Hanmade sneaky peek!

I have been super sewing busy recently. I have been making a few new things, but also expanding on things that I am confident in doing.

So I thought you would like a sneaky peek!

It includes a few bags, cushions, hand embroidery, bandana bibs, a new business card and lots of applique. I hope you like!

 

 

nice crafty ideas

I haven't done this for a while, so hope you enjoy some inspiration!

Hanmade bag

I had a special request from a friend to make her a Hanmade bag. She said I had all the freedom of shape and size. OK I said and got to thinking. I choose to make a bag I had once made before so I had the pattern already.

 

 

 

She wanted a mixture of fabrics and a magnetic snap. I also added a pocket to the  lining.

I think it turned out well.

And she loves it.

Its great seeing other people strutting around with a Hanmade bag!

 

Hanmade stamp

So I have been busy making cards and other special bits and my husband suggested, well bought me, my very own Hanmade stamp! Its excitng, I know simple things! Its means making my 'stamp' much easier and quicker.

 

Here it is

Isn't it fab?!

 

I looks forward to stamping all those cards I make!

 

Hanmade Sale

I enjoyed selling some Hanmade items recently through Facebook to friends and family. I was suprised at the response I got and sold out my items plus further orders on top! Plus a friend of mine was so impressed that she is hosting the first Hanmade Party in November! Its great as it was her idea to host and to invite her friends to come and buy Hanmade. So I am now busy getting ready to make some stock up.

 

Here are some of the lovely things I made in the Hanmade Sale.

Hope you like them!

 

 

 

Hanmade bread

ok its sunny and warm, but we have no bread, so we made our own. It worked really well, following this simple recipe.

 

1lb of strong bread flour

I sachet of 7g dried yeast

10 fl oz of warm water

1 tbsp oil

 

Mix all the dry ingredients together.

Add the wet ingredients, stir together with a wooden spoon.

Flour your work surface and kneed for 6 minutes.

Return the mix to your bowl, cover with cling film and put in a warm place for an hour.

 Look how much its grown!

 Knock it back, kneed it for 30 seconds.

Fold into three and put into your oiled loaf tin.

Return to warm place for 30 minutes.

Watch it grow again!

 My loaf tin was soo small for the size of the mix, so I chopped abit off and made three other rolls.

Put onto the middle shelf ina preheated oven for 20-30 minutes, until its golden on top.

To double check its backed, knock the botton of the tin and it should sound hollow.

 

Perfect, just in time for lunch.

My daughter enjoyed making this bread and eating it too!

Hanmade bird cards

I am loving cute little birds at the moment. I thought I would combine this with the need to make a few greeting cards.

 

Here are a few I made

 

 

 

 

 

 

And why not make some envelopes to go with them. I found some pretty wallpaper which

did the job well!

Why dont you have a try!
