More zip keychain pouches

I made some of these pouches as Christmas gifts to post to family and friends, and got hooked!  

Since this year I'm going to re-open my Etsy and Madeit shops, I thought I'd make a start on some stock for them.

(They are made using my own tutorial - which you can find here.)

They are all made with fabric scraps - the denim from old jeans.

The zips have cute little gold pulls on them.

They just add that extra special touch to these cute little pouches don't you think?

Once I've got a few more things made, I'll get back to my stores and find out how to re-open them again!

Will keep you posted!

Any Etsy or Madeit hints and tips would be gratefully appreciated!

A bit of stitching!

Since I've been absent from the blog for a couple of weeks now, I thought I'd show a quick picture of something I've been sewing!

I had several kids to get Christmas presents for and post around the World. I like to make things for the kids so they always get something that you can't buy in the shops, but also light to post, as postage from Australia is very expensive!

This year, I made everyone a little keychain pouch with a personalised rag tag to go with it.

I had fun choosing the fabrics from my scrap boxes to go with the jeans denim; and I'm really pleased with how they turned out! 

I was so intent on finishing them, and getting them wrapped and in the right packages for the right families and countries, that I forgot to photo all of them.

So there you go - that's one thing I've been up to sewing-wise lately.

This week I have to make new roman blinds for my girls new bedrooms!  

I will share pictures when I'm finished those too!

Hope everyone is well, and managing to get in some Christmas sewing or crafting!!
