I am in LOVE with this Amy Butler rug. If only they sold them here in Australia...and they didn't cost US$1,700. Drooool!

Market book bags

A friend asked me to make her a bag to cart around her uni books and laptop. This is what I came up with. I made another 2 of them to put in my Etsy store. Head on over if you'd like one or order one in another colour :)

New name, new image

So, as of today, Sunday 24 October, I have closed down my old blog website, Handmade by Evelyn Jackson. I've decided to give my look an overhaul in honour of trying to set myself up with my Etsy small business. I'll be making lots of different things for babies, kids and adults.

As you know, I've opened the shop with 5 Birdie Slings made with Amy Butler's Love collection as well as some Michael Miller fabric. I'm about to add another 2 market bags also made with Amy Butler home deco fabric. Love these colours and the size is just great.

Check out my new Etsy store HERE. You might find something you like for a Christmas gift :)

Robots quilt finished!

I really love how this quilt has turned out. My son has been watching me finish off the hand quilting every evening and he loves it too. It's his birthday in 3 weeks so it's a gift from me to him. Love you, Kai xo

My first cutsom order

This is my first custom order for 2 project bags. One for larger knitting projects and one for smaller projects. I hope your mum likes them, Melinda :)

Etsy shop reopening

I've finally finished my 5 Birdie Slings and I've listed them in my Etsy shop. Head on over to check it out. I'll be listing new things as I get around to making them. I plan on making some baby accessories and clothing as well as zippy pouches and fabric baskets.
