Hi everyone, I hope you like my latest make, Tea Towel Totes. Easy tote bags made from 2 tea towels, totally reversible and a simple gusset base.
Great for beginners to sewing, have a go! I made the blue red and yellow ones from M&S tea towels and the dotty and stripey ones from NEXT tea towels, it beats drying the dishes!

brilliant well done

What great makes Thank you for showing them to us

Wow, I *love* the tea towel bags!  What a fantastic idea.  Reckon I’d be able to do one of those.  I love making bags, so a great easy project for me to try.  Thanks for sharing.  Love your ragdoll too, what a cutie.  And the book covers - awesome!   They look brilliant.  I’ve seen some in a magazine recently and yours are easily as good if not better.

I just finish a little bear and I’m busy making a table runner :)
The bear is completly made by hand, even the clothes, I see now that he had still some cat hair on his pants sorry

I have the same trouble with cat hair.
It gets everywhere!!!

What a gorgeous little fellow, Cristel!!

Thank you for your reaction, I have two cats and they love everything I make and want to lay down on it.
So of course cat hair everywhere. When I have to cut fabric I just can do it when they are sleeping, otherwise
the use the fabric as a sleeping place.

More pics on my bloggy, I can only fit one in x

Lovely cross-stiching too!
You are so very organised as well!

If your pics are too big you might be able to resize them on your pc,
or copy and paste them into Paint and save as a jpeg.
That sometimes works.

Some fol say that if they put them on their blog first,
and then save the posted pic an image on their desktop, that makes it more compact.
Worth trying!

Remember you can also post your sewing makes again on the sewing thread too!
