sewing for the tartan bee

I've been busy sewing things for the tartan bee shop this week and I made myself sit down and load them in today. I don't know why I always leave the loading in until I have a lot to do. Every time I do it, I tell myself not to do it like that next time and yet, here I was today loading in 12 new items. Och well, they're done now. Yay! :o)

First of all there are four new shopping bags. (There were 6 but Joanna took a fancy to 2 of them so she got a very generous family discount on those.)

And there are 8 new pinnies (aprons). I wanted to keep some of these for myself but I have plenty pinnies and certainly don't need any more so I managed to keep my greedy little paws off them!

I have a few more shopping bags cut out and ready to sew - I think there are 15 in the pile - so I really should get on with those soon. Maybe. :oD

    Absolutely lovely. Love the fabric especially the cat one. I've got the dog/radley-esque but haven't seen the kitty one.

      Thanks! The cats fabric is a Clarke and Clarke fabric called "Felix". I got it when I was in Carlisle at Easter but I'm sure it'll still be available. Try eBay - it's usually much cheaper than my local fabric shop!

    Oh, I so love your choice of fabrics and it doesn't surprise me that you'd love to keep a couple for yourself. Take care.

      Thanks, Susan. If I kept all the ones I wanted to, there'd be none left to sell! Serves me right for buying fabrics I like! LOL

      Thanks, Anna. The VW print has been very popular - especially as shopping bags. :o)
