My makes from Hazel's project cards

My business associate, Hazel ( I think I give her a different title every time I mention her! I don't think she minds! 😍) has been developing the project cards which go into the Little Box of Fabulous, and making the samples, since the beginning! I'll be for ever grateful for her help and wisdom in my little business. So I thought it was time for me to sew my own makes from Hazel's project cards. 

Today I'm starting with the Tie-Up Tray and Travel Cup Cosy.

I used fabrics from my stash, Harbour Side by Lewis and Irene and Bumbleberries also from them. You need to use a very firm iron on interfacing to give it the structure, which is advised in the materials needed. I didn't have any cotton tape to use for the ties but made my own tape from the Bumbleberries fabric. It's a very clever design how it folds to form the basket, and a very handy container for my clips!

I've used the same fabrics for the Travel Cup Cosy. The pattern pieces are also supplied with this project card. It's a very quick make and has the added bonus of having a removable wrist strap, so when you've finished your hot beverage you can hang it from your bag! The binding for the cosy is cut on the bias, I like to make my own rather than use shop bought, I think the project looks more professional if it matches the other fabrics. Just my thought!

So there we are! Both these projects would make great presents. The instructions are printed on A4 card with plenty of colour pictures to help you. I hope you'll give these a go, and don't forget to share on our Facebook page.
