Button deer wall hanging

I like making projects for home. And I do love deer silhouettes. So here's my version of a button deer wall hanging. Most of these are glued on card and framed. But I hand sewed about 200 vintage buttons on fabric.  Mmm I quite like how it worked out.

Fox cushion - Present for my good friend Rachel

I have just come back from two months camping and my good friend Rachel looked after posting out my patterns. 

Which I really appreciated.

Anyhoo, I decided to make her a present.... To say thanks. She really likes foxes, so I designed and made her an appliqué fox cushion.

Hope she likes it!! My daughter miss J thought it was very cute..

Chelsey's Birthday Present

Had to make another early birthday present as we have gone away camping.

So here it is, a my little messenger bag for my beautiful niece Chelsey. She specifically asked for a purple bag, so my beautiful daughter Miss J chose the fabric for the bag.

Let me tell you, she just loved it!!!

Vanessa's IPad bag

We have gone away camping for a couple of months. So before I left I had a few weeks of furious sewing for birthday's, new Passionately Sewn patterns and things that were on my to do list. Yes I am a fan of lists.
So my sister in law wanted a bag to fit her iPad, some books and other things. And she wanted the colour purple.

How hard is it to find really nice, grown up purple fabric? Let me know if you have found some!

So using my own iPad, to measure the size, decided that a full zipper internal pocket would be the go. Plus another small zipped pocket on the other side. Vanessa's other request was cane handles.

So I finally decided to use batik fabric in stripes. My bag has a side and bottom gusset as well...

Here it is, and she loves it. I've decided it will be a Passionately Sewn pattern, but that will have to wait until I'm home.

Hope you like it!!
