Box bag and anna griffin fabric

A while ago now I purchased some fabric charm packs from by Anna Griffin and they have been sat in my cupboard gathering dust.  Well today I dusted them down and decided to have a go at making a cube bag as demonstrated by Debbie Shore on Create and Craft.

Watching Debbie is really inspiring and she explains everything so well, much easier than trying to follow a pattern in a book.  She has loads of sewing videos on YouTube, just put her name in the search box and they will all come up.

I even made a fabric tag for it from an old Ikea curtain, stamp by Anna Griffin.  Very quick bag to make and can be in any size, I obviously made a small one as that was the size of the pre cut squares.  You could also make it oblong by having two sides square and two sides smaller oblongs.

The only thing I need to get hold of is some bag base that she used.  I just cut up an old Graze Box which is okay but when you pull it through the right way it can get bends in it.

Happy sewing.

with love LOLO

A New Home

A little card for a work colleague who has just bought her first home with her new hubby.

How cute is this toadstool house! 

Exciting times for them.  I am told there is tea and cake for me when I visit in a few weeks, yum!
