The first three photos are of two linen mug rugs made as a house warming gift for two very lovely ladies! The nine patch centre is made from scraps left over from a quilt, which is not quite completed yet but, under way as we speak! The ribbons were bought in Dunnes Stores along with the mugs to match and girls loved them!
The next three photos show a gift (inspired by Sew Jenaissance) made for a very gorgeous little family member who celebrated her First Holy Communion this summer. She wore a sleeveless long white brocade cheongsam (a one piece asian dress with mandarin collar) edged in gold delicate piping and white silk trousers with a little bag to match, all made by yours truly, and she looked gorgeous with her hair all curled and wearing a white hairband. It was indeed a happy day for her, surrounded by family members and lots and lots of friends.
And last but not least these three photos are of a zippy pouch, again made from scraps (more about that project next week). I literally had to use cut offs for this little project and didn't it work out well. When I was about to throw what was left of the scraps in the bin I scraped enough together to make another zippy pouch so now I have two. This one holds scissors, pens, rulers and things when I go to class. I love when I manage to use every last bit of fabric purchased, just imagine, if I managed to do that all the time I wouldn't have reams and reams of fabric everywhere "tossing up the house".
I hope you are keeping busy with your crafts and making lots of lovely things too.
(Sorry about the wonky images, I can't manage to get them straight up)
Bye for now!
