Sewing kits

I have been busy making sewing kits this week. I found a little heart shaped ceramic pot and made a strawberry pin cushion, with a needle book to match!

I love this fabric - it has various little sewing 'notions' on it and comes in squares so it's perfect for quilting or small projects like this. This is another sewing kit - pin cushion and needle book.

Fabric basket

Fabric baskets are quite popular in Austria as bread baskets. Usually the corners are tied, but I have made some with little poppers. They can be used for all sorts of things and for all sorts of reasons! They are a great way of using scraps of material and wadding.
