One Christmas present finished

Last week Mrs P and I were discussing Christmas presents, and what tutorials were out in blog land that would be quick to finish and easy to understand.  We found quite a few but the stand out one was this journal cover from Bloom and Blossom.

I left it to Mrs P to try out first, because I'm lazy pathetic at trying out new things and I wanted someone else to try it before I did. If something doesn't work for me I usually throw it in the corner and forget about it forever.  After seeing Mrs P's absolutely gorgeous creation I was pretty sure I could make one too. I'm so glad I did, it was relatively easy, just a bit of a  huh? moment in one part of the tutorial, but I soon figured it out. So here it is


I used some left over pieces from the Japanese jelly roll quilt, and I bought the lovely red fabric from my LQS.

I'm so happy with it, I'm going to make some more, .............................................eventually. 



My baby (who is nice at the moment so I won't call her bitchypoo today) has been sewing too. She is making either Hooty or Tweet,  not sure which one, from Melly and Me.
