I couldn't resist digging over our tiny little garden yesterday and getting started with some vegetable growing. Because it's still winter, I just planted a few different herbs and some salad greens. I can't wait until other plants come into the shop though- like rocket and pumpkins and zucchini. We only have a small space but I think we should be able to cram lots of things in.
Another great thing about living in the middle of town is being able to buy a few fresh things for dinner on the walk home from school with the kids. So I decided a new shopping bag was in order- and I popped a couple in my shop too. To make the pattern, I made a few changes to these bags I made a few months ago- namely making the pieces a bit smaller, and adding interfacing to the base for a square-ish shape. The last bag shown above is made from some vintage linen fabric from Amelia- I love the earthy colours and the design reminds me a bit of Marimekko.
p.s. have you been following along the 'Month of Handsewing' at Sew, Mama, Sew? Such great stuff every day...
