Men presents




I can show you photos of some things made for the favourite man in my life for Christmas. I had to work on it while he was out of the house, but you always want to make a few stitches at the week-end, don't you, and I couldn't on this project.








He needed some bags for his business travels for his shoes and his washing, so I made them. And then I made some more for another man in my life (my brother but he hasn't had them yet, I trust he doesn't read my blog).


With my wonderfull sewing machine, I love it, I was able to add their names on the items.
I chose the english terms "Shoe bag", because it was quicker than "Sac a chaussures", but I kept "Sac a linge" in french.


The fabric was a remnant from Laura Ashley, and thicker than quilting cotton. And I added two little zippered pouches, to keep the little bits you always lose in a big bag.

Merci pour ton gentil message. Toi aussi tu fais de jolies choses. Il va falloir que je fasse la même chose à mon petit mari qui va aller travailler loin de moi (snif).
