Sewing for Mom

In my last post, I showed you the birthday cards I made for my mom and my sister.  

I also made my mom some pressies.  Before the summer holidays, I made myself a passport and travel document wallet (you can see it here), and my mom really liked it.  So I decided to make her one for her birthday.  

She likes blue, and she likes stripes.  So here's what I came up with.....







I decided to make a matching rosette pin for her too (you know how awful it is when your passport holder doesn't match your brooch).....


You can find the passport wallet tutorial I used here, and my super-easy rosette pin tutorial here.

Now I guess I'd better set my mind to 'Christmas Crafting' mode!  Have you started yours yet????

  3. OoooH! Christmas groan!!! Have I really got to think about Christmas prep!! :-)
    This passport wallet is gorgeous and a wonderful practical combination of colours. Why practical well I am sure your mother will find her passport straight away. I always buy purses ect in bright colours because I always use big bags and I have to hunt to find my purse.
    Are you going to sell these??? with matching brooch of course LOL!

    keep well
