Stitching again.... "Poppies for you"

23 August 2009

I am sooooooo lucky.... truly..

I have been given the oppurtunity to 'pattern test' the most gorgeous patterns..... and I love it! (shouting from the rooftops...."I love pattern testing Janelles designs")

I mean.....who wouldnt love the chance to try out a new pattern... right from the very beginning..... choosing a mix of fabrics..... constructing.....and then a little prayer at the end ....hoping that Ive done a good enough job ... to do the design justice.

So....the process began...... and these little strips became.....

....these cute little log cabin blocks....
Which finally became my...... "Poppies for you" bag.....

"This large project style bag features applique and piecing - with 8 pockets around the outside and a further 8 on the inside, this bag is sure to fit everything you need. Perfect as a stitching bag, this bag would also be perfect as a nappy bag, camera bag, shopping bag - the ideas are endless."

So with all those pockets......it made the PERFECT nappy bag for Alex....

(and Im pretty sure Bella likes it too)


(in fact.....she likes it SO much....that she is into it .....every chance she gets......)



(and Yes Bell.....Mum IS watching....and thats HER wallet...LOL)



Ohh....and I cant forget the cutie little pouch that is included in the pattern..... (sorry for the terrible indoor photo) ....its so adorable....and the perfect size for keeping all the 'little things' tidy....and tucking away in one of the 16 pockets in this bag....
