Now all I need is the lady who asked me to make it to pop up and we can arrange the payment and the address to send it to.......... :)

Warm Doggy

I have made my first attempt at making a jacket for my friends dog.

 Armed with only a measurment for the length of his back and the circumference of his chest I made this colourfully jazzy cotton lined fleece jacket.

The owner is happy with the outcome as am I. This is by no means a perfect jacket but hey it fits and he's warm so good result for 2 1/2 hours work :)

Hes quite an old guy.

Natalies Flower

My friend liked some flowers I have been making and wanted me to try and make a smaller one for her little girl Natalie.

Well here it is my first attempt at making a hair slide/clip.

 Doesn't Natalie look beautiful !!



Patchwork treasure chest

This is a work in progress. Its a small soft patchwork box all handmade by myself. Each panel is made seperately and then the box is assembled.

This is a unique one off item measuring approximately  5 " x 5.5". the lid is a styalised flower which is approx 8" x' 8"

This is a work in progress and I need to add a loop fastener and maybe some ''bun'' feet made from fabric balls, not exactly sure yet.

BJs Bag

Here is another bag I have been making for a friend of mine. Fortunately she allowed me to do things in my own sweet way so the process was not too restraining. sometimes making something for someone you know can be more restrictive because I tend to worry and faff more because I don't want to produce something they don't like.

Anyhow here are the photos and BJ my friend seems to like it very much :0) making me a happy bunny.

 

 

New Patchwork bag

I have really enjoyed making this latest patchwork bag. I was asked by a friend to come up with an idea for a bag for her mum. This is the final result based on the patchwork wallets that I make.

I have used both new and recycled fabrics ranging from old clothing and bedlinen to new patchwork fabrics from the shop. Decorations include old jewellery, buttons, beads and applique.

I am now on a mission to make another bag with a different design but using the same techniques..........so watch this space.

 

 

 

Belt pouches

I made these two belt pouches from upcycled vintage indian fabric and added a few pretty decorations.

Each pouch is lined with navy blue patterned fabric.

 

 

The backs of the pouches


The pouches can hang from the belt or from the belt loops as two snap hooks are provided with each pouch
