Fox Caddy, Raccoon Case, Squirrel and Dotty Clutch

Fox Caddy, Raccoon Case, Squirrel and Dotty Clutch


This week I have been fortunate to have time to sew every day and wanted to share the joy with you. Here is what I made.

Fox Caddy


 This is a new fox design, with more detail.
I am pleased with how he came out, I made his legs out of wool felt: they are soft and 3D.

I had some leftover fabrics from the Acacia Blue line I bought back in July and made a small case for an e-reader or tablet.

Raccoon Tablet Case

 The eyes of that raccoon are magical, I swear he can see me!

A Squirrel Basket 

This basket was made with blue edging on the top of the pockets, using my Fabric Basket Tutorial for the lovely London fabric shop The Village Haberdashery. It is written for absolute beginners, if you can sew a line (preferably straight) you can do it!

I am so proud how I patiently stitched that blue edge in the ditch and did not go over.It is my challenge this year to become more accurate and precise, getting it right first time, instead of my tendency to rush and end up ripping seams later.

Polka Dot Clutch and Strap

 This fits a pack of baby wipes and a few diapers, for a chic solution to changing baby on the go...

...and it matches the Dotty Taupe Basket


I have two more new foxes designed and the patterns cut, ready to be sewn so something to show you soon.

Enjoying the last of the autumn sunshine, warm wishes to you all.

Pink Dotty Fabric Basket with Teddy Pocket Friend

I love the polka dot Clarke and Clarke Cotton Fabric for making Baskets.



Here comes the Pink Fabric basket with Teddy Pocket Friend!

Same unbleached cotton inside

 My teddy has huge ears, it is not a mouse, it is a teddy bear.
I tried a new stitch for the eyes, leaving it as a star- I really like how it looks.

I also used up my Josephine's Bouquet long quarter with its blue carnations on olive green background to make a slightly smaller (by 1 inch) baskets, for a more ethnic look-

 
I like the lining fabrics, it is a very happy shade of yellow-mustard






Handy for all those toiletries

Tomorrow is a bank holiday here in the UK and I can't wait to do some more sewing!
