Christmas gifts
Well the cold turned into flu & knocked me flat. DD got it first & in true style was generous with her germs and then I in turn gave it to DH. So Christmas was a bit of a washout in our house to be honest.
My knitting mojo has deserted me yet again and everything I touch seems to go wrong so I haven’t been doing much of it. So instead I’ve been sewing. I made some Christmas presents but they were of the fabric kind rather than fibre.
Firstly a make up bag for my 13 year old niece:

I lined the bag in black cotton but forgot to get a photo of it open.
This was only the second time that I’ve inserted a zip so it was a bit nerve racking but I’m pleased with the outcome. I put a Boots giftcard inside so she can treat herself to something to put inside it.
Then a bag for her 10 year old sister:

blue batik tote bag

blue batik fish material bag lining
The bag in particular was well received and taken to school this week with pencil case and other treasures.
I made a few other things as well but am waiting to hear that they’ve been received before I share the details.
