Miss Pixie you have been busy. Love the matching stuff (especially like the little zipper pouch) That fabric is lush (as is the gift wrap). x

Thank you I am going to try and finish all my easter bunnies this weekend and make a start on a mothers day present for my grandma. No idea what to make her though so just trawling through tutorials.

I LOVE your cushion Pootle :T as you now know it's not so had to do patchwork will we see more

MissPixie I love your pouch and tissue cover, the fabric is lovely
I love making those pouches (I have made about 20 of them now )

I never did get around to doing any sewing today Ive been busy listing more clothes on ebay for fabric funds :rotfl: but there is always tomorrow.

Yes they do. To my knowledge it is only Burda that don't unless some one knows otherwise

The last Burda pattern I bought had seam and hem allowances included (about time!) and I think most or all of them now do. It's listed on the front of the pattern.

seeing misspixies projects earlier it reminded me that i wanted to make the little makeup bag that ive seen hart make sevral times.

so tonight i decided i would do one for myself to keep a few bits of makeup in, in my bathroom draw.

well what on the face of it should have been a simple and quick project turned out to be a pain in the 'you know what'

details on my blog but here it is anyway

I love it Lots of spots going on here at the moment!

I had to unpick my zip because it was super wonky and I accidentally ran the needle over the metal end bit woops made an awful noise and scared the hell out of me but it came together in the end

Looking forward to finishing uni so I can do lots more wedding sewing although all those meters of bunting to be made seems a bit daunting. Plan for tomorrow sew more easter bunnies and decide what on earth to do for mothers day. Ideas welcome!

Your little pouch is lovely :T
I know what you mean about simple little jobs turning out to be a pain as quite oftern my bobbin will run out half way or about 3 cm from the end
Im not sure if you know about this place but she shows how to make a small zip fit

hi

yes ive made that one in the past a couple of times too.

but didnt think about adding the extra bits on last night, i think i was tired and not thinking straight and probably shouldnt have done any sewing, but ive made made anything all week and just felt the need to sew.

my own fault i suppose never mind i will know for next time
