After many nights of working on my design, I finally came up with this,


and made my first fabric printing screen with the gocco.

My daughter went to a party at the weekend, so I made this bag and pen roll as a present. Hope she likes orange! I made 3 bags and let my daughter choose, so the other 2 have been listed on etsy.

I've actually felted something for myself, and not for the shop. I wanted a little sewing kit that I could take places. I really need to squeeze my crafting in whenever I can, so I usually take a bit of sewing with me when I babysit. So I had this idea, and I felted it and it works!! That's quite unusual for me, it's normally about third attempt before I get it right. Anyway, here it is, my little sewing pouch.


The idea is the loop will fasten around the strap of whatever bag I have, so the kit is nice and handy. And when not in use, it looks really sweet hanging from my cupboard door handle. All I need to do now is get my hands on a little pair of embroidery scissors to go inside.

Just had a thought whilst writing this blog, I might make some of these as Christmas decorations, you could put sweets inside.
