This is a design I worked on for some time before I got it exactly right. It's proved really popular and is a regular on the sewing room table.
I made purses, gadget cases, pencil cases, bags and storage baskets in this design.
I'm currently panicking about what I will do when I run out of the brown spot fabric!
This fun spring design is a playful one, aimed at children. Many of my designs are childlike, simple in form and use bright, fun fabrics.
My twins son's got some of those fantastic personalised pencil sets for their Birthday, where each pencil is embossed with their name.
We ended up with a scuffle every time they wanted to draw with their pencils as they all got mixed up. So I made them each a pencil case with their name on. These turned out much better than I had anticipated and I will be making these to order via my Folksy site. www.folksy.com/shops/thepeartreeboutique
