I think winter is a great time for catching up on your sewing projects. I always have so many things that I want to make. :)
One of the ladies that I work with loves to knit and I thought that it would be nice to make her a zippered bag for her knitting needles. I took out some older Tilda fabric called Plum Garden and made the zippered pouch for her. I added a couple of Tilda fabric buttons and a tassel.
But I thought that it looked sort of plain, so I made a small zippered bag for her row markers and darning needles.
After working with the pretty purple fabrics, I wanted to add a lavender sachet to the gift. So I sewed up little pouches to put the lavender in and then stamped on a muslin bag and added a small yo-yo and button.
Then I stitched up a little purple bird to match. The lavender smells so nice and it makes a nice little something to tuck in a drawer or put in the clothes dryer to softly scent your clothes.
When the lavender loses its smell, you can add a couple drops of essential oils to it to re-scent it.
I love how all of the gifts came together. I added a matching card made using an old lavender stamp and some pretty purple papers. (For some reason the card didn't get photographed.)
My friend loved her gifts and said she couldn't wait to get home and arrange her knitting supplies. :)
What's next? Now I want to make more items in the pretty Tilda fabrics.
