So after blogging about my love for snail mail I recieved this in the letter box: a handmade purse and a sweet postcard from my lovely friend
Sophie in Perth. Thanks Sophie!
I love the pretty lining on the inside of the purse and notice the 'milky & rosie' label? that's Sophie brand, named after her chickens! Sophie used to sell her handmade goodies on
etsy and at her local market. You can check out some of her work
here. I'm trying to encourage her to continue to do so after she finish her Archeology thesis :o)
After following up on some sewing blogs and recieving Sophie's present, I'm feeling all inspired to sew again. It had been months since I last touched my sewing machine and my pile of fabrics is sadly collecting dust! Anyways starting with baby steps, this is what I sewed on the weekend:
I didn't make the whole bag though. I got this free canvas bag from a company stall at the Careers Fair. Of course it had to have the company's logo and website on it so what I did to cover it up was sew on some thick like-coloured scrap material I had lying around. I decided to sew on some lace too you know to make it 'pretty' - what do you think?
