Having to meet deadlines for magazines usually means working weeks or even months ahead. I finished this Summer themed project for Sewing World Magazine back in April, whilst looking out of the window at heavy frost!
The inspiration for it came from this pretty little vintage caravan zipper pouch which I stitched up last year as a present for a very dear friend.

However as I like to keep my creations fresh, the make it inspired isn't a zipper pouch but I can't tell you any more until it's published........although I couldn't resist sharing some quick sneak peaks!
The floral fabric I used in both projects is Cottage Flowers and it comes in a pack of six different colourways. You might also recognise it from my fabric notebook cover tutorial.
Shhh, don't tell the kids but I'm now working on a 'Back to School' project and we haven't even had our summer break yet!
Oh, I think I know what you are appliquéing, and very lovely it is too. Can't wait to see it fully. Beautiful fabrics. xx

Love this design as I sit in my Campervan!
That little pencil case is very pretty! I'd love to see the new (old!) project too, it looks as if it will be gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteIt is a bit crazy, how magazines are working four to six months ahead - I remember a blog friend dressing her house for a Christmas-themed article - and it was a boiling hot day in June! Still, it's great that your work is being featured, even if the year seems a bit muddled.
I love the pencil case :) Such a lovely gift :)
ReplyDeleteBellissimo! Grazie. Paola - Italy
