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.

 

prototype

This is my latest project.

Covering a friends much loved child sized couch. I just love this chair. It's so cute!

Here it is before.

And here it is with it's prototype cover on.

Not entirely happy with my construction. I will make a few tweaks here and there next time.
Now just to find the right fabric for the finished product.
