CRAFTY SUNDAY #11


This weeks Crafty Sunday items are thank you presents for the children's teachers at both school and nursery..

I wanted something that was relatively quick and easy to make as I have left it (as usual) to the last minute, school finishes on Wednesday...


I went for these easy peasy zippered pouches which can be used for anything from Make-up, pencils, sewing kit etc...

I found the tutorial on Make it perfect blog, and they really are as the title says 'Easy peasy'....


And a great way to use up scraps...


also odd buttons....


These are the fronts ready quilted for the rest of the pouches.

 As I said in my post yesterday I was featured on My passport to style this week, Sharon featured this pump bag (amongst other things) and said she would like one as a wash-bag for when she goes on her Summer camping trip, well, funnily enough the Mum of the little girl I made it for asked if I could make her a wash-bag and also applique her name on to a towel for her take to brownie camp...



I lined the wash-bag with a piece of white shower curtain, which worked really well..


And there will be no chance of this towel going missing..

    Wonderful stuff as always - I am not very good at fiddly stuff, I always finish up with pin pricked fingers and little bits of 'nothing' I once tried to make a rabbit for Aija's youngster and it turned out looking like something off the 'Clangers' - Not sure if you are old enough to remember the 'Clangers' ask your mum if you are not... Have a lovely week and get ready for 'Schools out for Summer !!!.

    Lovely! You have been busy.
    I have been sewing, however, it is for a swap so just can't share yet.
    And the scrap quilt I've almost finished is a gift for a friend and fellow blogger so want to keep 'secret' for a bit longer.
