A parting gift

Anna has a young friend who’s off travelling overseas for the first time, so she made her this as a going-away present. It’s a mini sewing kit, with threads, needles, pins, scissors and various other bits and bobs for minor emergencies. See the way it folds up nicely, like a travel wallet:

And here’s a couple of other items from two crafty ladies who came along to a workshop down in Melbourne. The first is a purse for spare change by Rebecca of Beccasaurus, and the second a tissue holder by Caroline (who also told me about the craft blog, Posie gets Cozy – for the pattern, click here).

Just three small ideas for things you could make in time for xmas – even if it is only a few days away.
