Present presents

Some more Christmas sewing. It's hard to not get distracted, but I'm slowly making progress.

I've haven't quite decided who is getting what, but here's what's on offer.

A Denyse Schmidt-inspired lavender and flaxseed eye pillow, and with the cut-offs, I made a lavender-filled thing, which I've decided should be a key-chain. These two items are a pair.



The fabrics are odds and sods - some old Cath Kidston, some Amy Butler, some mystery fabric from my aunt, a Japanese print from Reprodepot.

Then, more Schmidtery. An oven glove - like others, I think the thumb turn is a bit weird, but I've tested it, and it doesn't stop it "working".




I added a loop to hang it from, and a fabric covered button cos I felt like it. I'm making an apron to go with it. The brown fabric is an old Alexander Henry print - I love most of their stuff, if I wasn't broke I'd buy and buy and buy it - and the red fabric is treasured Schmidt Flea Market Fancy. I want to cover my life with it.

I'm also working on some elephant lavender sachets.

Yeah, there's a theme: I got a big bag of cheap lavender in a market in Paris in the fall.
