So tired

This week has been so busy with family and sewing but I have finished a few Miffy purses today to add to my ebay shop. I also have some of them listed on etsy. They have been really popular this xmas and even better now I have added colourful linings to the latest ones.

The Miffy fabric is vintage and was a find in a charity shop a couple of months ago, eventually it will run out, which will be so sad, it is so sweet to work with!

Apologies for the dark pictures today, the light is so bad

taking photos is really tricky!

Purses

Just thought I would share some of the purses from my Folksy shop. I tried out some simple ones and some hotchpotch ones, I like the hotchpotch best but would love to know what you think!

What I call hotchpotch above and simple below!

I have more listed in my shop, I love making these and choosing the coloured linings and zips.

I will be having a giveaway of one of my purses in the new year so do check back!

Folksy - new shop

Today I have finally had time to retake some photos and list some items in my newest store on Folksy It is a great new site, still in Beta, and is growing in poularity. I will be listing some purses there later in the week, made from the fabric in my last post.

Fabric rehab

I have this week received a delicious parcel from new online fabric store fabricrehab Based in Suffolk this store sells fat quarters of retro and japanese import fabrics. Delivery was super fast and as you can see from my pics I've got some lovely new stock to work with I'm thinking purses and brooches!

The cute deer fabric was a freebie as I was lucky enough to be one of their first customers. Thankyou to Nancy and Sally!
