You are my sunshine, my little sunshine....

here is a little sneak peak of what I am working on at the moment. It is just something to keep my hands busy in the evenings, but will have a purpose in the end. I will not show you more at the moment. Most likely I will not get it finished before friday, so you will see more of it after Germany as I won't be able to bring it along with me.

Lucy absolutly loved it and wants to have it every time she sees it. She is not too impressed with the fact that she can't have it.

Hope you all had a great weekend.

Red/Orange Delight

I have finally finished the present for my cousin. About time, too. After all, I will be going to Germany next friday. At least now, I can concentrate on packing and getting the house into shape.

And this is the finished product:


I am sure you can guess by the photograph that it is a pouch. I guess it could be a clutch as well, but it was intended as something she can put make up or similar things in. But hey, I am happt for her to use it as she wishes :)


To give it extra strength I have lined it with two layers of orange felt. I also have attached two magnetic buttons to make it last longer.


As you can see it can hold a few things, like a mobile phone, lip gloss and your credit cards ;)


For the first time I have added my very own label as this is the first thing I have made and designed completely on my own since I got the labels. I love them. They look very professional. I like that its printed on gross grain and not a woven label. I can also fold them in half in sew them into something, so that they look out on the side.


If you are interested in such beautiful labels, you can get them on Mommie Made It 's etsy shop

cafetiere/french press cosy

My mum likes to drink coffee and she always uses one of those cafetieres/french presses. She has been going on and on about getting a cosy for her press so I thought I would make her one myself. I knew I wanted to use felt as it looks so warm and wooly and....well...cosy ;) It was meant to be a christmas present but I dragged it out until just two weeks before christmas. I never Made one before and wasn't sure how long it would take. But after one week of intense evening sewing this was the result:







I have'nt been sewing in years, so I was quite proud of the result. And after my sister-in-law saw it she asked me to make one for her tea pot. I will have to start this soon, as it is March now and I told her I would make it as her christmas present...oops...
