    I nipped to the garden centre earlier... and they had different sized jute bags "whoopsed" :j ..so I grabbed the 18cmx14cm ones at just 10c each :T they are a bit darker than they look......... Now -I just have to decide what to do with them :confused: :rotfl: .....Im fighting the urge to X stitch on them :p

    Mrsmacawber, that's another lovely design, very festive. But I am a bit worried, have you left enough room to cut them out ? Or are they the back and front of a sachet?

    I must admit that would be too close for me as I often cut the fabric in the wrong place :mad:
