Come back Woolworths....

Maille has been invited to a birthday party and wished to buy something from Ms Kidston's Emporium by way of a present.  How I miss Woolies - the establishment for purchasing birthday present items for many I think.  You could always find something suitable in Woolies.  Well I would not go to the Emporium but I did, kindly I thought, offer to make something out of CK fabric.  You recall my crinoline lady bags I am sure (lowers eye lids and blushes) - well as well as  buying 0.5 of a metre of fabric for Bronte's flute bag I also bought 0.5 of a metre for Maille - phew, always best to be even handed.  Late last night (22.45 to be exact) I made this from leftoevers:

I 'created' a little shelf for this to rest on for the photo - I pulled out a piece of fabric (1960s Sooty towelling fabric to be precise) and now cannot shove it back in...

In that 'too smug and satisfied with myself' sort of way I like how the zip turned out...

And of course my bottom is to be admired...thus -

Despite the cost of fabric (even at reduced prices I still consider it to be pricey) this still works out as a reasonably priced present I think.  We put some little bits and bobs inside.
