February Makes

I know, I know we are over half way through March already but I thought I would just show you a few of my February Makes. I haven't been able to show these before because they were gifts for either swaps or Pay It Forwards, but now they have been received I wanted to show you what I have been up to.

 I made this bag 

for Kimberley from Creative Chaos all the way over in New Zealand as part of her Pay It Forward gift, I decided rather than make three small gifts I would make one big one. I used some of this lovely red floral vintage fabric,

 I can't honestly remember who gave this fabric to me but I am lucky to have several metres of both the red and a very sunny yellow too. I teamed it with a remnant of grey corded fabric for the base

and the handles

and lined it in a bright red poly cotton before added a little tab of "Follow your Dreams" ribbon.

Kimberley and I have sent a few items to each other across the pond now, and our sons write to each other too which is lovely so as a little gift I also sent this football bag over as well.

I think I might do my makes in stages otherwise this post will go on and on and on!!! (no change there then!!) until next time........
