To Market, To Market, To Buy A Fat Pig..........

........home again, home again, jiggety jig! Whenever I think about making these, that rhyme goes around and around in my head!

For the first time this year (!!) I found myself with a little spare time today. The kids were at school, orders were packed in record time and rather than do housework, I pulled out those vintage sheets I picked up and started cutting (along with some I already had)



I love making these bags. They are all fully reversable...



..........and so very sturdy - I have used them to carry heavy heavy items without any bother........


.........and they just look kinda cool too, don't they?

My charms are also cut up for the Rainbow Charm Swap over on Flickr & will be posted to the host on Monday. I've loved watching all the rainbow fabrics being uploaded onto Flickr - there are some gorgeously fabulous materials there - can't wait! Now to decide what to use them for!

Fancy a Rainbow Charm Swap???


Emily is holding a second swap for those of us (that would be me!!) not quick enough to say "aye" to the first round. I am so excited. My first fabric swap. It's simple. Buy a yard of fabric in the colour allocated to you and cut it into 56 charm squares (5" square). There are 28 in each group so you will receive 28 different fabrics in return - two of each fabric.

I've signed up for two slots and I cannot wait. So if it interests you, get in touch with Emily on her blog now!
