Room Shoes : PDF Pattern Fun

What do make for a friends birthday who has everthing ? Room Shoes thats what! 

I found the pattern for the room shoes on the I Think Sew website with lots of wonderful PDF patterns designed by the talented Sue Kim.

It was really hard to choose which pattern to buy as they all looked so wonderful. I chose no 217 Olivia Women Shoes PDF Pattern to make for my friends birthday gift. 

Olivia is a brillant and comprehensive pattern which is quick, easy and fun to make, here are the happy results....

Matching fabric remnants I bought from a charity shop

They look super duper, and the PDF pattern has shoe 6-11 (US) sizes so I can make some more as gifts for other friends (as long as I know their shoe size), oh and myself!

To finish the gift I will be making a matching shoe bag too.

let me know what you think :D

Joining the world of Blogging - A new handmade life

Me in my already ready to go craft room

Ok I'm a little late in the blogging game, but I'm super excited. I have loads of ideas on what to do, write about, giveaway and most of all share. Sharing is the best part. I should really write these ideas down, I don't really have the most reliable brain.

In about 4 weeks I will be losing my full-time job in science, it was only a 2 year contract but I was really hoping to stay longer. So not for the first time I have had to rethink what to do with my life again. I've just always wanted to find my niche, something I'm good at, a specialism.

Then one day like Dorothy Gale in the Wizard Of Oz I realized I didn't have to look that far, I’ve had it all the time in my own back yard.

So I’m going into the full-time handmade bag making business. I'm going to build on my knowledge & experience of making and selling bags over the past 6 years on Etsy. Until now it’s only been a very happy hobby, but now I'm ready to step it up.

Over the next few months I’m going to do lots of thinking, planning & coffee drinking to see how to take the big step forward into being my own boss and hopefully make a living doing what I love & enjoy - sewing.

This blog is my first step in many,

Emma :D:D:D

p.s this is sooooo exciting
