Sew exciting!

I recently bought myself a cheap, basic sewing machine. I have no experience with sewing and thought I'd have a go as there are so many gorgeous fabrics about that I get the urge to buy, and this is pretty pointless if you can't make anything out of them!

The first thing I made was a cushion for my friend's birthday, she's a big fan of purple and cushions. :)

As you can see, I have some lessons to learn in terms of lining up sections of fabric, but I thought it wasn't bad for a first attempt. :)

The second project was a handbag for another friend's birthday. She's also a fan of purple, and is very musical, so I went for a music theme.

 I found some cute little heart details which say 'made with love' so I've started to add these onto some of my handmade projects.

Lining of bag

I found some lovely cotton fabric with musical notes which I made as the lining of the bag, and the pocket lining.

What to sew next...? :)
