It’s sew January!

 Happy New Year everyone!

I hope that you all had a wonderful Christmas! It certainly flew by didn’t it? 

A new year and new release! Today I am sharing with you 3 projects that I have created with Eileen’s dies.

The first is this gorgeous Needle Book. I love how small it is, it’s so cute!

I used some gorgeous wool fabric that I was kindly gifted a while ago from a friend. I used felt sheets for the inserts of the book. It can be used for either storing needles or pins. I also decided to make a pin cushion for the front of the book, a place to put your needles or pins when you aren’t using them! I have used some thin, pink ribbon to attach the pages inside.

The 2nd project I made was this lovely embroidery hoop, I absolutely adore this die! So clever! I decided to opt for a Valentine’s theme for this project, with Valentine’s Day only around the corner now! I chose some heart material and sewed the word ‘Love’ on, and added a few buttons to finish my design. 

When I cut this using matboard, I cut double and glued the pieces together to make the frame stronger and more supportive. I finished off this design with some mini pom pom ribbon, it finishes it off perfectly!

Finally, I created this cute and AMAZING sewing box! This is so clever how Eileen has designed it! I decided to opt for a Spring flower theme for this projects. I matched the paper pieces up so that the flowers/leaves matched when the sewing box opened and closed.

Sewing box opened, perfect for storing ribbon, buttons, needles etc etc!

Thank you for taking the time to read my blog!
