Seashells zipper pouch

 I recently added this cute little seashell purse to my Etsy shop. I love the bright colours of the shells and the soft yellow background really shows off the colours.

This little shell purse is the perfect size for makeup and is just big enough to fit all the essentials in. The purse is made form 100% cotton so machine washable too!

There's a white zipper closure to keep everything safe.

And it's lined in a fabulously bright orange cotton fabric.

This shell purse could also be used as a mini travel pouch. It's big enough to fit valuables such as phone and passport in and looks great in your travel bag too!

This little cutie makes a great summer gift for someone special. All items are wrapped in pink tissue paper and can be sent straight to their recipient with an optional gift message included.

Pool party gift bags

I'm channelling summer vibes today with this fabulous little gift bag set. Each one is made from a fun pool party-themed fabric and is perfect for gifting small items. They are made from 100% cotton which means they are washable and reusable and they also make great bags for travelling with. Use them to store items such as jewellery, toiletries or underwear in your suitcase.

The smallest bag in the collection is made from a sweet little sailboat fabric.

This is the perfect size for storing jewellery in.

The medium bag is made from a yellow print that includes bikinis, sunglasses and watermelons.

This is the perfect size for storing perfume or makeup in.

The largest print is inspired by the Florida Keys and includes brightly-coloured buildings, boats and beachwear.

This is the perfect size for storing toiletries in of for using as an underwear/bikini pouch.

These bags fold up small when not being used and look great too!

Nautical naughtiness in Sweden

We are currently enjoying a lovely summer holiday in Sweden, a country we knew nothing about before coming here. It's been fab so far with hot weather, good food and lovely people.

I am always on the lookout for inspiration for new design ideas and the latest is the nautical look. I've come to the perfect place! We've seen a lot of nautical-inspired items, from this lovely sunny porthole window, to the flush of a toilet! See bottom image....

I'm looking forward to producing some fab designs when I get home. In the meantime, bring on the smorgasbord and beer!

Fave fabric Friday

It's such a sunny day today I thought I'd mention this sunny fabric that I have in my collection. It's a Japanese woven obi fabric, but you would hardly know it as the colours and design are not typically Japanese. I found it at an antique market in Tokyo and the happy flowers drew me in as well as the shiny silver background - I'm like a magpie! Now I just have to decide what I'm going to do with it!
