Here I used Peaceful Wreath...and as I said in my last blog I'm trying to make 10 makes.....this is one way of me doing it.....but having fun at the same time....

You can use Whisper White card stock 12 x 12 make you back ground then cut it down to the size you need, to make card box and many more.... hope you enjoy my little picture and I'm hoping to do  youtube video  so watch this space you will find my channel( josephine nairn)

What colour would you use.......I'm thinking about Night of Navy...........so here we have small little card....small box but using just the top of the box for decoration.......and a little six sided box which you could fit tea lights in....... I'm sure you can come you with other things......

Hubby's Denim Jeans.........

Hubby's Denim Jeans

Hi lovely crafting people out there.......so how has your week been........weather here in UK..very mixed.....

Had a lovely weekend with my daughter... got my sewing machine out and made loads.......she went back happy( I hope)........

So to start my week I wanted to carry on sewing and making lovely little things........ but wanted to challenge myself with using and upcycle clothes.....

Yes you look at my headed for the blog...and yes I took hold of my hubbies jeans while he was away in Scotland for the week.......

So what do you think.......plus I only used 6ins x 11in from the front leg........plus this cute little purse has lining ......the fabric I used same as the lovely flower.....so easy to make........

Details as follows

Take two pieces of fabric 6in x 11in

place them right sides facing,  hem around but remember to leave a gap about 1 1/2in, this is so you can pull all material through and get right sides facing you. I have top stitched all the way around remembering to fold in the hole!!!!!!

Now to fold up to make purse shape and flap...... so sew up the side when you decide the depth of your purse......

Way don't you have ago...I bet you have loads of unwanted clothes you could turn into something cute.......

thank you for stopping by
