Wedding

Hello, no excuse I know, but I've been busy preparing for my wedding which is this Friday and neglected my blog.
Here's a few things I've been working on. This is my bouquet, which I have made with organza and a small piece of Satin. I made each rose by sewing a strip of fabric in half and gathering one side, then twisting it round into a flower. The base of the bouquet is a kitchen whisk stretched out and filled with stuffing. I then sewed each flower onto the wire base:

For my hen do all my lovely friends and family joined me in making clutch bags which we will all showcase at the wedding. Here's mine which I made to match my bouquet:
Finally, these are my favours which I've just finished making. A small glass jar filled with bon bons. I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut out a rose to match my invites and then put red card behind for the label:

Fabric book

After having a good sort out and tidy up of my craft room on New Year's Day I'm now determined to finish off some projects that I've started. So many that are nearly done. This fabric book I started on crafty weekend of workshops I went on last year.
