For the mermaid lover

I made this mermaid pencil case using denim & appliquing the mermaid on first using The same pattern as Dman's Pirate Quilt. And ofcourse I had to use the fish fabric for lining.








The birthday girl seemed impressed.



This arrived in the mail today from Bendigo Woolen Mills and I couldn't be more excited. I've been using Lion brand cotton yarn, which is nice but too thick for the project I'm about to start. I love that they sent me colour charts too with actual yarn samples. Big toothy grins all round.

Now to create...
