Greetings all & happy Creating Spacing this week!!
I've been playing around with different fabrics, ribbons & felt lately, all part of my master plan - to have new & exciting products at the next Handmade Market. While you can use expensive fabrics, ribbons & felt . . . you don't have to spend a cent on templates & shapes. The hero of this image is the melamine bowl from the Disneyland Hotel which accidentally came home with us (um, i said you don't have to spend a cent) . . . it's the perfect circle shape for the curve on my coin purses, the backround of my hair clip holders & for my penny wheel yo yos!!

Having one of those great weeks where my sewing is coming together on new projects, fabric arriving & fabric covered button MANIA. I see a weekend of hand sewing, my favourite of all crafts, genuine hand stitched detail, ahhhh, nothing better.
Have a Creative Spacey kind of day, thanks for hosting Kirsty, love Posie

Great idea to use a bowl for your template - it will never lose shape like a paper one. Pretty fabric/ribbon combo's as always! Nic
