My Reversible Bag and other bits..

I had a lovely day on Monday sewing. You guessed it, I made another bag...lol

I thoroughly enjoyed it and I am now in the mood for more sewing and 'me' time.

This is from the Grand Revival range and is a reversible bag. I did mess up the process and spent some time unpicking but then just decided to do it my way and I was happy with the way it turned out... lol I did use it today and sits really well on your shoulder and is very comfortable to carry..

Some other things I have been making are a xmas stocking, a thread tidy which I am yet to finish off..

also had fun today shopping... lol we went and visited a new (to us) P & Q shop..... it was heaven and had a great array of fabrics and patterns that are completely different to the other shops in the area..... I didn't really buy a lot, a few patterns and some fabric.... the girls each picked out some fabric that they liked and I will make it up into some glasses cases for them..

Happy New Year!!

Can you believe another year has already passed us by... it doesn't seem like 12 months have gone by already....


I hope everyone had an enjoyable christmas and wish all a very happy and prosperous New Year ahead full of good health and happiness.


I am hoping to get more time to spend in my sewing room this year and have big plans to enable this to happen...
These cute little flowers are a sample of some of the sewing I have been doing however...lol they are 2 different ways of doing a type of suffolk flower.... these are now attached to a pocket on a bag I have made for my dd for her xmas pressie.........

It was really sad to see when she came home to stay for a while that she kept and transported all her cross stitch supplies in a plastic nappy bag...... so I got the idea of making her a bag for her cross stitching. I will post a pic once I have given it to her so as not to ruin the surprise... lol as you can see she hasn't received it just yet as I still have to finish of the handles.....

I haven't forgotten either that I need to post a photo of the last bag I made.. it is on my camera and I will download it to the pc asap... I know I can be slack at times, also very busy and hectic with life..lol but I am going to make an extra effort this year to update my blog on a more regular basis with lots more pics... lets see how I do....

hugs to all
