Little Hearts

I accidently slipped into a little bit of crafting this afternoon, with no particular plan to follow.  I petted some of my favourite fabrics, pinched and snipped my fingers on my wire cutters and pliers before coming up with this little idea...

which moved nicely along to this one...

and this... 

and this... 

 

then finished off with a Christmassy tatty raggedy heart... 

with jingle bells

Pale blue, pale pink and cream...

Springtime Tatty Raggedy-ness

I love Spring, and I really loved the last two days of term, knowing I'd be getting 2 whole weeks of lie-ins.  I also enjoyed the morning school runs, as I got to pass all the little schoolchildren heading in with their homemade Easter Bonnets on.  Crepe paper and fluffy chicks atop many a wee head!

.♥.

I had orders for tatty hearts and horseshoes - some of which were in Spring-time colours so I went for these...

 ...and some greens...

...and finally a couple of horseshoes...

Raggedy Again...

I've been trying to stock up on some items...

...like this heart.

Denim Blue and Red Spot Too...

Tatty Rag Heart...

...in soft cotton denim, pale blue stripe and red spotty fabric.

. ...♥... .

I love these colours...

I'm catching up on a bit of stock piling and have been playing with lovely fabric combinations in these tatty raggedy hearts...

...nice pinks in plain, gingham and floral...

...blues and creams with a little bit of my 'confetti' fabric sneaking in...

...and this yummy floral fabric in Autumny coffee browns, sage greens and rusty reds...

...and a photo of all three taken in the evening sun.

Bridal Horseshoes

Some more horseshoes to show you: a dusky pink floral and gingham combination...

...one made with a gold accented wedding in mind...

  ...and a fluffy pink confetti look...

For a Wedding...

I'm off to a wedding today so I've made this tatty raggedy horseshoe to give to the bride after the ceremony.

It's made using pink dupion silk, pale cream lace, gold organza and plain ivory cotton... 

...and is finished with a white satin hanger and bows.

A couple of hearts

I was given a small bag of bits lately and asked to do something with them.

I sewed this little blue-print silk heart, decorating it with a scrap of vintage lace left over from the family christening robe and a lace flower cut out.  I embellished it with a couple of opalescent beads and from the bit bag used a small 'CONGRATULATIONS' printed offcut of ribbon and a button...

 

...and following on from the raggedy bag I made in pinks I used the cuts to make this raggedy heart...

Tatty Rag Horseshoes

Just a quick show of three more horseshoes I've made before they go on sale...

pale lavenders and creams...

 ...fresh pinks with a hint of green in the floral print...

 ...and a slightly softer pink combination, which looks like confetti and cherry blossom...

Tatty Rag Hearts

Just wanted to share three new Tatty Rag Hearts I've made:

A small heart in pale purples...

...a small giddy pink one...

...and a larger green mix...

all made with love

Tatty Rag Horseshoes

Just a couple of Tatty Rag Horseshoes I've made today.

The first is made in a blue colourway, with stripes, florals and plain fabrics...

...and the second is in pale purples, with floral print gingham, plain and two florals.

Tatty Rag Horseshoe

I've been making more tatty rag hearts and I wanted to try something a little bit different so I went for a horseshoe.

Made with four different materials in a pink colourway : 

plain white, plain pink, pink gingham and pink floral. 

It is finished with pink satin ribbon bows and hanger and a 'Handmade by Tamara Jayne' heart tag. 

Tatty Fabric Heart

This tatty rag heart measures approx 12cm x 12cm. 

Made with four different materials in a pink and green colourway - two floral, one gingham, one spotty - it is finished with a pink gingham bow and hanger and 'Handmade by Tamara Jayne' heart tag. 

Little Tatty Hearts

This tatty rag heart is made using 4 different materials and finished with an organza bow, khaki green satin ribbon hanger and a heart tag.

This one is a tiny tatty heart made with three different patterned materials and finished with a red satin bow, gingham ribbon hanger and one of my heart tags.

Tatty Fabric Heart

I made another of the fabric tatty hearts, this time using pinks and pale purples.  

This one is smaller than the previous one I have shown and is not as rounded in shape but it's still charming...  

...and it's finished with a tag with buttons on, of course!
