Patchwork Coasters

My favorite of all glorious 30 days' worth of Handmade Holidays tutorials at Sew Mama Sew was November 12th's For the Table. I'm so into the linen-and-patchwork look that's showing up everywhere lately, and Foofanangle's tutorial was perfect for the linen yardage and Summer in the City charm squares I'd been saving.

 

Buy Handmade

I've been so busy working on Christmas gifts that I decided to treat myself to a bag by one of my favorite designers, Oh Fransson! I fell in love with this bag as soon as I read about it on Elizabeth's blog and was delighted to find it on Etsy. The mailman didn't disappoint...it's even lovelier in person! I have most of these fabrics in my stash and took a (tiny) while to justify the purchase, but this is the year to do it.
