<div>
Hi Everyone<br />
<br />
At the end of last year I <a href="http://blog.formylittlemonster.com/2015/12/pantone-2016-colours-of-year.html">hinted</a> to the fact that I had some really big news to share with you all...well the time has finally come to share it :)<br />
<br />
I'm re-branding!<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8ajzcBffPippfYqCY3UknRe-w1HUx1onsAi_0WuJ05heaKUojEZUlE4IYv1NO4VQpzBxUuwGtzOEZA8nOimmxtb4lFTwPDn_bsSoi8aykX0Zgu0K6V416eD6cC-5VAUDA_CL-IHW2HEc/s1600/siteheader.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="86" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8ajzcBffPippfYqCY3UknRe-w1HUx1onsAi_0WuJ05heaKUojEZUlE4IYv1NO4VQpzBxUuwGtzOEZA8nOimmxtb4lFTwPDn_bsSoi8aykX0Zgu0K6V416eD6cC-5VAUDA_CL-IHW2HEc/s640/siteheader.jpeg" width="640" /></a><br />
<br />
<b>Why am re-branding?</b><br />
<br />
For a long while now I have felt that "For My Little Monster" doesn't really fit anymore, I feel like I have out grown the name. I chose the name "For My Little Monster" around 5 years ago, and at the time I was sewing mainly toys and selling these toys to my customers, so at the time that that name suited me.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDkdCzblfg4CLLQYNrnq8iF6qWhmclbIlPWcz-I_g6faFjrL9I0crdK58KKeTqxwvvMiQDGRd64MC4Neujh170d0bxyG3gyFBkNiRaXFPNTW51LGJFP0rmzrinxJ-gf5WMpW-xrPBsX7w/s1600/finished+order+for+denise.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="132" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDkdCzblfg4CLLQYNrnq8iF6qWhmclbIlPWcz-I_g6faFjrL9I0crdK58KKeTqxwvvMiQDGRd64MC4Neujh170d0bxyG3gyFBkNiRaXFPNTW51LGJFP0rmzrinxJ-gf5WMpW-xrPBsX7w/s320/finished+order+for+denise.png" width="320" /></a></div>

A small sampling of what I used to sew to sell...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Top image: my monsters (which I designed myself in 2011); </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Bottom image: my playhouse (made using a self drafted pattern).</div>
<br />
Now however, I don't really sew toys and I don't sell any sewn goods to customers either. I only really sew for my family and friends and the majority of what I sew these days are handbags.<br />
<br />
<u>What I actually do now</u> is design handbags and I write sewing patterns for these handbags (which I sell <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/ForMyLittleMonster?ref=hdr_shop_menu">here</a>), this has only added to the feeling that my old name doesn't really fit anymore, as the majority of my patterns are aimed at adults not children.<br />
<br />
So, from today, the name of my pattern business and blog will be changing to "Emkie Designs".<br />
(This change will also effect my domain name ;D )<br />
<br />

You will still be able to find all my patterns for purchase <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/ForMyLittleMonster?ref=hdr_shop_menu">here</a>, and all future patterns will be released under my new name...<a href="http://www.emkiedesigns.com/">Emkie Designs</a>!<br />
<br />
<b>Why did I pick the name Emkie Designs (pronounced: Em-Key)?</b><br />
<br />
I came up with a number of names that were great, but most of them made me feel like they pigeon holed me, and I wanted a name I could grow and develop with!<br />
<i><br /></i><i>But "Why Emkie?" I hear you say!?!</i><br />
<br />
All because of my mum really ;) Since I was a little girl she has called me Emkie, I feel like it represents my past and my future and am really excited about this change :)<br />
<br />
I hope you like what you find here...why don't you have a look at my new <a href="http://emkiedesigns.com/about/">About Page</a> to find out more about me and what you will find on my blog from here on out?<br />

<br />
Pantone just announced its 2016 Colours of the Year, and it's the first time ever that there are two: Rose Quartz and Serenity Blue! Since this announcement, I have seen a lot of people are not really happy with the <a href="https://www.pantone.com/color-of-the-year-2016">Pantone colours for 2016</a> on social media. I however am really happy with them - Pink and Blue are some of <a href="http://blog.formylittlemonster.com/2013/09/my-favourite-colour-ways-right-now.html">my favourite colours</a> and colour combinations! I want you all to see the positive side of these colours too...so I'm going to share some bag inspiration with you all, and I hope by the end of this post, you are loving these colours just like me :)<br />
<br />
So what is all the fuss about? These are the colours, they are named "Rose Quartz" and "Serenity Blue"...<br />

Obviously this bag is not handmade, I mean it's a "Valentino" ;) but I think you could make a great handmade version of this bag using <a href="http://www.chriswdesigns.com/collections/all/products/the-city-slicker-bundle">this Chris W Designs pattern</a> that would help you replicate this fabulously pretty bag!<br />

This is a really pretty one that I found...and with a few small adjustments to <a href="http://emmalinebags.com/collections/sewing-patterns/products/the-totes-ma-tote-pdf">Emmaline Bags Totes-ma-tote pattern</a> you could have a similar bag to use when you go out to coffee with your friends ;)<br />
<br />
But these bags were all made with leather/vinyl and I prefer to make bags using cottons...never fear my friends! Here are some great fabrics I have to show you, that will help you make your bags in this years colours :)<br />
<br />
Kate Spain's ranges Canyon and Aria are just perfect...see...<br />

So did it work? Are you a convert? Don't you just love these colours! I'm really looking forward to seeing how you might incorporate these colours into your bag making in 2016 :)<br />
<br />
Now, this will be my last post for the year :( I know sad right!<br />
...BUT, I have some super exciting news coming for you all in the new year and I have had such trouble keeping the secret from you all, with only a few more weeks to wait I think I'll be alright now ;D<br />
<br />
I hope you all have a great holiday period, happy sewing!<br />
Emma<br />

Hi Everyone!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Today I want to introduce you to my new pattern...the Run & Play bag :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9RQnHEj1w7cfLl0pEzcw5aNHLnt7qhm_DxUHAlkAhmmJxIlRBfpY0qSpR6Gu_IMnYThD3mSsLEzv01vSagA1ay6z-v1XqJaf4Qt-VLt3PsfizIrdos-7JyOOmfWaW8R2Jy8gHnQeVWOA/s1600/finishedCollage.jpg"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9RQnHEj1w7cfLl0pEzcw5aNHLnt7qhm_DxUHAlkAhmmJxIlRBfpY0qSpR6Gu_IMnYThD3mSsLEzv01vSagA1ay6z-v1XqJaf4Qt-VLt3PsfizIrdos-7JyOOmfWaW8R2Jy8gHnQeVWOA/s640/finishedCollage.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Let me tell you more about this fabulous pattern and its features...<br />
<br />
The Run & Play Bag can be made as either:<br />
- A Shoulder Bag, OR<br />
- A Cross-body Bag<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTyN5DUVgXPjwELGdhwTx3IShQLocbtGzwwSVQNZym9eHERCyltBaybe_3_mpRwpjWl7xiZaOSpjCk3FTJD8uYs4-1N3kC33wWb33RI3TtOnn4cMmOYKGB0ihwQDaYif1OGo-2C9HfBiQ/s1600/two.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTyN5DUVgXPjwELGdhwTx3IShQLocbtGzwwSVQNZym9eHERCyltBaybe_3_mpRwpjWl7xiZaOSpjCk3FTJD8uYs4-1N3kC33wWb33RI3TtOnn4cMmOYKGB0ihwQDaYif1OGo-2C9HfBiQ/s320/two.jpg" width="195" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnHLFPjxDz6YWe2ukoq7uSgcT3OtzWlXzzC4o996A_1aOr5sukRpiWzPJugpjzbCZ4xMDT9RoSBnlKAmedPAB_B3FtALD3Y5KwBkip2pjOWFRtjrog4ibF7_jwWAvWdwG0-A9tuWz-a6M/s1600/four.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnHLFPjxDz6YWe2ukoq7uSgcT3OtzWlXzzC4o996A_1aOr5sukRpiWzPJugpjzbCZ4xMDT9RoSBnlKAmedPAB_B3FtALD3Y5KwBkip2pjOWFRtjrog4ibF7_jwWAvWdwG0-A9tuWz-a6M/s320/four.jpg" width="147" /></a></div>
<br />
If you make the Run & Play Bag as a shoulder bag then you will find that the shoulder strap even has a super fun element on it – a zip!<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhh3_1xpkV6J3lkLM6lrFI_IIvcIHSiZ05kVd_p5j-wXVmQ6r1K-bqayyw3J3STzmPtZ9UtdlLfvwz4XXeCUg0Lj8ikwneyyrY1-PYH0xJK89LVlOYIRzVy008lYhhvmYdIUnFRzdZ8kPA/s1600/ShoulderCollage3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="226" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhh3_1xpkV6J3lkLM6lrFI_IIvcIHSiZ05kVd_p5j-wXVmQ6r1K-bqayyw3J3STzmPtZ9UtdlLfvwz4XXeCUg0Lj8ikwneyyrY1-PYH0xJK89LVlOYIRzVy008lYhhvmYdIUnFRzdZ8kPA/s320/ShoulderCollage3.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div>
<br />
<br />
The finished size of the Run & Play Bag measures approximately 9” tall x 12½” wide x 3” deep (23cm x 32cm x 5cm). These measurements do not include the drop of the Shoulder Strap/Adjustable Strap.<br />
<br />
The Run & Play Bag has a unique angular flap, with magnetic snap closure. Inside the bag you will find a small zip pocket.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
The Run & Play Bag is a very quick project - it took my testers between 1 and 4.5 hours to complete the bag. That time includes: printing the pattern, cutting the fabric, applying the interfacing and sewing the bag! <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEqGhWAxhQYrIPXj6fyHmpIqGhbBKBPJgBKCyrruj5Vv3OJ4NuefZ-DGvY4DDAKhoGQ3TYlQONu39U2FtVC9q9VmEFkztTzPdwhyvB_VcITuzje1xAYdPxRVb4ywg-pCa2rByJdFPU0y0/s1600/ShoulderCollage2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="226" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEqGhWAxhQYrIPXj6fyHmpIqGhbBKBPJgBKCyrruj5Vv3OJ4NuefZ-DGvY4DDAKhoGQ3TYlQONu39U2FtVC9q9VmEFkztTzPdwhyvB_VcITuzje1xAYdPxRVb4ywg-pCa2rByJdFPU0y0/s320/ShoulderCollage2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Because it is such a quick sew, this pattern would be great to make as gifts for friends, and family during the holiday season! It would also make a great quick sew for teachers gifts at the end of the school year ;)<br />
<br />
<div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
The Run & Play Bag is classed as a "Beginner - Confident Beginner" level pattern. The only part of the bag construction that moves it in the direction of "Confident Beginner" is the internal zip pocket...so if you are a beginner bag maker who is not confident with zips, you can just leave that out...OR using the great colour photos and instructions included in the pattern you might choose to tackle your 1st zip pocket!<br />
<br />
So if this sounds like a pattern that is for you, it can be purchased from my <a href="http://blog.formylittlemonster.com/p/shop.html">Shop</a>, on <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/ForMyLittleMonster?ref=hdr_shop_menu">Etsy</a>, or on <a href="http://www.craftsy.com/user/1360659/pattern-store?_ct=fqjjuhd-lyum-qbb-fqjjuhdi-ro-tuiywduh&_ctp=130476,1360659">Craftsy</a> right now!<br />

This is Merja's Run & Play bag. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Merja used some vintage fabric for the flap on her cross-body version </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and as you can see she has added some lace too, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This is <a href="http://maria-filalagulla.blogspot.com.es/">Maria</a>'s cross-body version of the Run & Play Bag.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Maria didn't use any medium weight interfacing on the external parts of her bag, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She used a thick corduroy for the outside bag and </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a heavyweight upholstery fabric for the flap. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She also chose to use foam stabiliser in her bag...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"I used foam as stabiliser and it worked wonderfully, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
even for the flap" - which has given it a lovely shape.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"Oh my gosh! I LOVE the Run and Play bag. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I didn't have any issues or problems when making it, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
AND the lining fits perfectly, no baggy bottom! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Also there are some things in the pattern I really liked:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1. The cutting guide - yours is so clear! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2. The hints to mark the darts.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Lindsey made the cross body version, and it was </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
actually stolen by her young daughters (4yrs and almost 2yrs) numerous times! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So she has a few more that need to be sewn up now ;)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She took the bag out on some errands one day, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and had this to say"it seems to be a good fit. I was able to fit 2 wallets, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
4 diapers, a wipes container, my cell phone, and a toy horse in there!"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Don't they look great?!<br />

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
A few weeks ago it was my dad's birthday...last year I made him <a href="http://blog.formylittlemonster.com/2014/11/tgiff-october-wrap-up.html">this</a>, (scroll down to R2-D2).</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So this year he had to get a C3P0 to match!</div>

<br />
I used <a href="http://www.craftsy.com/pattern/quilting/other/lego-c3po-pieced-pattern/59903">this</a> FREE foundation paper piecing pattern by <a href="http://quietplay.blogspot.com.au/">Quiet Play</a><br />

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
And then I used fabric marker to draw on some pulpils, and framed it like the last one, and gifted it to him :)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
What gifts do you make the men in your life? I need some more ideas ;)</div>

<a href="https://instagram.com/jackiegillies/">@jackiegillies</a> on Instagram has been trying to raise awareness about domestic violence and the appalling number of women who have been killed at the hands of a violent partner this year!<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Here is what Jackie had to say in Mid September 2015 about her initiative:<br />
"I put out the call for the donation of quilt blocks following the horror week we have had in Australia with two more women killed at the hands of an intimate partner or relative. The murders bring the total to 62 for the year - an appalling number given that it's almost 2 per week.<br />
<br />
My plan is to make some quilts to donate to some domestic violence shelters and charities whose function is to resettle women and kids who have escaped violent situations. <br />
Many of you have indicated an interest in getting involved. It seem that, like me, you want to do something positive in all the heartbreak and harrowing stories that seem to the mainstay of our news cycles of late. For that, I say thank you. đź’–"<br />
<br />
Jackie chose the <a href="http://www.blossomheartquilts.com/2015/01/bee-hive-tic-tac-toe/">tic tac toe block tutorial from Blossom Heart Quilts</a> for everyone to make and donate blocks if they wanted too.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
She dubbed these blocks, "<a href="https://instagram.com/explore/tags/quiltblockstohealviolence/">#quiltblockstohealviolence</a>, and the ultimate quilts will surely brighten the lives of some women and children and they will be wrapped in our love and support. "</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Seeing as I believed this was such a great cause, I decided to make a few...</div>

<br />
My Bloggy friend <a href="http://www.sewdelicious.com.au/">Ros from Sew Delicious</a> is moving to China next year! So a group of us got together to make her some more mloks for a quilt we know she is working on.

<br />
A week or so ago I decided to make a little something for a special birthday girl...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMToQJPS82EZsrU-BApFqCZwKjMq4F64toER8I7KXv99JZOZDWtrM1B0KfW71xuA4Iip3RUkY0RYJ18ip1wuJ7rdtvP6nUB80ExzDc5knFBpXa38-7oMyTuyU0r6QbbLUy7xnDK_Tijpo/s1600/IMG_2700.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMToQJPS82EZsrU-BApFqCZwKjMq4F64toER8I7KXv99JZOZDWtrM1B0KfW71xuA4Iip3RUkY0RYJ18ip1wuJ7rdtvP6nUB80ExzDc5knFBpXa38-7oMyTuyU0r6QbbLUy7xnDK_Tijpo/s320/IMG_2700.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Then I though...I know another special someone who was having a birthday a few months from now...so I decided to make 2...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBamJFo5Fwaq2CxxZoA7Cg3LcklnO_cDMeHQ6QtoKfvs5DeMX1UzBRH0xc-Nhjy3IuNk7vSj0WVeUmfU3lxt92V2q5HCWevBfx7PWLVBtDmHi1CN5ftlMDhF_0ltpwxTwr398g-qEzeHs/s1600/FullSizeRender+%25281%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBamJFo5Fwaq2CxxZoA7Cg3LcklnO_cDMeHQ6QtoKfvs5DeMX1UzBRH0xc-Nhjy3IuNk7vSj0WVeUmfU3lxt92V2q5HCWevBfx7PWLVBtDmHi1CN5ftlMDhF_0ltpwxTwr398g-qEzeHs/s320/FullSizeRender+%25281%2529.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>

<br />
A few weekends ago I wen to my 1st ever <a href="http://aussew.org.au/">Australian Sewing Guild</a> meeting. I decided to make a skirt for myself while there, havinf never sewed for myself before I decided the "Isabella banded skirt" looked easy enough :) <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWP-FjA-xshR9WFQ8ChaXh4EeJA3FDdspKg1V5DCilOwLkhT1UzZkYh005k_X1gTh2djkQDRgpgyEcPVsP_1jqbmEgJnUiE77v4xXMW2xaXNoZt_h6itO9Pviu9poN-embJqoFHrc3Slk/s1600/IsabellaBandedSkirt.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="261" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWP-FjA-xshR9WFQ8ChaXh4EeJA3FDdspKg1V5DCilOwLkhT1UzZkYh005k_X1gTh2djkQDRgpgyEcPVsP_1jqbmEgJnUiE77v4xXMW2xaXNoZt_h6itO9Pviu9poN-embJqoFHrc3Slk/s320/IsabellaBandedSkirt.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
So I sewed it up, and I'm sorry to say it was just the wrong shape for me! I was quite disappointed as I loved the fabric so much! (The fabric was from Spotlight).<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwdtGX3E6MJ3sAX5jNEnsoXd3Auj924Hy4-SjnDOYy0d6u95AltjhptbHsw-waaQHZheSVxfc3BZe5J_fsdLWhi5vOC9hyvMGoUD6VNLz2soK_ROizw7tEZEzSka5aS4KkPu_00ort3z8/s1600/oldtonew.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="254" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwdtGX3E6MJ3sAX5jNEnsoXd3Auj924Hy4-SjnDOYy0d6u95AltjhptbHsw-waaQHZheSVxfc3BZe5J_fsdLWhi5vOC9hyvMGoUD6VNLz2soK_ROizw7tEZEzSka5aS4KkPu_00ort3z8/s320/oldtonew.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
When I got home, I unpicked it all, found an old a-line skirt (to use for the shape) and an old yoga band from another old unworn skirt...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOM7an6fv4bdqomcbjtI3qzvt4Di4XsEA0Em-ygoQwa8LeBG1g4iJdWYnuv9sJtC6UW6BrMy-m6rURfs5X-S0ftY5GsxysILLlnfmDSqiZLqG7ULDwZTa1jq3Ku17D0U6w9iLioEIEys8/s1600/a-line.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOM7an6fv4bdqomcbjtI3qzvt4Di4XsEA0Em-ygoQwa8LeBG1g4iJdWYnuv9sJtC6UW6BrMy-m6rURfs5X-S0ftY5GsxysILLlnfmDSqiZLqG7ULDwZTa1jq3Ku17D0U6w9iLioEIEys8/s320/a-line.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
And created a new skirt - which I love :) so glad I spent the time trying to fix this disaster rather than just chucking it in the bin :)<br />
<br />
Have you ever created someting you thought would be wonderful and it turned out to be truly awful?!<br />
Did you fix it or put it in the bin?<br />

<br />
A LONG time ago (in Jan/Feb 2015) I tested Mrs H's latest pattern...<a href="http://www.craftsy.com/pattern/sewing/accessory/the-reversible-hobo-bag-sewing-pattern-/160994">her Hobo Bag</a>. I have had to keep it a secret for soooooo long! Do you know how hard that was? It was so hard, as I just wanted to shout it from the roof how wonderful this bag really is!<br />

I made my version with scraps from my "pink" box, and I paired them with a 1/2m Japanese linen that I purchased in a closing down sale, and another 1/2m of a cotton poplin butterfly print I purchased AGES ago at spotlight. I didn't have quite enough of the butterfly print or the linen for the underside of the shoulder strap (as you can see in the photo above), so I used a scrap from my "blue" box that seemed to be the closest, I could find in there, to the linen.</div>

As the closure hangs quite low on the bag, and you cant really see it in the other photos I have shared, I thought I would share this photo so you can see it more clearly. I really like the look of it too :)</div>

Inside there are both zip and slip pockets. I have made mine with more scraps from my "pink" scrap box.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This bag is a REALLY good project for using up those scraps and small cuts of fabric if you want too. But the bag doesn't need to be made with patchwork bits....and you can make it reversible if you want too! This pattern in so versatile - and I highly recommend it :)</div>

<br />
As most of you will know...the 1st meal I cooked in my new slow cooker was a true <a href="http://blog.formylittlemonster.com/2015/08/i-got-slow-cooker.html">DISASTER</a>...but didn't let that stop me and made <a href="http://blog.formylittlemonster.com/2015/08/my-continued-adventures-with-slowcooker.html">Spaghetti and Meatballs</a> and Crockpot Chicken Taco which have both been loved by the whole family! So, onto todays adventures :)<br />
<br />
I made <a href="http://www.cookingforbusymums.com/slow-cooker-mild-beef-curry/">Beef curry</a><br />
The boys all loved it, however I was not a huge fan...<br />

<br />
<u>So here is what I thought about this meal:</u><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><br /></span><span style="color: blue;"><b>Will I cook it again?</b></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><br /></span><span style="color: blue;">Yes, as the kids liked it so that makes it a winner :)</span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><br /></span><span style="color: blue;"><b>Did the kids eat it?</b></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue;">Yes</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;"><b>What do I score it?</b></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><br /></span><span style="color: blue;">I scored this one 4 yummies out of 5 :)</span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><br /></span><span style="color: blue;"><b>Did I add or subtract anything from the recipe?</b></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><br />I used Coconut Cream insead of Coconut Milk and I added a whole jar of the curry paste. I did this as I had more Coconut Cream than the recepie called for.</span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><br /></span><span style="color: blue;"><b>Would I add or subtract anything from the recipe next time?</b></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><br />I would probably add less of the curry paste mix ;P</span><br />
<br />
