Handmade Monday 113

Hello!  Welcome to another Handmade Monday.  Come on in, make yourself comfy and enjoy browsing all the blogs at the bottom of this post.  If you are new here, you can find out more about Handmade Monday here.

This week I've been drafting a pattern.  Can you guess what it is?

More clues?

Well maybe if I show you my graph paper drawing that I measured everything out on?

It's going to be a campervan tote bag!  I hope I finish it for my Pinterest party next week (I'm rather excited about that!).  If not, then I can always pin it (possibly in more ways than one, if it's not finished!)

that gorgeous blue star fabric is from Abakhan

As you can see, I have got round to putting a numberplate on it!  I didn't have any real idea what I wanted my numberplate to be, but VAN BAG somehow seemed appropriate!  The pattern will be available for sale as a digital pattern in the next few weeks but there's quite a bit of work left to get it to that stage!

I've also made a start on something quite exciting...

*cue drumroll*...

The Handmade Harbour website!  This will be for my sewing patterns, digital stamps for cardmakers and (eventually!) books, too.  I'm really excited, but there's still quite a lot of work before it can be unveiled.  I'll be asking for digital stamp testers and design team members quite soon, so if you think you might be interested, keep checking this blog.  I will also need sewing pattern testers soon too!  

It's all starting to change from feeling overwhelming to seeing light at the end of a very long tunnel, but there's still a long way to go!  I'm enjoying the journey now, though - and that's a really good thing, I think.

Meanwhile, it's over to you for Handmade Monday...
