The final sew hot brand rep parcel!

 

For my final Sew Hot brand rep parcel I was sent the Tula Pink Besties fabrics. The prints are so bright and fun, with some lovely character prints. Since I was sent some half-metre cuts this time, I was excited to use them and make some slightly larger projects. 

First up was some storage. I wanted a large pouch or tote to store my webbing together. Since my sewing room has some glass cupboards, it is only right that I make some pretty storage. I chose the Gus tool bag pattern by Indigobird designs. I made the small size as it fits perfectly into my deep billy bookcase. I love the style of this caddy and best of all no binding. I think that is the main reason it is a nice and quick make. The instructions are great and so easy to follow too.

My second project was a new bed for Millie in my sewing room. I already had a dog bed/pillow that she liked but it had a brown cover, which just didn't look nice in my sewing room. Of course, I wanted a pink quilted one and when this dog print fabric came, I just knew I had to do it. 

I added some more Tula pink fabric I had left over from a quilt I made, which worked perfectly. I think the stripy binding adds some fun and really makes the print stand out. 

I made the cover with a zip so it can be easily removed and washed too. I was asked on Instagram if I would be making it available as a pattern. I didn't plan to make it a proper pattern for sale but will be doing a free blog post tutorial with all the measurements and some basic instructions, so keep an eye out for that if you are interested.

I am sad this is my last Sew Hot brand rep parcel. I loved the challenge of getting the surprise fabric, which wasn't always to my taste, but using it to make something lovely and show off the fabrics. The team at Sew Hot have been great and the special brand rep retreat for the reps was wonderful. All the other brand reps are fabulous makers and it has been a joy getting to know them this year. 

It has been a wonderful experience and I'm so pleased Sew Hot gave me the opportunity this year. 

I can't wait to see what the new team of brand reps do next year.
