On a roll...

to get projects started and finished!

I promised my sister a Bento Bag, so I got busy and 

made this one!

I wanted to try my hand at another fabric 

envelope.....

          

          And my daughter-in-law requested some new                                

                                  burp cloths....

Finally, I hand quilted and bound my Summer 

Insects project,

in progress.....

 started back in December!

Very appropriate on a 30°C day in April! 

 Can you believe I only have ONE, yes ONE project 

on my WIPs list?

I need to remedy that soon!

Gift Envelopes

Have you started your Christmas shopping or 

sewing yet?

I have!

I 'pinned' this idea for gifting money which 

I want to use this year.

My son and daughter-in-law are going on a belated honeymoon to New York in mid-December, and I wanted to give them some spending money!

I changed the pattern a little for my own purposes 

which I show here... 

I found an envelope that "fit the bill', teased it open

and traced around it.

I marked the section where it would remain 

unstitched for turning through...

(I know I often forget this and just keep sewing!)

I found it easier to sew the button on before 

stitching the side panels closed.

It's fun finding ribbon and buttons to match!

It's also perfect for a special piece 

of costume jewellery!

Sorted!

As Kate said on IG, wouldn't it be lovely if all our 

mail looked like this?

Happy days!
