My New Hobby


Hi Everyone, hope you're all having a great week! I've been super busy with my new hobby - sewing!

In a bid to save money on future Christmas presents (ever since I got married, the list of people to get gifts for have expanded almost exponentially), I decided to create makeup bags to give as gifts. Once I started making them, I realised I enjoyed making them so much I couldn't stop!


Here are some I've made so far, all of them have a contrasting fabric lining:


This pastel flower bag is made from Cath Kidston material, and I've made a little macaron charm to go with it.


The bags below has pastel bears holding macarons.




I've made little macaron charms for them too.




A bag with little deer and mushrooms:


I gave this bag a lilac and polka dot lining.



A Gingham and Cherry bag:


A Mini hearts and Bow bag:



Hope you liked them! I'm thinking of giving one away as part of my next Giveaway x

    Hi Penelope! They are so cute. I especially like the one with the cherries. So cute how you create a little charm for the zipper to go along with it. Anyone should be delighted to receive hand made gift.

    Hi Penelope, these are completely amazing! I'm completely so so so in love with the doe and polka dot pouch. Sigh, but such things can't be bought! I think beautiful handmade gifts can trump something that can be bought of a shelf anytime. I only wish I had the same talent as you. Your friends and family are truly lucky =)

    Your bags are so pretty, happy sewing. I would love to have an opportunity to learn to sew again. I sew once and got a sewing machine, but stopped for a while. I need to get back on it. Thanks for sharing this! Your sewing is an inspiration.
