Did I ever post about my obsession with bags? Any kind? Little miss P has the same obsession so I've been working on several different things. This apple pencil case was a present for a good friend of Miss P's .
I meant to make little miss one too but didn't get roung to it till this week (bad mother!!).
I made hers out of some very precious japanese fabric I bought at great cost and which depicts her favourite disney princess/costume/story of 2009, sleeping beauty!! Of course I screwed it up a bit(as I always do with expensive fabrics). Still, she won't notice on christmas day when she tosses it aside in favour of brightly coloured noisy plastic!!
If you look closely you can see I even made little zip cover tabs! Ooooerrr missus!
But it didn't stop there oh no sireee! I just couldn;t stop making bags!
My next experiment was a clutch that I've been wanting to make for oh so long! Its the first thing in a long long time that I have made in one sitting, from design, to completed project. I even threw caution to the wind and went straight in with a liberty print which I never, ever do when I'd designing. I'm never this reckless with my much loved liberty!
I was so pleased with the way it came out. Methinks clutches will become a present for many a good friend in 2010! Im also going to turn it into a pattern...... at some point!

The final entry into my portfolio of clutches is this little work in progress. I can't take credit for the design its a shameless of copy of one I saw on a much loved blog (when I learn how to add links I'll drop one in!!) Is it ok to copy for personal use and then blog about it? Anyway, its destined for a little friend of miss p's from santa!!
