Cheap & Cheerful

Organised as ever I left it quite late to purchase decorations and the like in time for The Royal Wedding. This resulted in me visiting several £1 shops and tat stores. I didn't actually find what I was looking for. It seems everywhere was sold out and all we ended up with was one Union Jack Flag from the supermarket.

While I was in one of the many £1 shops on the High St I came across these cotton bags

I thought they'd make a perfect quick and easy sewing project. They're 100% cotton & easily big enough for the girls to put a towel in for a day at the beach or a trip to the pool.

So on the Sunday afternoon after the excitement of the Royal Wedding and our visitors leaving I curled up in the chair by the window and set about decorating the bags.

It didn't take much to turn these simple little £1 bags into a pretty, personalised gift for my girls.

Seven pretty buttons and some thread
was all it took

Button Flowers and a bit of embroidery

Both girls loved their bag. I only wish I'd thought to buy more, they'd make great gifts.

Maybe I should go into £1 shops more often!! Who know's what little projects I might find!
