Pay it forward.

I'm sure that a fair few of you read Fii's wonderful blog and have seen that she's doing a pay it forward. I'd decided last night that I would do my own whether I was chosen for hers or not.
So here it is!

The rules are simple:

I will make a handmade gift for the first 3 interested people who comment on this post. I have 365 days to do it in...You must have a blog to join in and be willing to do the same for three other people...

I will leave this open until Sunday night (that's the 25Th) and if by some miracle I actually have more than 3 people sign up and show there interest, I'll use a random pick of 3. It does say that you have a year to send off. But I'll most likely do it this weekend or the next, and send my goodies out ASAP! I'm very sorry, but I'm going to have to restrict this to people living in Australia only. I'd like to include everyone, but I just don't have the cash for international mail at the moment. Sorry!!

Just comment here and I'll email out to those who got picked on Sunday night, or Monday morning.

Hope everyone is having a fantastical week!

The reveal.

This post has been a long time coming for me, and I'm very excited to show my creations off now!

I actually made this for my sister months ago, and it's been sitting in my linen closet just waiting for a home. It was very tricky as my second quilt, and it's a bit "special" if you look at it too closely. But I love it and I'm very proud of it.




The thing that I like the most I think is the binding. I used the lovely Fii's tutorial from her blog. And the result is ace! It makes the whole thing look about 100% better I think.



My mum just started working again after a few months off in between jobs and I made her this bag from the always favourite Bend the Rules sewing. It was quick to put together really and I think it's turned out pretty nice. I really like the fabric. One question though. Does anyone know what flannel facing is? I interpreted it as wadding, but I'm still not totally sure.



And lastly here are some litlle zipper pouch make up bag thingys that I made for Damien' sisters. We tucked a few choccies and a gift card in them all. They turned out cute!

Did everyone else give and recieve some nice handmade gifts? I'd love to see!!
