Santa Sack Swap 2016 - Part 2

So I have shared with you all the wonderful gifts that I received from Mary in the Santa Sack Swap and this post is all about what I made and sent to her in return. 
After reading Mary's blog about her love of nativity sets I wanted some of her gifts to have that theme. I found a lovely nativity themed fabric on eBay which then sat in my sewing room whilst I decided what I would I make. Part of the swap is to make either a sack, a stocking  or a bag. As Christmas is a busy time for Mary I thought a bag might be more useful so I made a nice roomy tote, which Mary has told me fits perfectly on her mobility scooter so she is going to use it all year round. For some reason I didn't a photo of the bag but you can see it in the last picture showing all the gifts I made Mary. I still had a little bit of the nativity fabric left over so I decided to make a cushion.


I added a little sparkle to the cushion with some stars sequins, 


and used red beads to pick out the berries. 


I really liked the words on this fabric and used a red embroidery hoop from my stash to make a hanging ornament. 


I tend to get a bit carried away with themes and this swap was no different, so continuing with the nativity theme I used my Cricut cutting machine to make this nativity vinyl decal and popped it on this glass jar. 


I added a ceramic star tag to bring a little Joy. 


The next part of the swap had me stumped for a while, I know Mary likes to craft from the comfort of her armchair so I decided to make an armchair caddy and a project bag,


but what colour to make and what fabric to use? After a little more stalking on Mary's blog I managed to find out that dusky pink might just be okay. 


 Here are all the gifts that I made for Mary


This is a super swap to take part in so if you fancy joining in this year pop over to Cheryll's Santa Sack Swap blog for more details.

  4. Getting a good bag is important, especially if you know that you are going to be outside a lot and on the move. While some people prefer to have traditional school bags for keeping their items, shoulder bags can be a very stylish alternative. These bags often make you look more sophisticated and more stylish. It is also likely that canvas bags will go with a lot more outfits that school bags do. lequeen diaper bags
