Sewing State of Mind

Do you ever have a crazy urge to create something entirely from scratch? I know I do. Quite often actually. So, I decided to showcase four of my favourite impulsive sewing creations:
1.
This pencil case was hand-sewn and finished with a zipper bought from Vinnies.


2.

This hand bag was made from plastic bags ironed together, hand sewn, and finished with a zipper (once again from a 2nd hand shop) and a shoelace strap.
Thanks to Millie for the idea, who saw the original idea on Better Homes & Gardens.


3.
This phone sock was hand sewn, finished with a felt heart and elastic opening.
4.
This purse used a recycled pair of jeans, and various fabric scraps. Also hand sewn, and finished with a zipper. (yes, the zipper was from a 2nd hand shop)


So there you have it. My four favourites. Tell me what you think!
