Coming up roses

Another Handmade Monday and another day reading about all the wonderful creations from the previous week with Wendy at 1st Unique Gifts and this is the post that should have been last week before illness intervened. I hate being ill as stops me doing what I love and that is making but hope I have made up for it this week.

The week of the lemons, well not quite but the fabric is the same pattern as the pink from the other week but this time a pinafore with a flower design.



Another wild rose frame bag



Tissue covers



Hearts filled with rose potpourri in both the lemon and pink fabric.



That is it with this fabric pattern design every last scrap used up with hardly any waste now on to another project this time Cupcakes. No embroidery on the pinafore this time as felt the fabric too patterned for the detail to stand out.




Plus carrying on from the rose swan theme a beautiful design from my favourite designer Sonia Showalter of small potpourri bags, the centre has been cut away and replaced with fine voile and thought I would add a few rose petals to the potpourri.


I am having a destash in my work and sewing room starting with CD rome, a chance to pick up a bargain here, once gone not returning.

That is it for this week, now next week thinking Jubilee celebrations, red white & blue,  London......
See you next week same time, same place...

  21. I hope I can post this, Blogger is not liking me today (have been having issues with them for awhile, but it's gotten worse today).
    I LOVE the things you've made, and I"m sorry you've been sick (me too, I had the stomach bug of all bugs, I hope it didn't hop across the pond!)
    I adore the pinafore, almost makes me wish my new grandson was a granddaughter, but he just wouldn't look right in a dress. :)
    Everything is so sweet and lovely tho, you've done a beautiful job.
