I seem to be in sewing mode at the moment. I am more of a craft sewer than a clothes sewer, even though I made most of my daughters early clothes when we lived in the cold mountains of Lesotho & warm tracksuits were the most practical attire. The ones I made were trendy with frills, fronts with poppers, collars & even dresses in gorgeous fabrics that I sourced in Johannesburg. I studied the trends in magazines, made my own patterns & then ran up these original items.
Little granddaughter has some new teething toys & I thought they needed a little bag to keep them in for when she is out & about with her Mum.
A friend gifted me a gorgeous piece of Beatrix Potter fabric that she had added the iron on batting too. It was a small piece but I immediately thought of a cute drawstring bag.
The size was determined by the fabric & I added pink fabric to the top to make the drawstring.
This was the youTube tutorial I followed for the main lined bag, I added a drawstring channel to the top before stitching the top together & turning it through the lining gap & sewing that lastly.
There was just a tiny bit of fabric left so I made a matching ribbon toy with that, adding in crinky fabric & a hand made carry strap for it.
I am rather pleased with the pair of them & I hope the little one will enjoy using them too.
What are you busy with at the moment? Tell all.
Thank you for stopping by,
