I was lucky enough to test this pattern a couple of months ago. The pattern was really easy to understand and took a couple of hours to make from scratch. I used some of my favourite Cath Kidston fabric for the body. Buy them here.
Cath Kidston
New toys
Today I visited the Cath Kidston sale again and after much deliberating came away with a large sewing box. As you can see I have an almost identical smaller version but it hardly held anything.

I also decided to go back to my lovely old Motorola…
