A couple of finishes and a farewell :)

So before all my fabric and sewing machines were all packed away and taken to the new house in Wales on Wednesday, I did manage to squeeze in two final projects. This one started out as a cushion for my friend's son's teacher but I wasn't feeling it so I turned it into a shopping bag for me! You have to pay 5p per carrier bag in Wales so this bag should carry plenty of bags when we go shopping:


A little pocket inside for more bags! I do love to shop :)



And here is the finished cushion:



And here is my empty sewing room ... gulp! 



Very excited about unpacking them -15 boxes in the new house on Sunday and creating a whole new sewing space ...

Linking up with Amanda Jean and Sarah :)

  2. Your pillow is gorgeous and your sewing room is ... so empty. It's sad to see it. Is a move to Wales a big move? From here in Ohio, it seems like it must be. I remember a year or so ago you showed us at least one house you were looking at. Is that the one you're moving too? Will you show us photos of your new home -- or at least your sewing room? I hope your move goes smoothly and that you get settled in quickly. Take care.
