I've WON!!!

Oh my goodness me!! I've only gone and won a competition!! A huge thank you to Minerva Crafts (http://www.minervacrafts.com) for hosting such an awesome competition! Out of 224 projects submitted, mine got the most votes! I loved seeing all the projects - so many colours and designs!

This is the bag that won - it's a kids messenger bag, and is made entirely from a Fat Quarter. The fabric is also from Minerva Crafts! I've sold it now, but I'll be making some more this week.

I am super excited about winning, and thank you so much to everyone who voted. I'll post a picture of me with my prize when it arrives.

Please visit my Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/TheVeryFatQuarter to see more bags, and more news. There are quite a few bags that I've not taken pictures of yet, but I will be doing that next week after the next round of weekend fairs. The mini lunch tote bags are also proving to be veeeery popular!

Kids Bags

Well, it seems that after declaring that I had 'no interest in making children's bags', I've landed up doing exactly that. I really ought to know better. 'I've no interest in making soap again' ..... a few months later, I was making soaps. 'I've no interest in sewing again' .... aaaand a few months later, I'm sewing handbags. So beware anyone if I say 'I have no interest .... ', as you never know what I might be getting up to next!

Now, I really would LOVE to be able to make clothes, but I seem to lack the skill needed for that item. Oh well, you can't win 'em all.

Here are some of the bags I've recently made for a fair coming up later this month (eep!!).
