Some new things

Not so laughable (Jackie!), that I'm becoming a bag lady!!  lol.
I've just listed these bags in my Nest in The Attic stores on Madeit and Etsy(buttons in side column if you're interested, and thanks heaps if you are! xxx)

Made from a pre-loved cotton top which has been batiked or screen printed.

All fashioned around the cherry fabric. I found a small piece and knew it would look good in something!!! I think it's upholstery fabric.

Another re-purposed piece of clothing. Stretch denim skirt. Love that word! re-purposed..... I've shown this one on the blog previously, but the pic wasn't a very good one. But neither are all these I don't think.
For some reason lately when I load my pics up on the blog they seem to get a fuzzy look about them that isn't there in the pics in my stores! A tad annoying. Anyone else having this problem? Or is it just me doing something wrong?!
This one will go up once I can decide on a clasp or closure or sumpin'! It has to close somehow. I'm sure I'll work it out.

I've started making some more of these in slightly different shades than previously. So loving the burgundy  for the red apple. and the vintage tablecloth is a fab match don't you think? Once I've sewn on the leaf, this one will go up in the store too. Probably tonight or tomorrow.
Have to do the leaf by hand coz I keep making the mistake of sewing the potholder together BEFORE I've machine appliqued it on!!!  Grrrrr....  :)))

  5. Pam, Oops! I'm back to try again. Love all the bags. My favorite one is the cherry theme, it's so cute with all the layers. I'm a re-purposed fan and I also like to use the word up-cycled. Hugs, Linda
