Animal canvas

I love making things for my daughter and as she is learning words now, I decided to create her a new canvas for her room with some animal words on it.  She chose the animal MDF shapes from 'The Range' and I chose the blue wallpaper to staple to the canvas.  We added the shapes to the canvas with some PVA glue and then used some letter stickers from Papermania to write the names of the animals.  All ready to hang in her room now!

MDF scrapbook 3

I've really enjoyed making my MDF scrapbook and as my sewing machine is a bit poorly at the moment, I thought I'd add some more pages from that instead.

 

 

'I love You' frame

This was one of the first things I saw on Pinterest that I thought I'd make.  It's a very simple but effective way of leaving messages for your loved one each day (or whenever you remember!). I used an old photo frame and put a piece of decorated paper inside it.  On the paper I added sticker to spell the words and then put it all together.  Used with some whiteboard pens you have a wipe clean way of leaving messages over and over again.

Quick cushion

After making the bag for my daughter from the Hello Kitty fabric, I had a bit left over so asked her what she wanted.  She decided she wanted a little cushion or pillow to take to bed with her.  I made it really simple by using just the remainder fabric and a second spotty piece for the back.  I sewed it all up face to face and then turned it the right way round. I added stuffing and then for speed just sewed it up along the open seam.  My daughter definitely enjoyed it! 

Hello Kitty Bag

My daughter loves Hello Kitty so I decided to get her some fabric to make her a little bag to carry her toys around in.

I adapted the previous design I had used to make a smaller bag which she could carry in her hand. I also decided that it would be better if I added a pocket on the inside rather than the outside so my daughter could see all the Hello Kitty design.  I therefore put the straps on the inside as well.

Large Bag

I made my first bag especially for someone else this weekend!  I was allowed to choose the material but it had to fit an A4 ring binder so I had to re-think all the sizes.  It was quite a challenge getting it right for someone else and trying to make everything straight, but I think they liked it.

Small shoulder bag

Had a go at a different bag today.  I found a website called www.crazylittleprojects.com which had a pattern for a small messenger bag.  It only took me the afternoon to make and I am really pleased with it!  I need to make something different now as I don't think I need that many bags!
