Part Second ...

So on to the next project I completed for Christmas...

It's a bag I made from a See & Sew Butterick pattern, No.B5273.  I used upholstery fabric and lined it with calico, and used canvas strap for the handle, instead of making it out of the material.  The lining also contains 2 pockets. I think it worked better than the material would have.  I like it so much I'm going to make myself one too! I made this for my bestie Karen in Sydney.



Next project was ... Tableware for my sister.  This was a design of my own, using a fat quarter bundle I bought from Spotlight. I cut each fat quarter into four 9.5" x 10" squares. I didn't use all the squares on the front as I had what I needed with the 4 x 6 square size. I also made a heat pad to go with the tablecloth.

This is the reverse side, with the inbuilt table runner.
