Sweet Notes From the Strawberry Patch

My obsession with strawberries is still here and it seems like it's going to stay for a little while. I am myself surprised how much such a simple print can inspire one person. I made picked a few more tiny strawberries in my sewing strawberry patch and this is what I turned them into. Sweet little gift tags.

Do you remember the two bags full of scraps I bought recently? There was a long strip of raw heavy weight linen in one of them. Very useful indeed. Simply perfect for tag making. Raw edge sewing, a bit of rustic lace and plenty of strawberries. That's the recipe for these tags.

A lovely set of four would make a beautiful addition to any gift. But to be honest with you, I like them just like that, hanging on my inspiration board or on a lid of a large glass jar.

Have I mentioned that the strawberry obsession is here to stay? Here is one more bento bag I made with the same fabric. This time combined with Shell Pink and polka dot ribbon. The shape of the tabs is different too.

I need a new supply of these bags because they are great for everyday use or as a simple small present for friends when we meet for coffee next time. What you can store in them apart from lunches and snacks? Well, how about some soft toys for your little one? Or cookie cutters in the kitchen? Or maybe even extra pegs you've got on your washing line.

I am sorry if I bored you with my strawberry creations. I promise, I am working on this obsession of mine to go away and distracting myself with some other sewing projects, and I've almost succeeded. But still one more strawberry piece of work is left unfinished, something new and very summery is being made grown in my sewing strawberry patch and after that I am going to put this lovely fabric away. Until next time. Until I find something new to get obsessed with. Happy obsessions everybody! Larisa xo
