I just finished making this wallet and makeup bag this morning and am thrilled to bits with them. I've made them for someone who saw the fabric in my stash and liked it. I wish I'd thought of making them in this fabric sooner because of all the wallets and makeup bags I've made these are definitely my favourite ones.
I had a job trying to find a zip that matched the lining fabric but finally managed to find one.
I used a tutorial from Nicolaforemanquilts.com to make the makeup bag.
I tried to give the direct link but for some strange reason her page won't open up for me. I got it to work click
HERE for the tutorial. The tutorial is for a pencil case that measures 9" x 11" but I cut mine out at 12" x 12" to give a good size for a makeup bag.
I think I may just have enough of the floral fabric to make a
pocket tissue holder.

I love them! They make me think of the good old Laura Ashley days.

P.S. I'm a "no-reply" blogger, but I subscribed to this thread, so I can keep track of things! :)
Thanks for stopping by Krista and thanks also for letting me know you're a no reply blogger at least I know I'm not talking to myself when I reply here to comments LOLLLL I remember Laura Ashley from when I was a teenage. Now that's going back a while but I loved her stuff then and still love the fabrics she used. Don't know if Laura Ashley still has shops in the UK or anywhere else for that matter.
DeleteI know there are no Laura Ashley shops in the U.S. anymore--:(--there are a few items with that brand name at one of our department stores in town, but the style is more modern and updated and not what I remember it to be.
DeleteI really miss the perfume!
I don't remember the perfume just the fabric and clothes.
DeleteMaria....this set is ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!!!!! So pretty and feminine! OMG...I want it! LOLLLLLLLL
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous Maria!
