Mothers Day Sewing

Just before Christmas my Mum and Dad bought themselves a caravan, and when I made this needlecase a while ago Mum hinted that it would be handy to have one in the caravan for when they are away on long trips. So this is what i've come up with for Mother's Day:

A covered journal for her to record all their trips in:

I used Natalie Bird's "From the Heart" pattern book for the stitchery

And a little zippered sewing pouch, complete with sewing goodies and a mini needle-case:

I modified Bloom's Journal cover tutorial for the journal, and used this tutorial from Twelve22 for the zippered pouch. The fabric I used was leftover from a quilt I made years ago (and for the life of me I can't remember what on earth it's called):

I think Mum is going to love her pressie.... lets just hope she doesn't decide to read my blog in the meantime!

Until next time...
