WOYWW

 

Good morning all.

I had an hour or two in my craft room this week, using up a bit more of my fabric stash.

I decided to make a few small bags to go to charity using the Dollytime ideas. I've used lots of the Dollytime knitting patterns but other ideas include these little fabric collaged dollies.

I made a couple of bright cheery bags using this fun balloon patterned fabric.

I've loads of small pieces which I can patchwork together to make more. I think they sold well last time I made them so I will keep going and try and clear a bit more of my stash 

So that's me for this week.

I have jobs to do for Tilly Tea Dance to get ready for her exhibition in early September. It keeps me out of mischief.😃

Have a good week all

Good morning all!

I hope you are all well and able to enjoy this Wednesday blog hop around the crafty workdesks of the world. If you are not sure what this is all about, just follow the link to Julia's Stamping Ground and join in. There are lots of happy, crafty, bloggers around the world just waiting for you to check out their Wednesday work space!

After showing my sneaky peek at my new bag last week, lots of you asked to see the full monty, so here it is....

The fabric was from Abakhan and the little needle-felted brooch is one that I made last year.
Annie also made a bag - check out her blog..
 "A stitch in time" if you want to see the funky fabric she chose for hers and her finished bag - it's really fab!

Not much else happening on my workdesk at the moment.

I did sort out some of my crafty goodies to send to one of our blog friend's charities that they support.

I am sure the children involved in Muffins Dream Foundation will have fun with this little lot.....

 

Thanks for calling by my blog and for leaving such kind comments.

Have a good week.

 I am a bit late posting my WOYWW today.
AND - you are only getting a sneaky peek at what I have been making this week!!
Annie and I went on a bag making workshop yesterday.
We had a fab day - lots of laughter and crafting with two lovely friends.
I ran out of time and fabric so my bag isn't quite finished.
I am really pleased with it so far, so I will make sure I do the last little bit later today, ready to show and tell later in the week.

 

These are my other "makes" this week...

 

 A pretty little lace flower made using an idea I found on Pinterest.

AND

Two little dressing up outfits for the twins.
Sorry for the photo quality - I used my phone and I think I must have sneezed at the same time!!

Doctor and Nurse outfits - of course they both wanted to wear the one with the velcro-ed on watch on the pocket!! So, I guess I need to make another little watch for the Doctor!

Have a great week - see you later when I check out your desk.

Bags of fun!

Today has been a bag making day.

This one is made from furnishing velvet with a denim pocket.
I cut out one of the velvet flowers and put it on the pocket as a raw applique - free machining over it to decorate.

This one is made from strong, cotton curtaining. It has pockets on both sides and a little one in the lining.


They will both go into the shop next week with the three bags Wipso made today!
