Gifts Given and Received

My 'arty' friends and I like to hand make something as a gift for Christmas.
So I had my drawings printed onto linen fabric to make tea-towels. The edges were stitched.
These are photos of the actual fabric.





These are images of the design




These are the handmade gifts from my friends


I also made these fabric tissue pouches for other friends. Four of the fabrics are my designs.

Sewing


These are some items I made last year which I never told you about.
A crazy patchwork peg bag made from vintage fabrics with a long handle so that you can slip it over your shoulder while pegging.



I made two tote type bags out of some upholstery fabric I had in my drawer which will come in handy now that we have the bag charge in the shops.
I've not lined the bags as it is quite a thick material and its a nice yellow on the underside.

One is quite tall and slender the other is not as tall but wider.



The tissue holder was made from a fabric swatch from Woven Monkey UK

Tissue Pouches


I made quite a few tissue pouches for gifts, these are a few of them. They hold the handy size handbag packets of tissues. I used vintage fabrics for them, some more vintage than others. If you want to make some there are lots of tutorials on Pinterest.


I think the oldest fabric is the light blue floral, I had a dress made of the same fabric when I was a little girl.
