All made with beautiful silks and velvets. My friend very generously allowed me to borrow it (thanks Mad) to make a pattern and you may remember seeing my almost finished bag here when I was unhappy with colour of the handles. They have now been re-dyed and the bag is complete.
I have made it using my own dyed cotton velvets plus some silk furnishing fabric samples which I have had for years and knew would come in handy one day!
The interior is lined with hand dyed silk and has one large pocket.
I have used a sparkly brooch to decorate.
Another UFO surfaced this afternoon and I got this Mystery Quilt from The Quilters Guild layered up.
It's from a few years back now and we worked on it a row at a time. Hoping to get the machine out over the weekend and make a start on the quilting. Meanwhile my Four Seasons Crazy just needs its binding hemming down and a hanging sleeve - handwork for the evenings while the football is on! - so hopefully that will soon be finished.
I have been playing with a couple of small projects. First of all I saw this gorgeous little dish in a charity shop in UK and at 50p it had to come away with me.
I found some gorgeous Tilda fabric that I had been saving and made myself a new pincushion.
I have see quite a few boxed zippy pouches around and had a go at making one using this tutorial.
Not a bad effort although the corners could have been more symetrical! I shall definitely be making more of these though.
Well I think you must have had enough of my pictures now! Hope you all have a great weekend.
