Xmas fabric

Better late than never I guess, but unfortunately the Alexander Henry Christmas fabric arrived much later than planned! Some other sweet prints also arrived with the Xmas prints and I am in the process of putting them online!

shop handmade

I did a little Xmas shopping this weekend by Trendmafia and Dawanda. Trendmafia has a new indoor location, which which I am sure is greatly appreciated by the vendors and I went to check it out last Saturday. Two of my faves were there Miriam Schneidermann (can't show what I bought from her right now.....) and nikoki. The two pouches and the Matroschka pin in the pic above were my lovely purchases from nikoki.
Sunday I went online and got these sweet pocket mirrors, polka dot heart and lovely purse
from ni.ko's Dawanda shop. More will be forthcoming......ho!ho!ho!

reversible scarf

Here is an idea for a quick Xmas present....a reversible scarf using soft corduroy on one side and snazzy polka dots on the other. The scarf finished measures 30cm x 2,35cm. Both fabrics are from Stenzo and because they are 1,50cm wide, a meter of each fabric is more than enough for the scarf and will leave you with enough fabric leftover to make yourself a pouch or, maybe some cute heart Xmas ornaments? The fabrics can be found here.
