I followed the Betsy template on the Debbie Shore bags galore CD to create this bag. I chose this bird fabric with a contrasting red spot print, and a red cotton lining. This version has a magnetic clasp fastening and an adjustable strap.

pleated treat...
I used this purple floral fabric from rose & hubble with a coordinating cream floral fabric (which doesn't have a name sorry!!) to make another zipped pouch. If you want to make your own, follow the link below to see my other blog post with the video tutorial:

I thought I'd share some more of my hand stitched felt key rings with you. I found a template on pintrest and printed it out. I then used this to cut the felt pieces to make the birds. Each one has two pieces for the body and two wings, I used a different shade of the coloured felt for the wings and chose embroidery floss to match. I laid the pieces out with a wing on each body piece making sure they were facing the opposite way so they would come together to make a bird. I then secured the wings with blanket stitch on the blue one and backstitch on the others. I added French knots in black thread to create eyes. I then stitched the two body pieces together using blanket stitch. Once part way round, I added stuffing to give the birds some shape and secured a loop of ribbon to attach the key ring and completed the stitching to close the gap. These were nice easy shapes to cut and sew, so they would be perfect for beginners !
