Autumn delights

I love this time of year. The leaves are changing colour and the weather is beginning to turn a little colder. To celebrate this I decided to add some autumn-inspired items to my store which include sweet apple designs and bright leaves in lovely fall colours. The leaf fabric is a cotton furoshiki that I bought in Japan. Furoshiki is a traditional fabric used for wrapping presents and they come in many interesting varieties. When I first moved to Japan I was intrigued by the choice of colours and patterns on offer and bought many of them for my fabric stash.

With the apple fabric I made a coin purse and card case combo. The red and white polka dot fabric was the perfect lining for both items.

The leaf fabric is a bold orange and beige colour and I decided to make a fab little tissue holder and glasses case. The perfect lining for these items was a brown and beige leaf fabric from Liberty.

It's back to school time, are you ready?!

Gift sets

I've recently been working on some gift sets to add to my store. So many of the fabrics lend themselves to more than one item, and I thought it would be a nice idea to make a feature out of pairing items together. At the moment the sets consist mostly of purses and glasses cases/card holder combos, but I will be adding more kimono clutch bag and coin purse sets as well as tote bag and coin purse pairings.

Apple clutch

Last friday was Fave Fabric Friday and I blogged about a pretty apple fabric I bought in Tokyo recently. I have now made it up into a pretty cotton clutch bag and here it is!

You can find it on my Etsy store here.
