    I bought some cream fluffy towels for the first two I made.

    The last one I made using a lovely soft throw although it was a pain to see the stitches.

    How cute is that??
    I love it :T
  • I agree, very cute.

    Thanks for the comments on the curtain sheep bag. It's going away to it's new owner today. Hope she likes it.

    The bag was very easy to make.
    I cut one long piece and fold it into 3 equal lengths. This is the sides and bottom of the bag.
    I then cut out two squareish pieces that are the same height and width as the folded piece.
    Then I sewed the long piece to the square pieces.
    No fancy seems, just two rows of zigzag stitch.
