I'm after an embroidered anchor to sew on a bag I'm making for my grandaughter. It needs to be about 4 - 6 inches high. Has anyone got any suggestions where I could get one one please? I'm in Surrey if that helps, or are there any online retailers that might have one please. I've looked on ebay but can't see anything - maybe I need to put a different phrase in the search.

TIA

Try Anchor applique

eg: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Navy-Blue-Embroidered-Anchor-Iron-On-Appliques_W0QQitemZ390197439149QQcmdZViewItem?rvr_id=208464572861&rvr_id=208464572861&cguid=a544e32a12d0a0a9ef20f840ff55d12f#ht_500wt_922

I've only managed to sew some sock monkeys lately. Think the weather has taken the spring out of my step!
There is another one on my blog

Lovely makes everyone....was away for a few days and the thread moves on so quick!
I'm still putting of my sewing machine. I think tomorrow will be the day though :undecided
I'm nervous about cutting the fabric for my bag. I got a pattern from my local shop and it's cotton material. Does anyone have any tips? Or is it just a case of pinning the pattern and cutting? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
