80s Throwback

I've spent this afternoon making this new clutch bag. I've been looking forward to trying out this new design for a while and I'm really pleased with how it turned out. The bag is much larger than the others I've made so far.

It is lined with bright turquoise fabric to compliment the blue migrating birds Echino fabric.

It is really roomy inside, you can fit phone, camera, purse, make up, even a brush, ideal for a big night out.

I particulary love the oversided bow, very 80's, hence the name. I will be listing it in my shop very soon.

Making this bag got me out of helping Andy with the DIY today. Luckily I was on hand to stop him from painting the walls with the gloss. Believe me, it was a close call! Hope you are all having a great weekend.

Latest Projects

My wool stash has been out a lot over the past week, it has significantly grown, much to my surprise, so I am determined to use some of it up!

This basket only represents half of my stash I am embarrassed to say!

At the craft fair last month, I was asked to make some crochet flowers as brooches, which is something I've been meaning to do for a while. So I thought I'd get my mum on board too, to knit some flowers.

She made this lovely poppy.

I made this rose. (sorry about the dark photos)

And I'm in the middle of this gerbera. There just doesn't seem to be enough hours in the day at the moment to fit everything in. I'm hoping to make plenty more before next weeks fair.

I got a delivery of some more Echino fabrics today and I cannot wait for the weekend to make some more bags. I have lots of design ideas at the moment and I'm looking forward to making them come true! I love the blue version of the migrating birds design, I already had the pink.

Really love this cute brown and turquoise fabric with the small bird motif.

And this bright pink is very bold and funky.

Hope you are all having a productive week!
