sneak peek...

a little peek at some of my makes which are all for sale and heading to my website soon if they are not snaffled up before hand! I have really enjoyed making these, the main bag material is a soft velvety type of canvas/cotton, which is lovely to work with. The appliqued parts are from my ever growing fabric stash of new, vintage and retro fabrics. I'm in love with quirky animals at the moment and have been really inspired by my middle sons drawings, he's great at characters and hopes to be a cartoonist when he's bigger.
embroidered handles with love hearts and twirls....
fully lined in lovely pink retro cotton.......

This next one I like to call union Jill - why should us girls miss out eh!


hot pink ric rac, baby blue satin ribbon and flannelet polka dots all on this soft denim canvas...



fully lined in yellow 70's flower power cotton....




Naughty Tom...cat that is, he has a real smug smile after laying in the sun all day! Machine embroidered tail and felt face.....


fully lined in orange sari material for a gorgeous grown up feel!


This past few days I have felt so worn out with decorating, my mum moving, rainy stuck inside days - what has happened to the summer?, that today I have spent the morning doing arty stuff with the boys and now were off to the park with our fingers crossed it won't rain, I'm hoping to watch a film and just chill tonight, have a lovely weekend everyone xx

Really lovely bags. I love the owl design with it's pretty eyes!

The pictures of your work area on your previous post are great. I'm always interested (nosy) to see where people do their sewing. It looks a very happy place to work in I think.

Hey Ruby, I just dropped by to thank you so much for following me! I've been browsing through your blog a little and my, there are some nice things here! I just love your "Union Jill" bag, anything that combines a play on words and vintage 70's fabric is A-OK in my book! :)
