Upholstery Fabric Handbag

I've often seen furnishing fabrics that are absolutely gorgeous, but have no idea of what to make with it.

So I end up walking away, because I have sooo much self control ;)

Seriously, this bag is yummy.
It even has a magnetic snap closure.

And to make it wear better, buy a spray-can of scotchgard and give it a good spray to keep it clean.

Gorgeous craft apron tutorial

I would absolutely love an apron like this - although to be honest I'd probably hang it on the wall so I could look at it :D

Looks pretty easy to sew, too!

Terry Towelling Cat Softies

These very cute and cuddly cats would be super-cheap to make from old towelling.

And they're guaranteed to wash well, too!
(make sure the stuffing is washable, of course)
