Lay Flat Drawstring Make Up Bags for my Great-Nieces

I've been a bit quiet on blogging my sewing projects just recently, as they have
 all been Christmas presents which I am now able to show.

When two of my great-niece's saw my drawstring make up bag that I 

made HERE, they both asked if I could make them one each sometime,
one in pink and one in lilac/purple. Apologies for the quality of the photos,
the colours of the lilac/purple one look better in real life.

They are aged 10 and 6 and this is what I made for them as part of their 

Christmas present. As soon as the presents were all opened, they began filling 

their bags with some toiletries and small make up sets they had both received!

I purchased the material from Chelmsford Market. 

A friend has also asked if I could make her one, so I have already cut the 

material and will make it for her in January and show you next month.

Thank you for visiting my blog today, wishing you all a very Happy New Year.

Merry Christmas

Wishing all my followers and crafting friends,
a very Merry Christmas.

Thank you for visiting and commenting on my blog posts throughout the year,
I read every one and really do appreciate them.

I am sharing my last Christmas card for this year, which I kept very 'clean and simple'.

I used a Christmas frame embossing folder and the sentiment die, cut in
silver mirror card and foam. Lastly I added a couple of tiny red star gems.

I must apologise for the poor quality photo.
We unfortunately had a lot of rain last week, so the daylight was very poor.

Thank you for visiting my blog.
