Character Cushions and Cards

This week I've been using a fabulous Sanderson fabric called 'Take a Gander', which dates from 1979. 

I made three cushions.

I found the classic Marks & Spencer 70's fabric coordinated beautifully with it and is the version printed on strong textured linen-look cotton, so ideal for the reverse of the cushions.

I also made a tote bag with two of the lovely geese featured on the front. 

It fastens with a fabric loop and an old leather coat button.

The lining is a pretty floral vintage fabric.

I created a barkcloth bag today too. 

This one fastens with a large Deco coat button.

Reverse...
And lining.

I spent this afternoon card making again. Using some of my damaged Beatrix Potter books, I made a selection of blank cards suitable for many occasions, but all featuring little mice...
Some very good, helpful little mice...

And one or two quite naughty ones!

Have a lovely weekend,
