I have been crafty

It seems like ages since I posted anything crafty. I have been busy doing some small projects but the weather has been terrible so taking photos hasn't been an option. With the rain looking like it will continue for some time I took some photos inside tonight so they are not the best but you can get the picture at least.

Firstly this little bunny Lilac. She is for a gift so I won't say who she is for but I loved making it and I think there will be lots more bunnies on the horizon.

Next this very, very basic tote. I sometimes take crafty projects to work and have been taking things in plastic bags so hopefully this will do the job a bit better. It was very quick as it's not even lined but it suits what I wanted it for. I stitched my Brown Owls name on the front too. it was made from a vintage sheet I picked up at the op shop recently.

Then I made this sewing holder. I tried to use the pattern from here but it really perplexed my for some reason so I ended up making it like a pencil/notepad holder and next time I will change it even more to make it simpler. I used the embroidery pattern from Kootoyoo though and it was great. I stitched my Faraway embroidery onto the front.

And finally I have been making envelopes from vintage children's books. I will probably pop these onto Made It soon

Oh Cass that bunny looks so snuggly - lovely! Chenielle is so soft. Great embroidery too - love the sewing tote.

The bunny is very cute, she looks perfect for cuddling. The vintage sheet is perfect for your tote, I've seen similar sheets I've thought of grabbing to make bags with also.

When I was about 10 I had a sheet set in that very same print as used on your sewing organiser.
It looked love teamed with my purple and hot pink quilted bedspread!

I have that same vintage sheet in my vintage fabrics box I also have one in the yellow and orange print. Both of which I picked up at an Op shop.

Oh you have been good. I reckon I have seen that print as well. Sheets you say. Quite likely. My collection of faraway Brown Owl stuff is still sitting in the seqing box. I did find a bag in the Guide Hall that I'm going to schooz up though.
