We’re having a little break from my holiday snaps today because as I mentioned before, Sharon fromĀ the teacupĀ incident blog has organised aĀ Fabulous Scrap Fabric Swap and today is the big reveal of whose taken part and what they have made (drum roll please).

I started by makingĀ a Pinterest boardĀ ofĀ ideas of things to make with fabric scraps.

I wanted to make useful holiday items and started with this lined zippered purse. I found a tonne of inspiration on theĀ In Colour Order blogĀ and followed the tutorial there. I added a beaded pull after seeing what Sharon had made with hers.

Next up was a lined drawstring bag for toiletries or camera supplies.

I followed this lined-drawstring-bag-tutorialĀ here

And with the iddly-widdy bits left over I made a lavender bag because you can never have too many of those.

It’s been fun doing this –Ā I’ve been lucky to find internet friends with common likes during the time that I’ve been blogging and it was fun to take part, send and receive parcels and have a little piece of community. Thanks Sharon for organising this.
