I was going to say that I didn't make much in the run up to Christmas but that is obviously a big, fat lie. What I mean is I didn't make much that I couldn't show you. But now I can!
My mum asked for a large toiletry bag since all the ones in the shops are too ridiculously small to be any use to her. I made a make-up bag to match, too, from the beautiful Anna Maria Horner's Sketchbook.
It is lined with pvc cotton from
Terry's Fabrics for wipeability and filled with Soap & Glory goodies coz they are the schizzle. The pattern is Noodlehead's Open Wide Pouch which is always a lovely make.
My dad always uses mum's mugrugs so his own one was very much called for. He owns a little "proper" red Mini like Spouse has so after buying Mini fabric for the Ginorma-mini quilt it was a no-brainer!
And 2 paper-pieced cushions for my 2 friends. I bought the patterns on Etsy, I do love all the woodland things out just now.
I was hoping to do lots of sewing the last few days and cut a new quilt out on Friday night. But I've been laid up with this yukky chesty cough virus and have had a fairly miserable 48 hours so I'm hoping it starts to wane soon!
I love the presents, they are each lovely. I hope your cold/virus is gone soon, I have the same thing and it has already overstayed its welcome.
ReplyDeleteYikes kiddo...hope you aren't spreading it around!;)
ReplyDeleteLove your makes. I have always loved that background fabric on the fox pillow...wish I had yards of it!:)
Didn't you know, they're not toiletry bags any more, they're beauty bags... So the woman in Boots sternly informed my mum when she was looking a couple of months ago anyway!
