Fabric Bonanza

Recently whilst staying with my nephew and his family in Leicester, I discovered a furnishing fabric shop that sells the sample books for 50p and £1.

Well I came home loaded down .... velvets, silks, linens.

I got very excited thinking about what I could make.

It took me some time to get my head around it.

My first ideas involved patchwork so I made cushion covers.

With the linens I made lavender bags ...

 .... and with tweedy type fabrics I made mice.

 I loved making these. They are my own design.

With a single sample which cost 10p, I made a new lap cushion cover.

I have other ideas brewing.

 

This teddy is ready for name guessing at Frazer`s 

school Christmas fair.

I`ve made quite a few pairs of fingerless mittens but this time I have used crochet. They are warmer.

I`ve also made small crochet bunnies.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And yet more button toadstools.

 

Tomorrow I have a stall at the village craft fair.

Some of these things will be on sale.

I am looking forward to it.
