have a good week.
Cheers
