Random Patchwork plus a freebie

This pretty cotton material has been hanging around for a while now and after my little success (if I say so myself) with the patchwork cushion and Willows bunting, which she absolutely loved, I decided to give the patchwork another go. Its a bit random but looks quite pretty, I have loads more squares to cut out and sew yet, not sure what it will be or how big I'm just enjoying the process of sewing again.

 The freebie is a needlecase, after cutting out my squares yesterday I was left with the trimmings, I decided they were for the bin as I don't want to collect small scraps of fabric like I do pretty papers from my crafting, just incase they come in useful!!  So in the bin they went, about an hour later I was looking for a needle in my pin tin and had a brainwave, now they don't happen very often lol mmm I wonder if I can make a patchwork needlecase  Oh I know I'll use those scraps from the bin, so I did and here it is albeit a bit wonky, I don't care it does the job perfectly and and took care of the waste bits.



I added a bit of scrap felt from the lettering on Willows bunting and hey presto job done!


Willow's Bunting.
