Pretties

Now that I've delivered these to their very patient owner (the lovely Robyn who writes historical romance hence the pretty regency-ish fabrics) as a much belated birthday gift, I can show them off here.

Make-up/jewellery/bits and pieces purses:



These are fun to make as they don't take long individually, are made from easy to cut rectangles and squares and help perfect your zip techniques. Plus, they're all based on free internet tutorials (yay for people who post tutorials)!

Back left - Sweet Treat bag by Moda

Back right - Wet bag (ie vinyl lined for anything potentially spilly) from Little Birdie Secrets' tutorial (First time sewing vinyl which was interesting...may have to order some different kinds online to experiment seeing Oz stores don't seem to carry much that's lighter than heavy tablecloth weight...I used a shower curtain.)

Front - Two pouches which are size variations on Rousabout Is Vera Jean's lined pouch tutorial, which is a very flexible pattern in the size and shapes you can produce.

The fabrics are a quilting weight and I interfaced it for the rectangular pouches.

PS, In true virgo twin freakiness fashion, Robyn had just bought a gorgeous summer dressing gown in very similar fabric lol So now she'll be all elegant and co-ordinated in the mornings when travelling.
