Introducing.... Fabric Scrap Flopsy !!

My second attempt at my idea for using up fabric scraps definitely worked much better than the first - the trick is don't bother trying to sew round things (I can never get them smooth enough), just go square !!

So here it is - the affectionately named "Flopsy" :



In case you are wondering exactly what it is, I found it actually has a few different purposes. The main idea at the start was to make a toy with lots of floppy, taggy things as my 21-month-old son still loves playing with and holding tags, especially when going to sleep. However, I thought it would also be a great pin cushion as you could also keep your needles on the little floppy bits.


And thirdly, it actually makes quite a good frisbee !

Let me know what you think and do you think I should make some to sell ? If so, what should I actually market them as?

More Diva Dresses on the way.....

Christmas is getting nearer and I'm getting busier and busier by the minute. The little Diva Dresses are becoming very popular and I'm trying hard to keep up with the demand along with getting enough ready for the BrisStyle Christmas Market on Saturday 13th December.

I have ordered some more fabulous designer fabric and it's on it's way. I just love so many of the beautiful designs that I have to stop myself from buying too much !!!

This is the most popular fabric so far and I will have some more available soon:



I'll also be making some in this fabulous Amy Butler Fabric - Wallflower in Sky with Full Moon Polka Dot in Slate as the trim:



And lastly, all of my home decor cushions have been sold but I've just made some new ones in Amy Butler's Wildflower in Rose fabric:



and I'll be getting some more of the gorgeous Deco Rose in Brown fabric by Amy Butler to make some more soon:




So check out my Etsy store http://www.littledivacrafts.etsy.com to see what's available now and join my blog to keep updated on when the new fabrics have arrived.
