Makery - book review.

 I popped into my local T K Max and found this book by Kate Smith.

It's got a good selection of craft projects including decoupage and
machine embroidery, hand stitched items, knitting and crochet projects.

 Maja, made this purse from the book and I think it looks fantastic.

 Maja got her clasp from Ebay, but you can buy them from Kleins too!
The size of purse Maja made is more of a bag and Maja is going to add a strap.

As a purse or make up bag or bag with a strap this is the perfect gift,
thats if you can bear to part with it, I am not sure I could !

Half price patterns !

I find dress makers paper patterns expensive, so I jumped at the chance to stock up with New Looks offer of all patterns reduced to 2.95, but hurry the offer ends this saturday.

Choosing patterns I find can be very "off putting" as the manufacture's choice of
fabric would not be mine. On the back of the pattern there is always a line
drawing which I find really useful when making my choice. On line some
of the sites also offer  enlarged or black and white line drawings

. (It normally says
"click here for out line diagram" )
