Having worked out how much fabric I was going to need for this project, I decided it was time to go shopping! I had my heart set on a black & white colour scheme but I soon changed my mind when I found this gorgeous fleur-de-lys fabric in cream and gold…..perfect! For contrast I’m using crushed faux silk – it’s shot and the colour on this is amazing.  Finally I chose gold satin for the border. I’m really looking forward to making a start on this now I have the fabric, I just need to find some spare time! I’ll post pictures as I’m going along for anyone who’s interested in seeing the process.

Here’s a simple little purse I made to keep my contact cards safe and tidy in my bag. There’s nothing worse than having to get out a tatty card to give to someone! I love this Goth Girl fabric I bought on Ebay a while back and I found some plain red in my stash which matches perfectly for the lining. I finished it off with a little bit of dotty ribbon and a heart button.
