Just a tree....

....but it seems to have created a bit of a stir!

I bought this beautiful fabric from e-bay a while ago.



I knew whatever I made from it I wanted the fabric to be the main feature - it was just so beautiful. I spent quite a long time looking at it before I managed to bring myself to cut into it. But finally, the first bag in my 'Tree of Life' Collection (ooo, how grand does that sound) was born.




That's spring done - just summer and autumn to go now.....

Whilst you're waiting, why not head over to Handmade Monday which is celebrating it's first birthday.
