Sew: Crochet Hook Roll

Sew: Crochet Hook Roll

Today I will be showing you how to make your own crochet hook roll or organiser or case (whatever you want to call it). I made one of these for my friend as a Christmas present. I got a bit carried away with the sewing so I forgot to blog it. However, this gave me an excuse to make one for myself and blog it for you to read.

Sew: Lined Drawstring Bag.

Sew: Lined Drawstring Bag

Boy, do I have news for you?!

Abakhan are selling Liberty Cotton Tana Lawn at 11.24 p/m. Yes, you heard that right. Only 11.24 p/m which is half price! This has got to be the best thing since sliced bread. I had never sewn with Liberty fabric before but I've heard such great things about it. This fabric has such a unique feel and look to it, it is unbelievably soft. So if you want to grab this beautiful fabric (or another Liberty Tana Lawn) at a bargain price it is online at Abakhan from today. Get it while you can because once it's gone it's gone.

Sew: Lined Tote Bag

Sew: Lined Tote Bag

Today I'm going to be showing you how to sew your own lined tote bag. My sister (Hannah) and I decided to have a sewing day. We carried our sewing machines down to the dining room and set up camp there. We each sewed a lined tote bag. It is a really simple project and would definitely make a great gift. I would say that this project is perfect for this time of year for days down the beach. However we haven't really had the best weather so far this summer. Hopefully it will perk up soon! Anyway, that's enough about the weather... on with the tutorial.

Wire Wrap Headband

Recently I've noticed that I'm totally loving gingham, when used for clothing I find it's the kind of thing you can dress up or down. It's very versatile and I'd also say it's unisex. One of the best things about gingham is that its CHEAP! I made my first wire headband to match my Gingham Skater Skirt (blog post coming soon), I picked up my gingham from Abakhan. I made two of these headband, one gingham one bird print. This was SUCH a quick and easy project, I'm going to make lots more of these in the future!
