January Makes from the Mooloo household

Well I have finally gathered together my sewing from this month, and laid it on the bed to photograph.
So if you see the duvet underneath, I appologies.!
When its all together it looks a lot more than I thought I had done.
Tote shopping bag, 60 style fabric, lined with a sheet.!

Handy clip for the keys or shopping token.

Mini Skirt, just the right size for a shopping bag.
Added a patch pocket, either side, so as to make use of the false flaps that were originally on the skirt. This is lined with a bright yellow/orange liner with pockets to compliment the outside colours.
A variety of the purses - Cath Kidston fabric, with pink Canvas
Cath Kidston and pink, reversed.

A pair of Biggest of Mooloo's jeans- another bag. With added ribbons and diamante details

One of the deamonte details added to the back of the bag.
Brightly lined with a remenant of fabric

Scented lavender sachet, for hanging in the wardrobe
One of the two sets of square lavender bags, ideal for drawers.

A couple of another double set of hanging lavender bags, this time they are supposed to be circular
This lavender bag, has used a piece of fabric that we printed off the picture from the computer. Then the lace is some vintage from the stash. The other side is actually blues and purples in a paisley rayon.

This is a set of animal based lavender bags, an american idea, called Owwies. Ideal for soothing bumps and bruises. Put in the freezer for a while, or heat in the microwave. DGD loves hers.

Sticking to the animal theme, a couple of full length aprons, in yellow gingham, reclaimed from a childs duvet set, and the remains of some animal print fabrics donated to the Mooloo household.



A few more of the purses in a variety of the Purple colours this time. I love the one with the umbrella's the best. Its lined with a plain purple fabric, but the others are lined in the remanents of the moses basket cover from DGD2.


This is a piece of furnishing fabric, wool appliqued that was bought in a bunch of odds and sods from the charity shop. Note that there is a seam in one corner, as the piece of fabric was not square. But it was a shame not to try to utilise the fabric.
This is the back of the same cushion. Again fabric donated to the stash from my SIL's mum.

This is a skirt. It was a full length A line skirt that was plain and boring. Its now a mini with a few patch pockets, and a frayed edge. Alas its a size 10 so not for me. Its ownerless at the moment. But I am sure it will find a home soon.

This is a half, waist tie apron, with the combination reversed.
And finally this is a pincushion that I made while watching TV the last two nights. Love the fabric, and have a panel probably enough to make a cushion, or another tote bag. I cannot make up my mind.

So all in all I have done quite a bit of sewing. Not the make a day I had wanted to do, but at least there is something to show for my efforts.

  5. thanks for the vote of confidence. I am hoping that I will get the bug again, and have another run at the making. But with the workroom on hold, its not so easy to go and sew.
