1 day projects

My friend, Katie, wanted a rucksack for her birthday. I decided to try and make one. Not bad for a first attempt!

I would also like to make my friend, Harry a little present because he is so lovely! Here are a few ideas of what I would like to embroider onto a cushion, maybe? Just because he loves Tim Burton as much as I do! I'm still undecided.
