Tapestry Bag!

A few months ago I made a tapestry (pictured above) from a Cath Kidston pattern :)
I blogged about it HERE
The design was actually meant to be made into a clutch bag and I finally got round to giving it a go over the weekend... Although the Cath Kidston books are great for patterns I'm not a big fan of the project instructions so I decided to ignore those and just do it my way!

Above is a picture of the half-way stage, I used iron-on vilene to make sure the fabric didn't fray when making the button holes for the magnetic clasp.....

 And above is the finished project, I'm REALLY happy with how it turned out!

This was also the first time I tried using a magnetic clasp, after having a look on the internet for instructions it was surprisingly easy, I'll definitely be using them again :)

Lily's Baby Clothes!

 My cousin Lily turned 3 today and for her birthday I made her/her mum some things using her baby clothes! In total I made a patchwork cushion, a mini cushion, a bird, a heart, some 'LILY' magnets and two christmas decorations....

Here is a back view of the patchwork cushion:

I especially like how the christmas decorations turned out, here is a back view of them too:

Cloud Mobile!

While trying to figure out what to give/make my cousin for her birthday I turned to her pinterest for some gift inspiration... she had pinned this amazing cloud mobile but unfortunately, at the time, it was unavailable on etsy so I thought I would give my own version a go!

I made it quite a bit smaller than the one from etsy and since I used my own templates it obviously looks fairly different but I definitely think it was a success and my cousin loved it! :)

P.S. If anyone hasn't already jumped on the pinterest bandwagon I really recommend it! It not only gives me crafty inspiration but also awesome recipes AND makes me discover amazing, talented people making and selling their gifty things online!

Mooshy Belly Bunnies!

I found an awesome pattern on the blog: Chez Beeper Bebe for a little cuddly bunny!

I didn't make mine out of an old t-shirt, instead I used some jersey type fabric that I happend to have lying around, it was really quick to make and I was so pleased with my first attempt that I decided to make another one...

Here are some pictures of my bunnies:

If you like them I recommend giving it a go yourself using the tutorial in the link above as they are REALLY easy to make :)
