The Winner of the #BayBohoSelfie Competition is.......

I have to say I am blown away at the love out there for the Bay Boho Bag, my most recent pattern. The bags I am seeing popping up everywhere are just devine! I have received a number of messages from customers saying that they love this pattern as they have never sewn a bag before and are finding it a challenge but not too complicated. They are trying welt zipper pockets and using hardware for the first time. This makes my heart sing......so THANKYOU!

As part of the launch of the Bay Boho Bag Pattern, I decided to run a competition with a difference..... You can read about it here in my blog post.

I want to say a HUGE thank you to Craft Boxes for including the Bay Boho as part of the September Sew Box and for the amazing prize for this comp! Check this box of gorgeousness out - this is what the winner will receive along with some extra patterns from me!

  This is my version of the Bay Boho using the contents of the September Sew Box above. This fabric is devine!

I wanted to share with you all the entries in the #baybohoselfie competition. Here we go:

THANKYOU everyone for entering! Each of your bags is amazing.

And now for the winner.....I hate choosing....so I let random.org do that for me.

THANKYOU so very much! The launch of the Bay Boho Bag Pattern has blown my mind. I am so very grateful that you love this bag as much as I do! Your support of my work means more than you will ever know, so thank you.

This launch has been made all the more exciting with this pattern being included in the September Sew Box Subscription Boxes.

They are inspirational and such a fun surprise for anyone who loves sewing. 

On that note.....do you want to see what is in them? Here you go:

How pretty is it! To tell you the truth I think these are a bargain for what you get in them but it is the surprise factor that really sells it. (Who doesn't love a sewing surprise!)

So, I have taken the contents of this box and made myself a Bay Boho, the fabric is so inspiring for Spring I could not wait to get cracking. So here she is:

Pretty Pretty don't you think!

So much to sew, so little time.

Time just seems to be flying by at the moment, Easter has been and gone as have the school holidays. I have been really busy with a few new patterns behind the scenes while trying to get organised for mother's day.

The kids easter eggs have been getting me through some late nights....shhhh

Pattern Design is at its best when cups of tea and chocolate are involved :)

I thought I would share some of my recent projects with you.

With Mother's Day just around the corner, our school asked for donations to be sold on the P&C stall (for kids to buy their mums). So I came up with these cute little tissue holders, such a simple project.

I didn't use a pattern, just made it up as I went along. If your interested I will make a quick blog post another time on how to make these. Such a great way to use up scraps and I think they look cute to boot!

Tissue holders, for this small packets of tissues you always lose in your hadbag, how cute are they!


 

I have also been making a number of hanging dish towels as Mother's Day Gifts. Practical and stylish, I just love these. You can never have enough! Sew your own in time for mothers day, the pattern (Granny Chic Kitchen Essentials Pattern) is available on my website for only $6.50 AU.

My Facebook group is growing at a fast rate, you can join in the fun, share your projects sewn from my patterns and be the first to find out about upcoming patterns and testing opportunities. Here is the link if you would like to join.
