:T i think this is a brilliant idea. let us know the link when you do - i was telling family friends about your piggy pouches today (they have a few piggies and 2 bunnies) and they thought it was a totally wonderful idea.


umm I have put the link to Folksy on my blog, and my blog link can be found under my name:) thank you for telling people about them :A



:T that's really nice. :T i made one a while back, but got the length of the pockets a bit big so they dangle a bit much:o. luckily i'd only attached that bit with safety pins so could remove it. it's now pinned elsewhere and i can carry the pincushion to whatever chair im using thus stopping me using the arm of the chair itself. here's mine, made from ikea samples, a bit of old sheet from nan, and some felt, rice and wadding:

hmm i like this too, maybe i should make one as i use the arm of the chair or my clothes at mo

morning all
i have a couple of craft fairs in next few months and wondered if anybody has any ideas of what is selling? we used to do lots of nappie cakes but i am sick of them now. I have been making some peg bags and door stops but any ideas would be welcome

Some lovely makes on here, I love the pin cushions and the gift card holder is a really nice idea.
I have been making more little lavender mice and a pouch to keep my hard drive in (I can't bring myself to buy something I can make myself):

Well done on your first sock monkey swimmum:T and i love the bag.
Bunny i think i'm going to have to try and make something like that for my desk in the study.

I haven't done much sewing over the wekend as the weather has been glorious. i did make another lazy days skirt though :-

Lovely Dizzy and your daughter seems over the moon! The fabric is lovely, where's it from?

dizzytina

Thanks Tete the material is from Dunelm and it is in the half price sale at the moment so it only cost £1.98/metre. Its worth having a look as they have some lovely fabric on the sale. You can order on line if you don't have a store nearby

Tete_en_l'Air

Ah thanks Tina - that's so cheap! *off to Google Dunelm*

ETA - Aha! There's one on my doorstep! I didn't even know. AND it's open til 8pm.....
