I am making a two tone bag.

I am making a bag with a colourful cotton fabric with hessian on the top and the shoulder straps.
It has a plaited suede loop on the font with a button to close.

I have a rust coloured lining with a small fabric pocket the same material as the bag and a larger hessian pocket lined with the same material.

I just have to add the label to the lining and lining to the bag which will have white top stitch, add shoulder straps, stitch on the loop and sew on the button. Photograph it and add to my Craftycreate Shop. Yay another original to add my eclectic mix.

It is at the putting together stage it will need an iron. I like the rustic look with the smooth material combined with the hessian and the colours and texture of the lining and pockets.

Exclusive Pink Flower Cushion

I have two online shops one on Folksy Crafty Bags which is for British designers and makers and another shop CraftyCreate opened on Etsy in June this year and for international designer makers. I am glad I have included worldwide postage as I made a sale on Etsy just recently of my Crochet Rainbow Throw it has just made its way to Australia.

I made a cushion today with this exclusive prestigious Concerto fabric I have listed it in my Shop CraftyCreate. It is made pillow style with Velcro on the back to close.

Flowery Kindle Case and Blooms

I made this little kindle case it is lightly padded with polyester wadding to give protection for your kindle. I thought I'd show the blooms in my garden too looking abundant after the shower and sunshine. This is my brand new website 

Material with zips on a roll.

I found this lovely material while on the look out for small zips for coin purses. I found a haberdashery shop that sold zips on a roll with two colour choices of cream or dark red I bought four 3.5" in cream. It works out much cheaper, about £1.46 if I remember.

The material I found were a pair of curtains that caught my eye in a charity shop. I like the different patterns. I can see coin purses, a kindle, iPad, gadget cases maybe a cushion or two, definitely a bag which will look really good with these pattern combinations

The bag I made Striped Fabric Shoulder Bag today.

Hello everyone I thought I'd show you all the bag I just finished making.

Also I have joined Mail Chimp to make a Newsletter to send out to people, telling them about discounts, special offers, and new items I'm making, things like that.  I need people to sign up by email on my blog so I have lots of people to send a newsletter to!

Bag making, material sort and coin purses.

This is the bag I am making just need to attach the lining and add the buckle. The bag has blues,  rust red and cream with a pattern and cream speckles that adds interest.

I have been sorting out my colourful fabric and have a selection to make coin purses  I have made two so far which I think look good these are the first fabric purses with zips that I've made.

Also I  just noticed a red rosé bud on one of my three seedlings I was so surprised as I thought they had to grow bigger before flowers grew!

New Summer Bag and Crochet Motif

 I have been following a crochet pattern and made this motif it is just over 14"x14" square.
I will make a cushion with it on fabric with an embroidery design underneath the motif.

I have started embroidering a chain stitch which I find relaxing and I am enjoying seeing the design take shape.
