Dream Big

I got a lovely parcel in the post yesterday from Paper and String. Felt felt and more felt!

I was asked to do a little craft stall at a friends Christmas fayre in November...I said yes despite the fact I have nothing to sell...as yet!! So I'm back in the making doing midnight sewing malarky again.

I came up with this idea today and I'm quite pleased how it turned out. I've never printed words onto fabric before, but I like the idea of having little inspring quotes or words sewn onto the decorations. Its good to finally be using the fabric paints I bought years ago!! I knew they'd come in handy one day.

I'm all for pretty packaging, so I was thinking of doing something like this...

I'm aiming for a 50's aesethic, as I love and avidly collect vintage childrens books and I just love some of the illustrations from the 1950's. Rockets, robots, moons and balloons! I need to get some stickers or business cards with my name and contact blurb on.

It still needs some tinkering with, the basket needs to be a little smaller and I might change how I sew the printed fabric on, but apart from that its not bad for a first attempt!

Please let me know what you think or any nice words or quotes you think I could use!

Thanks lovelies :)

Rain....pah!
