A neat present
A friend of mine has recently had her birthday and this weekend we'll go to visit her. What present was I going to get her? Always a tough question, don't you think? As I was thinking of what to *buy* I suddenly thought: why don't I *make* her something?!
Although it was late and I was tired (no excuse...it's always late and I'm always tired) I got going and in about an hour the present was finished!
Once you have plan and go for it then really is so little work, isn't it? And the result is so rewarding!
I made a pocket tidy. I made them before as you can see here and here, but never out of oilcloth. It's definitely a success I think. I want to make more of these... I must get more oilcloth ;)
I will just buy some coordinating lime green cosmetics to put in the pockets and add a matching tissueholder and I'm all ready for the party!
That´s beautiful! Great gift!

That's so great. What sewing foot did you use? I tried to make a bag but think I need a teflon foot as it just kept sticking.. :(

That's a lovely present. I always love selfmade, personal presents, but this is is not only nice because it is selfmade but also just because it's really nice and beautiful. Chapeau!
