As yet un-named, this baby elephant is made in two hoopings. I'll put the design in DBC later when I've sorted the instructions.

A case for a set of crochet hooks, made in the hoop. I couldn't resist the fabric! The elastic is under slight tension so it holds the hooks firmly, but it does distort the shape a little.

I've climbed on the hanging towel bandwagon! I've got a thing about symmetry so I put this hanger on the side of the towel. It was made in the hoop (including attching the velcro.) It does look better than my usual method (see second picture!)

ITH patchwork purse - you may need to zoom in to see the zip between the top two stripes.

Yet another ITH zipped purse.

Yet another purse. Made ITH, fully lined with no raw edges. I'm quite chuffed with this one.

Zip mania continues! This design, in 3 sizes, will be available from My Garden Embroidery Design very soon. Please may I stop now?

Baby dress made with guess work and imagination. It measures just over 20" or 50 cm around the chest. Can someone tell me what age it might fit? The bodice is made ITH and the row of baby animals is from Urban. The shoulders fasten with Kam Snaps.

Purse with a zip in the top, no visible stitching or raw edges made ITH with just a tiny bit of straight hand sewing to finish off. I think I'm just about there! (Middle picture is the inside,)
