Pinterest Doily Inspired Sewing!

I had another go at the Pinterest challenge and had a go at making these storage bins which were inspired from here. I already had the linen and managed to get some doilies on ebay.

I love the contrast between the dark fabric and white doily so I made this door stop too.

Rabbits

I think I've finally got my sewing mojo back and in the process of making about 15 rabbits - which all in the middle of being made. Managed to finish off these two this morning though, to give to a friend who was having a christening for her twins. Now can't wait to finish off the rest!

Craftiness

I've had a bit of a crafty time this last week. I had a go inspired by the pinterest challenge to make this which was inspired by this. Not as good but not bad as a first go - got to get the hang of applique!

I also made this bunting for Valentine's Day out of old books. Sorry the picture is so terrible - the light is non-existent in my house at the mo.

I've had a go at making something I've been inspired by - have a look at this. I had a go at this tutorial and made these tissue holders:

Purse

I had a go at using one of those quick sew patterns for a purse. It uses bias binding with cord inside as shown in orange on my purse. It was really easy to make but has sat half finished until last week. I've made it for my niece who's 11 and I think this will be right up her street....

It's getting bigger....

Made this dress for my friend's little girl. Quite pleased with it and will be making some more for my nieces.

I'm getting there slowly with this quilt .... Now need to get my hands on some more scraps of fabric...

It has been a long, long summer.....

I've started another quilt - this is going to the underside of the quilt - which is a bit busy! I'm basically using up all my scraps and then maybe buying a teensy bit as well..... Any excuse!

This is going to be the top side which will more serene.These are a close up of some of the blocks. I am basically just making up the whole pattern.

More photos to follow of progress!
