Ready for my close-up?

My tutorial for this Binocular Bag is on the Sew Mama Sew blog today!


Completed bag garden

Now it just so happens that my husband bought himself a pair of binoculars for our Silk Route trip and has since found them very useful for making sure he doesn't miss any of the action at the cricket! The bag that came with the binoculars was a particularly boring black so was definitely ripe for replacement :) That's another present ticked off of the list then.


This month's link party is hosted by Martha at Weekend Doings. If you haven't come across Martha before do check out her blog, she is an amazing knitter, quilter, gardener and baker and posts the most marvellous photos. Her baking photos are guaranteed to make me feel hungry :)

If you are new to the party, let me fill you in on the details. Paula and I decided at the end of last year that Christmas 2014 was going to be different, this time round there would be no late-night sewing sessions or frantic last-minute dashes to the Post Office. This time we were going to work on Christmas and Holiday projects throughout the year so come December we would be so organised we wouldn't know what to do with ourselves :)

We decided to share our plans with our blogging friends and invite them to be organised too, with a monthly Link Party to provide a gentle nudge. In addition, each month we have a giveaway prize for one lucky linker!

This months giveaway prize is a mini charm pack of Be Jolly by Moda from the lovely people at The Fat Quarter Shop So, if you want to be in with a chance of winning this to help you get ahead of the pack with your Christmas crafting head on over to Weekend Doings and link up your Christmas and Holiday projects for June.



As ever we are very grateful to all of our lovely sponsors, who have generously provided a lovely variety of prizes to tempt you.

  2. WOW that's a great bag - what a gorgeous design! Congrats on the Sew Mama Sew feature - it isn't up yet, so they must be posting it on North American Wednesday, in several hours :D I'm with Fiona - while the bag would make a great Christmas gift, it seems like he could use the bag sooner rather than later!
