Ruffle Bag Pattern

Sunday 22 May 2011

Flower clips finished

Hi I have had a bit of a busy day today.  Managed to get the shopping done, house tidied (with the help of hubby) and my 1st items listed on ebay. 

I used the flower pattern that I have previously posted and attached them to some small metal clips.



I've put a few sets of booties on and a headband as well as a clutch bag so we'll see how it goes.

I fancy making up a pattern for a coffee cosy as well, I'm hoping they might go down well for fathers day.

Basic flower

Morning

I still haven't finished the first side of my new bag yet. Taking my time cause I want it to look good n also resting a lot so this throat infection goes away. Once I get a bit further I'll update u with the pictures n the details.

Update

I don't know when I'll be updating you with my latest project cause it's taking a while to make. I'm making a ruffle bag for this summer (if we get one). I looked up a pattern of how to do the ruffles on redheart.com. I have taken the basics off the pattern n am making the rest up as I go along.

Teddy

Sorry I didn't get chance to blog on wednesday. Had the worst day ever, nothing went right.
This teddy is made from a wonderful kindle pattern : brown sugar thread crochet bear pattern Edith Molina

I did get a bit confused on the first round on the foot but overall a very good pattern. Well worth the price.

Headband




Made this headband today.  Still need to make a flower to put on it but so far looking good.  I need a lot more practice at the puff stitch.  I followed the pattern on the following link but just made it slightly thiner.

Really good, easy to follow instructions.  The pattern works out really well, would recommend it to anyone that fancies a really nice headband.
