Travellin' along.....


Welcome to my day of the 

Travellin' Pic Stitch Blog Hop!

Laura and Katy are on a road trip around the U.S....

Check out today's amazing photos here....

Their sewing and blogging is being inspired by their 

travels!


My inspiration came from these 



pieces.....




and these fabrics.......


and this picture.....
Nyons Market, France, 2011
(Although the fabrics probably suit this photo better?)


Metro Station in Paris, 2010

 And this is what I made!


I needed to switch out the centre fabric 

and add one...

 

 I did in fact do some sewing...


But I figure most people know how to EPP by now!

I baste my shapes the old fashioned way,

no glue for me!

And this is what I made...



a pretty drawstring bag!

Thanks for stopping by!

Pop over and visit my blogging friends...

Jan  @ Isisjem (tomorrow)

and Lucy @ Charm about You (the next day!)

to see what they have made...

All the link-up details, prizes and other participants 

are listed here!

You have until 30th November to get something 

made...

Go on, you know you want to!

Happy Sewing,

SUZ

  2. Such beautiful colours!!! Your star flower is wonderful and looks great on the draw string bag. I don't use glue for my EPP either but I don't sew through the paper, I just tack down the corners at the back , that way the papers pop out easily when it's time to take them out.

  8. Great job Suz, such fresh, bright colours. I think my next foray into EPP will involve that kite shape, it's very nice and versatile.

  16. Such a cute little bag! It's nice to see a finished project on this bloghop, most of the EPP will take a while to become a finished item (including mine!).
