Unicorn pillow cushion

A very quick sew, a perfect stash buster and of course, the best gift ever!

I made this Unicorn Pillow/Cushion from a FREE pattern with fabric from my stash. It was so easy, that it's done in a hour or so. If you wanted to make a few at once, it'd be really easy too and I kinda cheated and cut the eyes from felt & glued them in place - so no stitching means quicker project!

I used glitter felt for the horn, turns out I had a few sheets in my stash!

Get the FREE pattern here and make some up now!  This is going into my 'gift cupboard' as it's for Laney's birthday in September.

Prof. Joe aka I've just sewn a Lab Coat!

Hot off my sewing machine this week is a coat for Joe.

Technically, it's supposed to be a 'dress-ups' Lab coat but I thought he'd really like the coat in colour so he can use it when he's outside gardening & helping Dad.

I think he looks super cute in it, he even found some fake glasses to make him look more professor-like!

The fabric is just perfect for it, it gets cold here so the thicker Drill fabric adds the right amount of warmth without being too bulky,

This is a fun pattern to make, you can get it here ..and even better, it's a Freebie!

And now to make things even, I've got to go make Laney a quick rainbow skirt!

Have an awesome weekend!
Rie.

A Mothy Retreat Bag

I do believe, that this bag is one of the best ones that I've made!

One of my recent makes is this: The Retreat Bag by Emmaline. It's a free pattern (over here) and you just need some bag frames which you can get them direct from Emmaline. I if you live in Australia like I do, then you get them from here as well.

The bag is perfect for a project bag because it opens up super wide - love it!

 

This is the large size and ohmygosh, it makes the perfect knitting/crochet bag!  I actually made this bag for a friend, we did a crafty swap!  

The the awesome fabric (which is what my friend fell in love with) is from this designer and I grabbed the perfect handbag zipper from here as well as the fusible fleece.

Do you have a favourite project bag? Is it one you made or is it one you bought?
