    There is a new magazine out called Mollie Makes (or something similar) which I am in love with! It was about £5, but it was well worth it.

    claire, my mum wants me to make her a french memo board too, where did you get the cork board? thats so cheap!

    Since my last post,ive taken a plain tote bag (99p at hobbycraft), stencil painted a panda face onto it, and then sewn on buttons on the eyes and a box onto the hair.
    ive also made a simple necklace for the same person. i bought the black chain at hobbycraft yesterday for £1.50 a metre, and bought the charm (on an ugly chain) in a charity shop for 99p i think, and already had the lobster clamp and jump rings.

    I just a few days ago made a little red riding hood cape, but i havent taken pictures yet! :s
    What i did was took a hooded jacket, and drew around the hood onto my fabric. Then i made the hood twice as big, and with a point at the back. I cut out two of those and sewed them together, as a hood is sewn.
    For a cape i lay out flat on the fabric, with my shoulers on the top edge. Then i sat up without moving my legs and marked where i wanted the cape to end. Then i cut along that line.
    Then i folded all edges but the top over twice, pined, ironed and sewed. This made neat edges.
    Then i pinned the hood and cape together, nice shiny sides facing. The cape should be considerably bigger that the hood, so to get them equal lengths i pinned in some pleats (Well.. a lot of pleats) along the edge of the cape. Then a sewed that down.
    After wards i handsitched some ribbon on to tie the cape on with :p
    I'll try and get some photos and post up my project today or tommorow, so you can see some pictures.
    This might be of some help to you:

    Thought I would create a board where people could share what they're planning to make, and maybe get some ideas too!
    I know I'm stuck on a few people.

    So far I have made a vintage hat box for a friend. I found a plain hat box in hobbycraft, and have covered it with pretty papers in pink and blue, with lace and ribbon.
