Fabric wrapped bead necklace

I've had this box full of beautiful fat quarters for a while (mostly Tilda's collections). I've only used some of them in 2 or 3 small patchwork projects. I find them too pretty and can't bring myself to cut them,  plus they look so nice all together, silly I know!

However, this last weekend while experimenting with fabric necklaces I decided to be ruthless! My fat quarters just seemed ideal for the kind of necklace I had in mind!

I chose two different patterns for each necklace. I cut them in a lot of small strips, then stitched together creating one long strip that then got folded in half and stitched into a tube. The tube was filled with plastic beads with knots between each bead.

Here are my fabric wrapped bead necklaces.

I think they look quite nice, don't you?

Fashion accessory- folded clutch bag

Hello,

Can you believe that July is here already?! I think to me June was the shortest month ever! Don't you think?
Time flies incredibly fast!
And tomorrow/ this early morning I will be going away on my long annual holiday to Poland to see my family!
I am incredibly excited!^_^

I have a few things to share with you that I worked on over past couple weeks.

In this post I would like to show you my holiday clutch bag.
I made it specially for my holiday.
It's small so it won't add any extra weight to my hand luggage but at the same time my travel documents as well as my mobile, music, lip balm and some cash would fit too!^_^

And it's so sweet too!

 Isn't it..?  What do you think?^_^
