I signed up to be part of the Modernista Sewing Room Swap. I got Amy as my partner and she wanted a door stop and a fabric basket. Based off her color likes I went shopping and the minute I walked through the door of the fabric store I saw this fabric by Riley Blake, the line is Dress Up Days by Doohikey Designs, and I was instantly inspired!
I started by fussy cutting some of the bicycles and scooters. How cute is this fabric!
After a lot more cutting and a lot more sewing ... I ended up with this cute little set!
I used this Nine Patch Doorstop Tutorial by Oh, Fransson! for the door stop, except I put the zipper on the top of the bag. I also did my own piecing on the back because I wanted to highlight some of that wonderful bicycle print. I also lined the whole thing as well so it should be easy for her to fill and empty as needed.
I used this Fabric Basket Tutorial by Pink Penguin for the fabric basket.
After completion I added some chocolate, and shipped it off far far away to the UK. I really hope she enjoys it as much as I enjoyed stitching it!
Yay I sure do!! The fabric and colours ARE PERFECT - so very 'me' - you got it spot on!!! And Oh Fransson and Pink Penguin are two of my fav blogs to get sewing patterns/ideas from so again, spot on!!! THANK YOU very very much! I am thrilled! And the chocolates were a lovely surprise - you are very kind! You must know I love chocolate and buttons :) !!
