Little Tags

These little card tags are a double layered design with a double layered heart detail.

The edges are ink-smudged in rainbow colours.

Each tag has a plain, slightly textured reverse side and is finished with a rustic craft string.

Welcome Bunting

More bunting!
This is a welcome sign made using fresh prints.  I love the green spotted paper and selected the other patterns to compliment it.

The letters are cut from purple shimmer card.
It is strung on pink craft twine and finished with loops and pink beads.

Christmas Bunting

I love this bunting!  I have been making lots of bunting items lately and I wanted to share my Christmas 'Joy' and 'Peace' with you.

Made using sturdy card and Christmas printed craft papers.

The edges of the flags and the letters are ink-smudged in gold.

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.

Tags and Bags

I've been sewing more '♥ With Love' gift tags.  Another floral, a gingham and a spotty one.

and I've been wanting to make more of these little bags for ages so I finally got to it and made some.

The floral fabric is beautiful, with soft muted colours. 

And the stripes I love too!

And they are all fully lined!

Fabric gift tags

I've been busy with my sewing machine again.  

I recently bought some '♥ with love' ribbon and used it on my fabric tags.

I love the colours and the patterns.  

They are ideal to tie onto a bottle of wine or on a present.

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!

Sewn Card

The Front...

The Back...

I made this card using a favourite brown floral material and lots of lace and fabric scraps.  

I tried to plan the layout but couldn't get the look I wanted so I went with random placement and sewing.

Basically, I just sewed the thick lace round a couple of times then added bits of ribbon, fabric and lace as I fancied.  I finished off with the cake square in the middle and some buttons too.

I am really happy with the way it turned out.

Tatty Fabric Heart

My sister made me a beautiful tatty fabric heart for Christmas last year and we have since made several on our crafting days.

This one I made using up some bits of fabric I'd had for years and never found the right thing to do with. It was originally very chocolate brown and pale green but I quickly ran out of the pale colours so started to add the darker greeny-blue colour.

I love the colours, although they don't stand out very well on the full picture but the close up shows them clearer.

It now hangs on an old cupboard door in my kitchen.

The tag has survived several playful attacks by my daughters kittens and is now looking very tatty indeed!
