Handbag hack

A short handled bag converted to an across the body bag. Just a few loose threads to sort, a bit of scotchguard to protect the fabric and viola!

Two stars

I decided to make one big one and a few babies for some Christmas bunting. They are 60 degree diamonds. Happily sewing the babies to have stiff interfacing on the back.

Christmas sweatshop

This is the first project I can post up, the others will have to wait until boxing day until their recipients have got them.

This scrappy star is English paper pieced and I've yet to decide whether its flat or filled. Looking forward to seeing how it turns out.

I like both layout, the second one needs one more block making but I've the material left to do it so that's not a problem.

The material is a thrifted sheet that is going to be cut into blocks for the front and there will still be enough for the backing.

Time to sleep on it and decide in the morning.

Can't decide

The cross design looked a bit empty so I might have to revert to a more traditional design
