A homemade present has become a part of the birthday ritual for Lauren. Last year I made her a
butterfly mosquito net, this year a sewing kit. The needlebook and matching pincushion I made of felt. I couldn't find the time to
sew the whole kit, as I originally intended, but bought a box instead at a hideous store for almost nothing. I changed the look a bit and added my 'vervlogen dagen' button.
The lady in
my favourite fabric store used to say that "there are no people living at the back", when I excused myself for the messy back of a quilt top. In case of the needlebook and pincushion an embellished, people might also live at the back, hence the embellishments. I put also three Kaffe Fasset fat quarters in her kit, for the sake of matching colors.
And for now, let them eat cake! Happy Birthday, lieve Lauren.
Such a lovely present!
