It’s a friends birthday tomo and so a close friend and I went shopping in St Leonards On Sea to a wonderful road called Norman Road which has some fabbie vintage and antique shops.
I found these little booties made from recycled yarn – and even though she/he will be born soon and these will probably only fit during the summer months so are very impractical – I just could not resist buying they were such a bargain!
Our friend has recently got really into gardening but adores vintage things with a passion so we have combined the two as a present for her birthday. We found some great old gardening tools and bought a long handled trowel and fork. I don’t have a picture of these yet – will add later.
I thought it would be really nice to make a little seed bag to go with them and got slightly carried away with embroidering it! I made two bags as the other will make a lovely present for someone else and its just as easy to make two. It’s the embroidery that takes the time. It’s a simple drawstring design but looks really lovely and I plan to fill it with seeds from the allotment shop tomo.
