St David's Day Daffodils!

I know it's still 9 days until St David's day but I got this idea in my head and just couldn't get it out! I simply had to make these badges:

Folksy!

The time has finally arrived!
I have JUST opened my shop at folksy (an online craft selling community)!

I'm not selling all of my products online since a lot of what I make is very personalised and therefore better dealt with in person but I have a couple of things up at the moment and hope to post more things for sale soon!

Click on the link below (the folsky button thing) to get to my shop; make sure you check out some of the great things for sale by others too!

Turning baby clothes into...

Just before Christmas a very nice lady had an awesome idea; she asked me if I could make her some of my 'products' for her daughter Eliza but out of Eliza's old baby clothes!

So after Christmas I took 8 'baby clothes items' and got busy sewing and I made her a whole goodie bag full of things!




I had talked with Eliza's mum about most of the things I made in advance but when I reached the end of my list I still had LOADS of fabric left over! It occured to me that up until now I had been making baby clothes into things that didn't resemble baby clothes AT ALL so I decided maybe it was time to try to keep the idea of the baby clothes rather than hide them away. I cut out all the pockets, buttons, labels, fringing and special little details and patchworked together a cushion cover :) It turned out REALLY well and I was SO happy with the result!



Although I did also really like the back of the 'mini pillow' I made with one of the patches on Eliza's t-shirts:


SO, for Eliza (and her mum) I made:
a name drop
a mini pillow
2 lavender hearts
a bird
a brooch
and a memory cushion cover

All items are priced individually so I can make as many or as few items as required!
