Almost there

Well in fact sewing wise I am there (there as in done for the Craft Fair) or let's say I stopped sewing because I think I have enough 'sellable' small craft itmes. Of course I could always make more but I think if I keep going I'll force myself and that is counterproductive.

So let me share with you some images of purses, covers and bags I finished last week. I also made drawstring bags with London fabric, some more i-pad covers and lavender sashes with London fabric too but I spare you even more images.



Above and below five kindle covers, some with pockets and some without. As you can see I already attached 'needlesandlemons' tags on which I will write the price. Favorite ? Possibly the one sewn from Melody Miller's viewfinder fabric (no surprise there).
All covers are lined with Flannel leftovers I had from making my baby blankets. Unlike i-pad covers, kindle screen are exposed and I think they can do with some extra soft padding. Most i-pad have smart covers these days so really only need a scratch cover.



Then I made large frame purses in addition to the small ones I already made. These here have a 6" x 2.5" frame.


 I again drew a pattern based on this excellent tutorial and the finished purses fitted perfectly into the frames.


Love them all.


I also made another bag like my 'Handsome bag'. U-handbag from whom I have the frame in this case provide a free pattern for this bag which is very good.



Red and white dots for the inside.



The backside is just a fab as the front. Oh I do love this fabric.


And from next week on its quilting and more quilting again.....(Thank God)

  10. Oh 'eck! I think it's just as well I'm tied up all weekend! That handsome bag is fantastic - another one for me if it doesn't sell ;-) What is that fabric, it's brilliant. Those frame purses are also lovely, although I'm clearly a sucker for Melody Miller! Good luck this weekend, I'm sure you'll sell loads :-)
