Sew some new earrings...

I recieved the top right pair a few years ago at Christmas and only just got around to having a go myself. Surprisingly easy!! First step as below with dissolvable fabric and a pale shear for strength (something my gift pair didn't have much of!), then zigzag your outline and hand bead. Really effective - I've had loads of passing comments already! :) I just wish i had a decent camera to do these things justice...

Sew a little storage...

Sew...first blog!

First things first I suppose - dragged everything out of the cupboards and attic into a big tangle and immediately decided I needed some storage!!

The first I found on a tutorial by Applehead and adapted. 'H' design works really well, i just changed fabrics, added pockets and handles and hey presto here we are (albeit with a few pins still in!)...


Then I got a little enthusiastic and found another tutorial by crazymomquilts, sew ended up making another set of three...limited only by running out of little quotes for the front.

Perfect for all my little scraps.
The fabrics I used are cut out of old fabric books - a great way of finding fabric lying about.
