Perfect Match...

Now if you had the most wonderful fabric to play with, and knew a brilliant pattern that would be perfect, what else would you do but just get on with it!?

So after all my duties yesterday, I started measuring and cutting and arranging whilst all the time grinning, until I ended up with this...










Just in case you haven't kept up... this is made of my beautiful Walk In The Woods scraps received from Aneela, and follows Ayumi's wristlet tutorial... a winning combo if ever there was one!

To say I am damn happy with the result is an understatement!  Even my zip turned out OK first time - I followed Ayumi's instructions and didn't add tabs to the ends as I have been doing, and it has worked out great, I can definitely cope with slopey corners.

So I hope that was worth the wait... now I'm off to make some felt decorations... maybe.

PS. Happy Thanksgiving to all who are celebrating today xxx

    So cute - love the fabric choice. I recently bought 100 colourful zips on Ebay for £9.50 - so I better get on with some of these! I find all teens prefer gifts of money so I make an appropriate purse and put money inside - seems a welcome gift and the 'purse' is always useful for make-up, IPod, etc..
