Finally I get to post some pics of the presents I made!

I must admit a few things did get knocked off the list as I ran out of time but they will keep for birthdays or next year!
Please excuse the poor pics it was late when I finished these so the lighting wasn't great.

Cushion for my mum (I had problems with the gift I was going to make so I am going to do that for her birthday in a couple of weeks)

This is a free Amy Butler holiday pattern


It is supposed to be made in felt but I didn't have any so I used fleece, I think it turned out well.

My dad's reusable lunch set, 2 sandwich wraps and 2 sandwich bags

This is the fabric I had printed at Spoonflower, I managed to salvage some of it but there are still a few areas where the print is blurry.

My Spoonflower farbic arrived but....

there are flaws :-(

There are areas where the print has not gone on top the original layer printed so it looks like it is smudged. It means I can't use some areas of the fabric so it will limit what I can make with it now.
Customer services at Spoonflower have been amazing though and they put everything right.

When I first heard about Spoonflower and having your own fabric printed I thought it wasn't for me. I love the idea of designing your own fabric but I don't have the skills but sometimes find it hard to find the right fabric for a project, so I thought I would give it a go using a copyright free image.

This is what arrived this morning, a circuit diagram (it is only a swatch):-


It may be an odd choice but my dad is an electronics engineer and draws things like this for a living and I wanted this fabric to do a project for him for Christmas.

I was worried how it would turn out but I'm quite happy with it. I now have a head swimming with ideas of what else I use this fabric for and lots more ideas of what fabric I would like to get printed (if only I could get the hang of photoshop!)
