One beach bag made! I am really happy with how this one turned out.
Should be able to a good amount of beach gear in this one!
Now I just need to find a fabric to go with the other design!

I thought that I might like to make a couple of beach bags for my market stall. What I would like to do is have a single pattern on the bag with a pic on a pocket on the front. I found some designs that I liked on the embroidery Library. What do you think?
A sand castle!
Then I couldn’t resist this vintage look one.
A stroll along in the sun.
Now I just have to make the bags for them to go on!
Last year in the Melbourne stitches and craft show I saw a dress I feel totally in love with. It was truly amazing! It was made from selvedge all sewn together to make a vintage style dress that was just a wonder to behold. When I saw it there, I was just blown away by it. Then as I was doing my daily blog search for new and inspiring craft. I saw a chair covered in selvedge and after going back through the blog I found it….. The dress. The one I still think of when I am cutting the selvedge of a piece of fabric, and wish I could create such a work of fabric art. Anyway here it is I’d like to see if anyone could look at this and not just be blown away.
The dress I have dreamed about for over a year!
If you want to see more photos of it or the other amazing things on this blog just go to ric rac.
This week I found a couple of goodies but I think my fav has to be this bracelet.
It was an impulse buy at the counter!
At first glance I thought, oh yeah I like that, maybe I could separate the tiles and attach them to some of my buttons or something. Then when I got home and really looked at it. I just couldn’t break it up, so I wore it. A friend spotted it and commented on my gorgeous ‘gone with the wind’ tile bracelet. It wasn’t until then, that I had even given any thought to them actually being something over then sweet little tiles. Her theory is that they must have been part of a limited edition promotion thing back in the 5o’s maybe. If you know the history of them let me know! In the mean time I will just enjoy wearing it. After all it is quite cute!
I found it!
