Do you remember a few months back when I showed you my 'little animal in a teacup pincushions' (must think of a snappier name!)? I wrote about them
here and asked you to suggest an animal to go in the last teacup (I like to think it's of similar importance to the 4th plinth in Trafalgar Square!).
You very kindly suggested a few differant animals such as a fox, an elephant or a bird, but I think bear got the most votes and as this blog is called Bearpaw it seemed only right.
So here he is! And he has paws! I hope you like him as I may have something in mind for him soon...
As promised here are the rest of my efforts in the bag factory (sewing room) last week.
These are 'mini bucket bags' and each has a piece of vintage linen from
that large haul I bought a few weeks back.
And each has a button from my precious collection.
In case you are wondering, that is a tiny child's chair they are hanging off, they are not giant bags! They are
8 x 12".
Excuse pavement, I couldn't get a decent photo in the shop as only had my Blackberry, so I went out in to the street!
I think you may recognise this next fabric. It is a fleecey version that I bought at Purl Soho in New York last year. It is lovely but doesn't really work in a quilt so I thought I may as well use it for a bag.
These were quite quick and fun to make but I think that is me and bags over with for a while now!
I am perservering with the Etsy shop idea (it is quite a lot of work getting it organised!) but I hope to have it 'open' for my next post, and may be offering an enticement to get you all to visit - watch this space!
Meanwhile if you fancy having a go at a great giveaway, pop on over to
Deeroo Designs blog. Dee is having a massive fabric giveaway and it is open till July 5th!
