My first commission

I was asked by a relative to make a coin purse using the cute blue and white duck fabric. I decided to make a more advanced on than my pervious attempt that was for myself as I found the button tricky to keep opening and closing. So I decided to fit a zip instead , I used a hand stitch to fit it. I am still not brave enough to use my machine to sew to a zip yet.

cross stitch for new born

I got the idea from a magazine but changed some the design and simplified the colour scheme. I then personalised it by adding the name of the baby and the date of birth. I am really happy with how the shape of the rabbit came out.

My first Pinterest

So I was looking at craft blogs when I came across this http://mylovebumps.blogspot.com/p/pinterest-challenge.html
And decided to take the challenge...
So I made a cushion. One side is patchwork made of cute flower fabric squares I got from Ebay and the 2nd side is a lovely red fabric with small yellow flowers on it.

I now can't wait till the First Monday of March so that I can make something different again...
