jentwinkle: New things!

My blog has had a little makeover - I was bored of pink and flowery!

First of all, I made my little Daisy some pj bottoms. They are nice and baggy, and made of gorgeous floral flannel. They match the dress of the dolly I made a few weeks ago. The pj bottoms were so easy, I used this tutorial. I plan on making a few more pairs for her, and some for her big brother when I get some more boyish flannel.

I've been looking at making soft toys for a while now, this is a mini version of what will hopefully be my first pattern. Arthur the owl is made from felt, but I plan on using cotton or fleece for the bigger version. I love him!

Also during my felt-adventures I whipped up a couple of Christmas decorations. A christmas tree with red french knot baubles and a sad gingerbread man! He just needs a little loop on his head and he's done.

Another bag, this time using some Amy Butler upholstery fabric and a floral cotton for the lining. I decorated this one with some white ric-rac and buttons. I made a thinner-than-usual strap for this one, I think I prefer it to the wider one.

I've got a whole load of bag pieces waiting to be assembled so will hopefully have some more pics up after the weekend.
