Onto todays project, as it's the weekend I've had a little more time and decided to work with my stashed Stampin Up fabric to bring you this little quilted gift bag/box - perfect for putting a Jo Malone Orange Blossom candle in for a friends forthcoming birthday!
I've used the Beau Chateau fabric which is a perfect vintage print with colours of soft suede, pink pirouette, marina mist & very vanilla - delicious! I used the largest square framelit with the scallop edge to cut 10 pieces then brushed the dust off my John Lewis sewing machine and sewed them together - 2 pieces back to back filled with some fire retardant wadding.
Here you can see the frayed scallop edges which are just perfect for this vintage project (and a time saver ;)
I sewed some flower trim ribbon (126869 £6.25 for 1.8m) around the bottom for added prettiness and added the pink pirouette/rose red two tone ribbon (129294 £6.25 for 4.6m) and subtles pink button as finishing touches.
Then popped my candle in - a perfect fit!
This project only took half n hour to run up so will be making a batch of these for forthcoming birthdays and christmas, so if you're on my christmas card list then look away! ;)
PS The gorgeous pink paper in the background is my beloved Fan Fair ;)
Here's what I used ..
