With Bert up and running fine, back to work again.

Here is a 'lollipop' boat purse, lined with bright orange spots and a swivel clip on the side. A nice and bright purse for summer!
The purse will be listed in the shop tomorrow.

 

Boat Purses

After many busy weeks over the holidays, it's back to it! Sewing that is!

Here is the first boat purse for 2011.
Unfortunately, I'll be keeping this little baby for myself, however, I'll be making another to list in the shop on Friday.
The fabric used for this one is Amy Butler's August Fileds Collection- Bright Buds in Morning Mist. A favourite of mine.

 Other boat purses are in progress, and will be listed in the shop on Friday. Below are some of the colour combinations of those making their way to the shop.

 

it's the small things

Hand made gifts are usually appreciated so much more than a store bought item- or so i think.
Therefore I like to try and make gifts that will be enjoyed, and used, rather than stashed away at the back of a cupboard somewhere. I know this little purse is going to a home where it will be much loved.

I really love the fabric I used in this one. I used a heavy upholstery weight denim on the top and Anna Maria Horners Garden Party fabric for the bottom.

So this cute little purse is making its way off to its new home today- filled with lovely little goodies.

 

waiting in queue

More little zippered pouches sitting in the line of production.

And still waiting on the hardware to finish the others.
Please, pretty please, be arriving tomorrow so i can have these finished for Christmas!
*fingers crossed*

 

production line

With Christmas looming, my sewing room has turned into a production line.

These little zippered pouches are waiting patiently for some hardware to arrive in the post before i can finish them off.

Then I will be frantically sewing, filling them with goodies and wrapping them ready for their new owners.
