Zippered pouch number 2

Here's my next attempt at a purse. I finally decided to do something useful with the sample swatch I got ages ago from Spoonflower that was printed with my shell illustration.

I am more pleased with this one. There was not enough from the swatch to do both sides so I used a piece of denim from an old pair of jeans for the reverse.

It's feeling very cold here in the Highlands just now, but the morning light is so beautiful just now |I can't get enough of it.

 These are all taken from my lounge window. This is looking towards our garden studio.

 It all looks so beautiful, but we have a whole lot of leaves to sweep up some time soon!

Stay warm wherever you are.

A little sewing

My darling man bought me a new sewing machine some months ago, but I have hardly touched it. I decided to put that right. Yesterday I made myself a little coin purse. I have to admit this was attempt number two. Number one is going in the trash!
I am still not happy with this one either - I'm a bit of a fusspot- so I am about to go make another one!
I intend to perfect making lined zippered pouches...I may die trying !

I also wanted to show you (show off) some CD packaging that I made for my daughter to present the wedding photos she took recently for friends.

 If you have been a follower of my blog for a while, or you know me, then you'll know that I just love, love, love to make boxes and packaging. This was the ideal project for me!

I love labels, and logos, and tags, and folding card, and making box templates.....

 
and eyelets, and ribbons, and die cuts...

...and playing with photoshop, and little details...

...anyone would think I enjoyed this project wouldn't they!

You betcha!
