Going Zakka Style...

Hi everyone

Things have been a little Zakka Style around here.  I really loved the look of the Zakka Style book and wasn't disappointed when it arrived.  I had been keeping up with the Zakka Style Sew Along and getting inspired to actually make something from this book.

I have been pouring over it deciding what to make.  In the end, the sewing kit with pin cushion won!!

 
I really enjoyed making these.  It was fun picking out the colours and they were easy to make.  The instructions were clear so I didn't spend hours trying to understand them, always a bonus here!!

I didn't stop at just one, I ended up making 4 of them in total.  Mine is the green, that being my favourite colour.



These are going to make great little gifts I think.

Handstitched Circles and Colouring Wallets

This was a great week for finishing projects.

I managed to finish up the hand quilting I started a couple of weeks ago.  I really need to look into whether there is a less taxing way to hand quilt.  My forefinger and thumb have been so stiff since doing this quilt but the results were well worth it.





I also made a couple of Colouring Wallets (from JCasa Pattern Shop) for my nieces who are lucky to be heading to Vietnam with Mum and Dad for holidays.  Hopefully this will keep them amused on some of their long trips.


This week I am linking up to {Sew} Modern Monday at Canoe Ridge Creations.
