Sew loving it

EDIT: Apologies for the lack of post yesterday. Blogger must have had a fit or I am losing my mind. Maybe a bit of both. Don't despair I have many more posts scheduled for this week!

Hooray hooray another sewn project.

Although I am not a good seamstress I do like to have a go and these Twitterpated fabrics have really caught my eye!! They are so cute when they are together I can't help myself.

I bought the tote bag plain and sewed HEMMED strips across it. Yes, I even hemmed the fabric. Don't get too excited at how I've changed because I didn't hem the embellishments!!!

Here is a close up of the embellishments:

These took no time with the Big Shot to cut out. Then it was just a case of snipping some Marina Mist, Pear Pizzazz and Blushing Bride ribbons, picking out some buttons and adding a key embellishment. I know the keys are not available at the moment but it looked so cute laid out there that I had to sew it on!

Really simple and took maybe an hour. A lot of that time was spend unpinning the bits I had pinned in error!

This would make a lovely gift for a friend, sister or cousin!
