Thankyou, I'm making jean bags at the moment, but am looking to make other stuff too, but I'm no good at comprehending instructions so they need to be easy.

I was thinking childrens bandanas too? out of the scraps left? are they easy to make?

My DD's prom bag She wanted a small bag just to put her phone and her camera in so I made her this, it the pleated pouch by Skip to my Lou http://www.skiptomylou.org/2010/04/27/pleated-pouch-tutorial/ I just added a wrist strap

The fabric is turquoise satin to match her dress and it has zip detail so I added the silver fringing to the bag

I ironed some ultra light interfacing to the outer fabric and some medium to the lining as it was a pain to cut the fabric otherwise

I can't belive she has now finished school apart from the odd day for exams she is now at home where did the years go

Thank you Sharon
You think I would be ok about it as I have 2 grown up boys (men now) and a younger son but being my little girl its different (she will hate me thinking of her as little :rotfl:)

I must get on with my star quilt now I have done all my UFP's

whoa Hart - that bag is terrrrrrrrific - I am sooo envious - its totally beautiful


Am I allowed to be cheeky as I think I just have been - I have just put a long post on my blog all about shabby chic kitchens - hopes and dreams/inspirations - and to start it off I have borrowed a Home sign that I think I got from either here or the shabby chic thread - I cannot for the life of me think who put it up and I dont know if they made it or if they borrowed it - I want to give credit to them if it was theirs or remove if they didnt want me to place it = I also wondered if anyone had any ideas and inspirations of their own that they wanted to share - can I be really naughty and ask you to have a peek and let me know what you would love if you were doinga shabby chic kitchen - thank you Elaine x

Wow you have all been busy again I see. Hart, that little bag is georgeous!

Rummer if you google tutorials for a pompodour you can just adapt it to the size you need. (they have circular bottom and drawstring and its up to you how much fabric you use for the depth. )

I just tried cutting my squares for the star quilt but Ive had to give up as my hand is still not up to it yet and Im not cutting accurately
