I've been sewing

I bought a new sewing machine last year, but other than some roman blinds for our new kitchen, and a bag for my sister's birthday in January, I hadn't really used it. I'd really enjoyed making the bag, so when I read an article about Hamble & Jemima in Simply Homemade magazine I was drawn to their website and bought a kit for the reversible Three Way Sling Sac.

I decided not to make mine reversible, but to use the two prints in a different way, then I added a pin-on shabby chic flower cut with a Tim Holtz die. I'm so pleased with the result.

I'd had the fabric for another Simply Homemade project - a double sided applique apron - for ages, but after making the bag I got on with the apron too. I did make this reversible. Quite a lot of effort for something I will mainly just wipe my hands on!
