Swap gifts made

I love making items for other people, but I will admit quite often I have too make 2 ‘cause I just knows I will want one for me .. do you do that to?

This is what I made Fee for her main present in the advent Swap-I always feel a bit umm inadequate –  might be the word I am looking for –in my sewing when my partner is someone who designs and sells and does gorgeous work.

Soon as I saw The Perfect Quilted Totes on Oh Fransson blog I just knew after I secretly asked a squirrel her advice on some fabric I had that the fabric would be perfect to make one for Fee..so I entered the wee giveaway but alas random number thingy didn’t pick me, so I just clicked my way over to Elizabeth’s shop and purchased a pattern for me. The pattern was very clear and easy to follow and I love patterns like that don’t you?

Cheers for now

Vickie

Thanks for visiting

Hi Vickie,
I love the bird theme you had going there with the bag. Gorgeous colours, your partner would've loved receiving that lovely bag. Of course you have to make two.
Cheers, Anita.
