My daughter really needed a new bag to take to her Irish dancing classes, and I thought that the Phoebe Bag would be perfect.

The fabric I used is some vintage stuff I found on holidays, although I have a sneaking suspicion it might be Ikea.

I used red gingham for the lining, and I like the contrast with the grey.

 

The bag is just the right size for her "poms", water bottle, phone, and a little lip gloss.

This pattern is really nice and easy to follow. what makes it even better is that Its also a free tutorial which can be found here.

And do go and check out loads of lovely creativeness here.

This week I am making a baby quilt.

Its for a boy, and I've used the last of my Paddington Bear fabric, which is pretty cool. I appliqued a little gingham elephant onto it.

Its pinned to the wadding & the backing , ready to be quilted. I will be adding binding to it made from this great tutorial from Burdastyle, and using the rest of the blue stripey fabric. Its the best tutorial ever on making continuous bias tape.

Will post finished pictures next week. And check out lots more creativity here.

This week I am playing along here.

Its a quilt for my Dad.

I have the top done. Each block is 7 inches in size. The quilt has been on my list of things to get started for ages. I plan to add some dark green sashing all around.

And then I only have to quilt it and add the binding, not my favorite part. This is the biggest quilt I've ever done, it will be 50 X 60 when done, so the quilting should be interesting. I hope he will like the colours.
