Thank goodness for deadlines - I tend to get things done last minute when there's a firm and definite deadline :) Here are a couple of projects I finished this month that were planned for May's Ho Ho Ho linky party :D The duffle bag got finished this morning, but the puppets were finished a while ago - I just hadn't gotten photographs :) Both of these items are for Christmas gifts, so into the gift they're going :)
First up is a set of Old MacDonald puppets, plus the book I bought to go along with them :) I'll do a drawstring bag (appliqued with farm bits and pieces) to hold the puppets. I may also do a couple of finger puppets to go in the bag - and I was thinking I could maybe find a farm colouring book as well :) The free tutorial is
here :)
Next up is my newest completed
Cargo Duffle bag :) I took pictures outside this afternoon but it was so bright and sunny (YAY!) that the colour washed out. I grabbed a couple more pics down here in the dungeon - the black background isn't faded like it is in these pictures - this is lovely Japanese canvas fabric but I'm an inept photographer :D
Here are some close-ups of the fun zipper pull I got on Ebay - it works perfectly with the bag - and both sides are perfect for the space/robot theme :)

The Old Macdonald's finger puppets are super cute. Great present.
ReplyDeleteLove the puppets but OH THAT BAG!!! Wowzers, girl!
ReplyDeleteThe duffle bag is fabulous Sandra, I love the fabric that you used for it and well, the zipper pull is just perfect!
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up to Ho Ho Ho and on We Sew too :)
Those are super cute! I love the cargo bag too, that zipper pull was a perfect finish - score!
ReplyDeleteBlack is so hard to photograph if there's a light fabric with it. Another awesome cargo duffle bag. My kids always loved finger puppets plus a book to go with them.
ReplyDeleteLove the puppets! That, the book, and the bag are going to make a great gift. When Helena was young she LOVED puppets! The duffle bag is great! I love how you quilted it! Really a winner! :)
ReplyDeleteWell done you! Keeping busy!!!
ReplyDeleteI think it must be like Christmas every day at your house, Sandra :)
