Literally, just in time, we're going to a friend's birthday dinner tonight and I've just finished her present. I first made one out of a brocade fabric, using this tutorial but I wasn't paying that much attention (story of my life) and I put one piece of fabric down wrong side up inside of right side up - so thought 'sod it', I'll make it with the silver side out' but that's the woven side and it's fraying a lot - especially where I nicked the fabric with the iron I dropped last night, whoopsie. So I decided to keep that one and make another one as the gift. Fabric from Hable Construction's relocation sale when they were closing their original store, and black ribbon reclaimed from a Jo Malone carrier bag! The corner of the zip is a bit wonky as I should have cut the fabric a bit smaller, but I'm happy with it. Top one is for the birthday girl, wonky silvery brocade one for me.
I really like those fabrics, the brocade is especially nice.
