These 2 facinators are made from   bras  they are going to be used to support Breast Screen
A great fun project. The brief was to make a facinator from a bra to support breast screen but it had to have hand made lace on it.
The pink flowers are from Rosemary Shepherds book fantasy flowers , the cream piece on No 2 is from Jenny Fishers book

These 3 photos are of a bag I made, I had a fat quarter of the Gumnut fabric and wanted to put it to the best of use so used it on both sides and for the handle I only had about 1/4' of fabric left over.
This bag has 5 zippered sections 2 large enough to take spiral folders and the others big enough to take my tool kits for whatever lace I am working on at the time. And yes I am saving up to purchase a tripod.
