Sewing, stamping and stock

I have been busy working away on some new stock for my Folksy shop.  I got out my fabric stamps again and started playing around with stamps and fabric combinations.

I also started using some of the lovely fabrics I showed you in my last post. 

I was very disciplined and only allowed myself to go outdoors and enjoy the sunshine once I'd finished all the machine sewing!  I took some things outside to stuff and then hand sewed the openings....

So what was I making? 

Some more of my 'Sewing Essentials' kits! 

Here's how the complete 'kit' looks -

Each kit contains a handy drawstring project bag (complete with french seams = no raw, fraying edges), pin cushion and little needle book with 2 felt pages, and a handy little pocket - perfect for holding threads, buttons etc.  Here's the inside of the needle book -

This lovely yellow floral Sewing Essentials kit can now be found here in my Folksy shop. 

I also had a play around with other fabric combinations, here are some of them -

Cute pink cherries.  This Sewing Essentials kit can be found here in my Folksy shop. 

This gorgeous blue floral fabric reminds me of Cath Kidston/vintage type material, it's actually from Sew La La online fabric shop who stock a gorgeous range of vintage inspired fabrics.  This kit can now be found here in my Folksy shop. 

Lastly is this lovely bright pink birds/flowers kit.  This one can be found here in my Folksy shop. 

Now, whilst the sun is still shining I am thinking about trying some little embroidery designs to embellish my next projects, so I'll take my sewing project bag out side and enjoy the sunshine while it lasts :)
