Fabric Bags

I went shopping with my daughter yesterday and was passing a fabric shop and this just jumped out at me!!
I got some bags from Vonnie - Blottedcopybook and I also bought some smaller ones for my monkeys and thought I needed to decorate some.
Did these this morning by sewing the peices to neaten then up and then glued them into place and then stitched then inside to make sure they stay put!!

Not sure if they need more embelishments like the flowers on the little one??

Let me know what you think!!
I think I will get a competition up and running very soon too!! Hopefully in the next couple of weeks anyway!!

Latest Offering....

Ok, Until last week I had not actually touched a sewing machine despite going to a sewing class for a few weeks!!

I managed to create some more sock monkeys using it and then thought I would have a go at a bag!!

I also had never made a Yo Yo and made this to embellish the bag.

I really am pleased with the end result, despite the wonky stitching and I have also realised a couple of other errors, but hey I am learning!!
I am hoping to manage a few more bits and pieces as I need to develop these skills quickly as I have some fairs booked that require fabric work!!
Any tips on easy to make items would be most welcome!

More Butterfly Tiles!!

My Other Finished Tiles!!
A couple of these are not perfect, but I am happy with the technique!
The largest one has bubbles trapped uder the wings, which my kids think makes it look better!!
Hoping to have a bit of a play with mixing Glass and the Resin!!

I have recently been asked to be an editor for the glass section and I am priviledged to have been asked!!

I have been working on my new glass pendants and have

made a new batch that include the use of fabrics.

Also I have continued with my love of Millefiore and am experimenting with these brooches.
