Ewe, Me and Mini me!!

After a couple of weeks of battling against technology, with a ”hissy fitting” monitor on a mission to try and give me an epileptic fit from it’s strobe flashing effects…many visits to and fro to see our lovely children around the UK….celebrating somewhat of a landmark birthday ~ very quietly..almost to the point of ignoring it even happened LOL ~ I eventually got back into my stride šŸ˜‰ A new design and a few cute little appliqued sheep, happened into a lovely shoulder bag and cosmetic pouch set!

sheep-inboots-shoulder-bag-2

Unique Cute and Quirky, but…..It’s perfect as an every day bag/tote, all fully lined, three large compartments for organising, the centre one having a full width zip and a little add on pocket for keys, or the like! With a little of the wool tweed fabric left over after cutting out my pattern, it was put to good use as a matching, simple, fully lined cosmetic pouch ~ plenty of room to house a lippy/liner/mascara etc…

Having added a 100% cotton interlining, I hand quilted the outer layers to it, before adding the striped cotton lining for a little extra touch of handmade. Once the gusset and the binding was added to all pieces, an awful lot of hand stitching completed the look. Time and patience was definitely worth the three days work to see the finished set!

A quick look at the back to check..YUP!! just as neat as the front ~ minus the little ‘sheepies’ of course šŸ˜‰

sheep-inboots-shoulder-bag-5

Only one thing left to do….package, ready for shipping! I do hope my little ‘sheep in boots’ set finds a loving home šŸ˜‰

Whilst I had an amazing birthday, organised by my lovely daughter….incorporating a surprise class, glazing pottery no less, something I’ve never done before!…then, on to an evening out at our favourite Indian restaurant ~ so lovely!….I’ve definitely decided…I’m not going to celebrate again till I get a card from the reigning monarch of the time LOL That way, I can pretend that I’m not getting any older for quite a whileĀ  ;-D

This is just the start of the buttons!

This is just the start of the buttons!

Ever eager to design something new and unique this was the result.

After much routing through my new buttons (I really never will have enough of them – okay in most people’ terms I already have too many – but they are so exciting, and to get a new batch is well …:-) Ā Simple pleasures – I don’t ask for much !

As always I like to keep things fairly simple but original so all my own design, no other one like this exists anywhere and never will be reproduced again in this exact manner. Constructed from a variety of cotton fabrics its perfect for anyone having a ”purple day” In fact is probably perfect for anyone have any a colour day, there are so many coloured buttons that I have hand stitched it could be an accessory for all occasions for extra close ups. AvailableĀ for a limited time only this totally reversible bag with two different designs OR two bags for the price of one!

It is my pleasure to produce handmade unique items with love and care and I hope their new owners enjoy them as much as I did making them!

Below are some other views of the bag and the clever multi-pocket feature I like to incorporate into my designs, which is always uniquely different too

Totally Toadstools!

Totally Toadstools!

This bag I designed for total visual impact. It was designed and made as a wheelchair accessory, with little loop handles approx 17″ apart, just perfect for hanging on the back of a wheelchair and to carry simple essentials.Ā Made out of various cottons and deeply contrasting red felts with tiny buttons on the toadstools. It has a triple multi-pocket inside, one of which has a zip. the reverse(see thumbnail below) is of a simpler design, though still allows to beĀ reversible. It also has two magnetic clasps.
