2009 Diaries

These pocket diaries are covered in Japanese Yuzen paper and contact and would make a beautiful but inexpensive gift for Christmas, or any other time.

Baby blocks

Here are a few baby blocks I've just made - Japanese and vintage print fabrics, with ribbon tags. There are really light filled with polyester fibrefill so can be handwashed and are very light for a baby to hold. They also have a bell inside.

Little girl's necklace

This necklace is for a little girl aged 2-6 and has a cute cat charm on pink leather. It also has an extension chain so the length can be adjusted by about 5cm.

Happy Birthday Zali

This is a picture of our cute little friend, Zali. She is wearing a Ruby Lime t-shirt I made her for her birthday, and a necklace made for her by Holly.

Pewter pendants

These pewter pendants look really great in the light and the patterns look 3D. I have made leather necklaces to go with them.

Bookmarks and Keyrings

Here are a few bookmark and keyrings I've just made. Most of them have hand made paper beads, including the seahorse ones, whose beads are made from the Gladstone tourist map.

Girl's bag

Holly has claimed this bag!

This calico tote bag for a little girl is lined with bright pink cotton and has a cupcake patch and a pink gingham strap. A perfect size to take shopping or to a friend's house or could be used as a library bag. This bag measures approx 30 x 30cm.

Soft baby block

This cute baby block is made with the 'Dick and Jane' fabric range by Michael Miller. It reminds me of when I was in Year 1, or 'First Class' as it used to be called. I also used some Japanese fabric and ribbon to make this and with a bell inside it's a light and interesting toy for a baby to look at and touch. This one is for a present for a very cute little boy, but I have a feeling I'll be wanting to make more of these...

boys t-shirt with vintage patch

This t-shirt is for a custom order with the vintage print fabric patch. I have a limited number of boys brown t-shirts which look great with these old style alphabets and numbers.

Purses in oranges

Have a look at some of these beautiful fabrics. I love the mushrooms and the dogs! Can you guess which one used to be a pillow case?

Keyring

This keyring is made from paper beads I made from the Gladstone Tourist Map!!

Coin purses

More coin purses, denim on the back and PVC covered fabric on the front. Zip is 13cm long.

PVC Covered clutch purses

These purses are denim on one side and a designer fabric on the other. The patterned side is also covered in PVC so you don't have to worry about it getting dirty. These purses are fully lined with a small handle on the side. You could use these for a purse, make-up bag, a funky pencil case or to keep other things in just because you love the fabric and really want one! I love making these purses as I get to use so many different amazing fabrics (good excuse to buy more!). The zip in these purses is 18cm long but I can make them any size if you want something different.
