TBT – Enclosed Zipper Tutorial!
Welcome to another “Throw Back Thursday”! Once a month, I’m going to throw you back to one of my most popular blog posts, which hopefully you will find terribly exciting! The reason I’m doing this is not because I have nothing to write about (Nobody has ever accused me of being lost for words), but because since moving from Blogger to WordPress, a lot of my older blog posts have become rather “dodgy” in their set up, and really do need re-writing and … Continue Reading »

I’m pleased to say I have finished the 241 Tote today! And I’m a very happy camper…. Even though I was … Continue Reading »
Sweet Pouch Swap Finale!
I returned home yesterday from four days away to a lovely email from my new friend Barbara in Germany. She received her Sweet Pouch Swap package! So now, I can show you what was made and sent…. I took quite some time deciding what I would actually make for Barbara. I realllllllly wanted to use one of my decorative zips, but was struggling to work out how. In the end, I just pulled a Tim Gunn and “made it work”! I opened … Continue Reading »
