It was a good weekend, this weekend, lots of time in the garden, and an equal amount of time at the sewing machine.
This is what I came up with for my swap item - a passport holder/cover in Amy Butler's Martini fabric.
And the inside:
Hopefully the recipient will like it! I have still had no takers for my part of the swap - so if you fancy receiving some random crafty goodness (you only have to make
one item to send off) then please contact me. It would be a nice to keep the thing going :-)
I made a couple of other passport covers too, one for me (the trial version) in my japanese rooster and tulips fabric:
And another in the reverse colorway of the Amy Butler material, which is destined for my
Etsy shop.
The other job I managed to get done, which has been hanging around for a while, was to make a bag to transport my clothes in to work (I cycle part of the way). I had been using cotton shop bags, but wanted something a bit more personal and a bit more cheerful to hang up in my office. I got some lovely striped material from John Lewis:
And simply made a lined version of the bag I had been using - much prettier though :-)
And with the rather dramatic black lining:
All in all, a good weekend I think!
