Recently it was my eldest daughters birthday, this year she decided that she didn't want a themed fancy dress party but would rather have a crafting party. So with the help of two of my dear friends, Nicola and Sam, we had 8 teenagers making three projects. The cake, as you can see above, I decorated appropriately for her party.
The first project was this very cute elephant brooch. I had all the pieces of felt cut out ready and the girls had to sew them together and put in the toy stuffing, sew on bead eyes and finally a brooch back.
The second project was these gorgeous little strawberries filled with lavender and sand, they can be used as pin cushions or lavender bags.
The third, and final, project was these lovely padded book covers that the girls embellished. I made the plain covers as pictured at the top and then using all the beautiful ribbons, buttons, roses and scraps of fabric they added their own stamp on their own book. Best of all they each had three handmade items to take home in a drawstring fabric party bag x
Wow, I need a new mum, please adopt me :o)
