ASMR Bookbinding - Greatly requested
This won't be to everyone's taste......I do understand that. But I have been asked on many occasion if I would do an ASMR type video showing bookbinding with just the noise of me making. And I am always happy to oblige....even if it takes me years to do it, lol.
So here it is. For those of you who do like ASMR, I'm not sure how effective this video will be but I hope you enjoy it anyway. I don't expect anyone to watch this if its not your type of thing. But for those who do like the sound of pages being folded, cut and sewn, well, this is for you. Put your headphones on for the best results. Enjoy!
And if I don't see you before Christmas......have a great one! I hope 2022 brings much more joy and happiness to us all and especially much more good health. Get your vaccines people, lol.
That's it from me for now. Toodles Noodles.....Lee aka Crafty Loops xoWednesday, 15 December 2021
Handmade Paw Patrol Baby Bag/DIY Baby Changing Bag
It opens up to be a massive big bag. There is a tonne of room on the inside and should have plenty of space for nappies, cloths, toys etc.. Hopefully this bag will last for years to come. It would be perfect as an overnight bag. And it can be stuck in the washing machine...just unhook the adjustable strap and it goes through the washing machine with no issues.

Handmade cats - Pay It Forward Pattern
Last year, as Christmas gifts for my wee Nephew and 2 Nieces, I made them a Teddy Bear and Bunnies. I used a pattern from Lisa Pay and followed her tutorial from her YouTube channel. This year, I decided to make her little Kitty pattern. Her tutorial on YouTube is absolutely fantastic, click here. There was a bit more hand sewing involved in this pattern and hand sewing is never my thing, lol. But, I managed it......just about, teehee.

More Handmade Large Tote Bags - Disney's Dumbo & Sloths

Handmade Large Tote Bag
This is my 2nd zip and it creates the closure for the bag. It works really well.
This tote is quite large and would be perfect as an overnight bag to carry your cosmetics, phone charger, Kindle, ipad etc., or even perfect for a picnic or a days shopping. And seeing how plastic bags are not allowed in shops anymore, this bag would be perfect for sticking in the car and any time you needed to pop into the shops you could grab this to carry your goods.......or snacks......or ice-cream....Whoops....I meant, your fruit and veg, teehee
I added 2 extra pockets to the inside of the bag, one on each side. Perfect for your mobile phone or lipstick, wallet etc.,
This inside pocket, I divided into 2 and it would be a perfect space for your mobile phone.
Both sides of the tote have an expandable pocket. Perfect for a water bottle.....or dare I say, even a small wine bottle might fit (beer bottles would definitely fit)....and look....one on each side too.....so 2 wine bottles, teehee....after all, you have to distribute the weight evenly, so one on each side is only proper, lol
You could also store your mobile phone in these pockets too and they are deep enough that your phone would be safe and out of sight of sticky phalanges, teehee
The back is just plain but you could add another zip pocket if you wanted. I didn't feel that it was necessary as there are pockets on the inside, sides and front. I need to give it a wee press before gifting it to my wee Mamma. Can't have it going to her with wrinkles in it.
I love this bag and already have another one cut out and ready to go..
This Dumbo cotton fabric is so cute and a joy to work with,
And one last photo of the tote in all it's glory.
