New Look 6803

Sunday afternoon I decided to use this Amy Butler 'Nigella' home decor weight fabric for New Look 6803. Now, it's not my usual colour pallete, but I love it none the less.

The pattern itself is so simple in its' construction ie; no zip, a few darts and simple neck interfacing, and it was made in just over an hour.

 I have to say though, without the belt it does look like a bit of a sack.

 Simple, no zip

A couple of darts et voila!

It's very comfortable and will be great for summer.

What have you been making for summer?

Running out of time.....?

Is there anyone else who feels like they are running out of time when it comes to Christmas? Well, I most certainly do! I still have 5 presents to make. So, I need some gifts that don't take much time to make.

Here is 1 I finished this morning....A wristlet.

It's for a friend of mine who is always carrying around her keys and mobile phone because she hates handbags!!! Can you believe it? Well, I hope this will help make her life a little bit more hands free!!

This is a quick and easy present to make - this one took me only 1/2 hour from start to finish.
This one is made with some Amy Butler fabric I have had for ages and not known what to do with it. IThey aren't really my colours but I loved the combination together and I know "she" will like it.
It measures 8 1/2" x 6 1/2", I used an 8" zipper and cut 5 strips, 2" wide and 8" long.
Too easy!!! There is a tutorial on my sidebar if you'd like to know how to make one for yourself....You will just need to add the handle.

I think I'll make some more!
