Apart from swearing that I would post more often to my blog, I also promised myself that I would sew more often in 2010. I love sewing, I find it really therapeutic, but I spent so much time last year building my business http://www.notoriouskitsch.co.uk/ that I neglected myself and doing things just for enjoyment.
I've spent the last couple of weeks sorting through my fabric and patterns, yes it's taken me that long.
Today I sorted my fabric and rediscovered some fantastic prints that I have which I really must get around to doing something with, I'll let you know as I get round to it.
I didn't have a whole heap of time once I had done that, but I found a scrap of fabric my husband loves, he's got a laptop bag in it, and I thought, hello, there looks like there is enough here to make him a wallet. I made it, it's a bit rough, and the next one I try will definately be more refined, contain more credit card pockets and be finished off better but he's really happy!
So here it is my first attempt!

thanks Ladies I will definately post more & definately make more.
need to tweak this layout I hate it!
That is very ingenious!
I recently bought a miniature sewing machine from Urban Outfitters of all places - I have some awesome 50s fabric, but I can't bear to cut it up. It'll be a fab curtain once I've done it, but... poor fabric! No... I must be brave. I must think of the curtain, and the portiere curtain rail. And the bloody draft that comes in round my front door....
ah Helen I feel the same I hate cutting up fabulous fabric, but that's kinda the point, do it!
