Here are a couple of handmade gifts I've made lately. I'll be back soon with updates on clothing makes, including
my sewing dare and the
Cami dress,
a whole lot of patterns I won from Claire and a few other things, but first up some handmade gifts
So, here we have a tissue cover with a cute little side pocket for a pen or some lipstick! This one is for another work mate. It is made with Liberty Tresco A. I was only able to purchase a little bit of this fabric so I'm glad it worked out. It is lined in another Liberty Virtual Light A. The fit is a bit snug because I made up the pattern myself after the only ones I could find on the internet involved sewing the top onto the side pieces, which I find too bulky and my head was spinning after a few hard days at work so my maths struggled. The piece at the bottom is because I cut it too short. But I'm calling it a design feature!
Next up is an
ooshka babushka doll I made using Liberty scraps for a little girl turning one tomorrow. I have spoken before of my love for the patterns of
Lisa from the Red Thread. I made a 'superman' for this house many years ago and is a great comfort to me as I lie in the kid's bed reading stories.
Lastly, to show I'm making good progress on my battle with the zipper purse, two little purses I made today. Elliot is off next week to a birtday party for twin girls, so they will get these with some little things in them. Not sure what yet.. but something!
