It's a Colourful Spring!

It's that time of year again where Summer is just around the corner, but with all those April showers the days just seem to be dulled down. The pink skies in the evenings and those bright sunny mornings are taken over by midday showers and grey clouds. You've got so many exciting plans for the summer and cannot wait to get your hands on the latest summer trends for your holiday. But the long days of waiting are sucking that energy out of you. Yes I pretty much feel like that at some point during the Spring months, and I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one.

So I wanted to brighten up those dull Spring days with a few colourful accessories. And so I thought about making more of my makeup bags in lots of lush colours. Of course the colours I've used go perfectly with my silk scarves as I wanted all of them to match. I've put these new bags up on Etsy, which you can find here. I also feel like these would be the perfect gift for bridesmaids or as travel accessories for your summer getaway! and They are now available in a rainbow full of colours! You can also find them on Depop if any of you girlies use the app, just search 'sukisaburdesigns'. xo

Sew Much Crafting

So you may have seen my new listings on Etsy/my latest Instagram posts/Updates on Twitter or maybe read my previous blog posts. A while back I started making these cute makeup bags (they can be used as a clutch bag, coin purse, storing your phone etc) as my plan was to make them with my own printed fabric. It turned out that the plain ones actually looked really pretty and so many people told me they loved them. So I decided to make a few more in different colours, and I've since been keeping busy by making a batch of them for a craft fair I have coming up next week.

They are now available in two sizes, the small ones come in three different colours of satin, and the bigger ones are available with three different velvet fabrics. I chose a collection of colours that I felt would go with my new 'Underwater Escapade' collection of silk scarves and pocket squares. If you have read the stories on my website sukisabur.co.uk then you'll hopefully get the mood I've tried to create. And if you haven't paid a visit then by sure to check it out here!

So I wanted to keep a brief photo diary of these bags whilst I've been busy making them and I decided to add this as a post for anyone who wants a sneak peek of the materials I use/how they're made/what I've been doing since I've been pretty quiet on social media recently. And if you're looking to make these yourself I'm sure you can find some great tutorials on Pinterest or YouTube. xo
