Easter Cases

After spending the past few months working on re-stocking my shop with lots of my most popular designs, it's been nice this week to finally get some time to work on some new cases. 

Here they are! Brand new Easter / Spring themed Minifelt Phone / iPod /Gadget Cases. 

An Easter Bunny. Available HERE.

A little Sheep. Available HERE.

New Keyrings!

I just thought I'd share some photos of my new keyring designs.

Bunny Keyring

Owl Keyring

Penguin Keyring

Hedgehog Keyring

I've just added them to my Folksy Shop, if you fancy something to keep your keys safe, or to brighten up your bag. 

I have loads of ideas for new projects at the moment. I can't decide what to work on next, either animal notepad covers, hairclips, wallets (bigger versions of my Minifelt purses but with a pocket for cards) or some more laptop cases.... hmm. What do you think? 

Minifelt Purses

Firstly apologies for the lack of blogging lately. I blame it all on the fantastic weather we've been having, as it's just too nice to stay indoors on the computer!

Anyway I have been hard at work on these new additions to my shop, felt purses. I've always wanted to have a go at sewing a purse but thought it'd be too complicated as I've never sewn a zip in before...

Here is my first attempt. I started with two layers of felt, cut to about 12 x 8cm.  Then I sewed my design onto the front layer first, I choose a fox's face, as I'm quite obsessed with foxes after watching Fantastic Mr Fox on DVD the other day!

Then when it came to sewing in the zip I cheated and cut a gap the size of my zip into two pieces of felt (the inner layer and outer layer). Then I stitched around the outside of the zip to hold it in place, which seems to work perfectly!

I then finished the purse off by sewing the sides together of the inner layer which I made slightly smaller than the outer layer, as I thought that two layers of stitches would make it more sturdy.

Here's the finished purse plus I've made a few more too with some different designs:

I won!

I few weeks ago I entered a fantastic giveaway on Titchables blog and I won! This is the first giveaway I've ever won and I was thrilled as the prize consisted of all these lovely goodies:

I love it all and it arrived so beautifully packaged. The covered buttons are so cute and the red ribbon was perfect for finishing off this hanging bunny. It has a secret pocket/pouch sewn onto the back for storing notes, money, keys or anything you like in!

Part of the prize was also free shipping on my next order so I treated myself to a few other supplies from Titchables Shop

I just love the bright polka dot ribbon, I'll definitely be using that for some of the keyrings I'm making at the moment. I also bought some more brooch pins to make another batch of badges with and some zips, despite having never sewn a zip in before I thought I'd have a go at using these to make some little purses/pouches in the shape of some of my Minifelt designs. I'll let you know how that goes!

Anyway a big thank you to Titchabes for the giveaway, I'd definitely recommend checking out their Shop and fantastic blog.
