Funky cushions....

 I've actually done some sewing for the shop over the last few days.

Miracle of miracles my back is slowly coming good.

As soon as I saw these fabrics I knew they'd be great for cushions to spruce up anyone's tired decor.

They can all be found here in my Etsy shop.

Have a great day, Kathryn. xx

Hands Free and a Winner!!!

Inspired from here and here I decided to make my own "Hands Free" handbag.

I bought this "London newspaper" fabric (from here) a couple of weeks ago and thought it perfect for the accent fabric. I used lightweight clear PVC over the top with a quilt style binding so I didn't need a teflon foot for the machine to sew with it. Also used was denim, red and white polka dots and a luggage strap - adjustable.

It isn't quite finished: "Blog Finished" as a few would say!

I shall stitch down the binding at craft tonight.

I think I'm going to love being hands free now!

Now, let's get on to the giveaway winner, I know you are all dying to find out!!
