And away we go ....( my eBay store will be closed 15 dec - 6 Jan)

Pete and are are winging our way to fabulous Hawaii in 2 weeks time, for 3 weeks of rest and relaxation.

My EBay store will be closed on the 15 Dec and reopened on 6 Jan 2015.

I would like to thank for all your support throughout this year and hope it continues in the next.

We wish you all a happy and safe Christmas.

Pete says that next year will be a boomer, so I will add " and have a boomer of a New Year"


Thanks again

Lots of new totes

I am loving the Trail Tote design by Anna Graham over at Noodlehead.com

Bernina. V Janome

I have a new sewing machine.... YAY... I have been using Bernina for the last 2.5 yrs and have just traded it in for my new Janome 8200 and I LOVE it. It has a huge 11 inch throat... And sews like a dream.



So I just had to make a quick play quilt

A little Nautical

Love the color combination here, add some colored leather, some shiny hardware, and a lovely tote emerges









On my IPad

Noodlehead trail bag

So couldn't help myself I made one of each size and the another small one with piping

Pigskin leather and Navy Cotton Duck

I have been looking for a fabulous Backpack for when we travel. The ones I loved on Etsy were expensive and made overseas. I then found this unique pattern by Colette Patterns, the pattern is called Cooper and comes in 3 different versions. The pattern recommends using waxed canvas/cotton as well as Duck Cloth, or canvas. I had a pigskin hide, so along with some Navy Duck I made version2 , the backpack. It's the perfect size and can't wait to take it to Hawaii in December.

New Nappy Bag

#Custommade

Same Fabric Different Bag

Same Fabric Different Bag.
Loved this fabric, I first made a large carryall with it and decided I hated it ..hahaha.. so I deconstructed it made these two smaller ones and loved them. Sometimes it turns out that some prints are perfect for a smaller bag... who knew... well I do now.
The satchel type has lots of pockets 2 external and 3 slip pockets inside it has a substantial flap with a magnetic snap to close. This one is a made to order and I have done quite a few in the style now...and they are quite popular, so I might make up a few more for the market... $35
plus P&H or free pick up

The other one with a rounded bottom , has darts sewn into the seam with gives it a bit of body, I tried it with the flower.. umm not so sure.. so I took it off, this cute bag is just big enough to store your phone, a small purse and some girl essential, it does not have any pockets and will sell for $25 plus P&H

Small childs apron
