2nd December Advent is done.

Day 2 of Chandlers Cottage Advent Calendar.

 This was a fun one to do. Pity I didn’t have it 2 months ago.

Patterns and fabric to make a luggage tag. The white square is clear plastic with paper covering it to make it easier to sew. The strap is a cat collar.


While watching The Last Homely House with Kate on YouTube.
Sewing the stiffener on. I used bag batting.


And it’s done.


How cute is this


I put in a previously used name tag. This won’t be used on a suitcase at the moment.


I will need to find a project bag to use it on.
I could actual write on the tag whatever the project is in the bag.
Now, that’s a good idea!!!!!

It’s DECEMBER. Time for my Advent calendar to be opened.

 It’s the 1st December and I get to open and start my Chandlers Cottage Advent Calendar.

My daughter bought this for my Mother’s Day gift and it arrived last month. 

Today is the day to have a look inside. A hello letter.


Oh, it starts at day 6.


No it doesn’t. Flip through a few to find 1st December.


Open the envelope and inside there is. A pattern for a pentagon decoration and the fabric too.


There is also a barcode on the back of the directions to scan. This takes you to a short video tutorial of what is being made. So, I sewed all the log cabin pieces.


Trimmed to shape.


Stitched the backing on, turned right side out, stitched the opening closed and now it is finished.


Very quick and easy.
