More stock building

With Y happily settled at school (he's only on his second day but so far so good!), I'm having to settle into a new morning routine myself and I'm hoping to free at least one morning (out of 3) for sewing.. Christmas is just round the corner (chocolates have already started appearing in the shops!) and so is the school Christmas fair - plus I have received a couple of orders (my first!!) from friends so I need to get sewing!!

Another stack of tissue cases for the fair..

And what better container for them than my new M&S tin? I love it!

A stack of tissue cases for mine and my friends Xmas stall, following this super quick and easy tutorial.

Details of a bag I'm making for lil sis, a mix between this one and this one, using a gorgeous Japanese linen. It's a relatively simple bag (no zips, no hooks or buckles, no fancy handles or straps) with a few pockets. I love making bags, sewing squares and rectangles is just my thing!

I won't show it all so she gets some element of surprise (it's for her birthday early April - I know, I'm being very organised! I'm actually capitalizing on my motivation and making lots of things while I'm up for it. I'm sure it will slow down at some point..).

To go with it, the indispensable tissue case of course (seen here) and some other things I'm yet to make (maybe another pencil case!?).

Big sis, if you fancy a new bag too, just shout!
