Armchair Helpers


First of the New Year goodies
(though actually I made them late last year)

These are my take on a very old idea.
As the title says, they are
Armchair Helpers
Made to fit over the arm of
a comfy chair or sofa
to keep your bits and pieces
tidy and close to hand.
I've had one for years but it's very small,
so I re-designed it and came up with these.
They are quite roomy, each pocket being
6.5" across & 4.5" deep on the inside,


and, of course, there are 2 !


The middle pin cushion measures
approx. 4.5" x 3"


and the total length is around 20"


Both have a dusky pink back,
and an olive green liner.
The pockets and pin cushions
are a lovely deep brown
with vibrant shades of
green and pink,
and splash of white
and a touch of grey.


The whole edge including the pockets
is trimmed with pink and white
gingham bias binding
so there are no raw edges showing at all.
The patterned fabric does have
slight anomilies, but I don't think
they detract from the overall look.

The total price, including P&P is £5.50
Please quote Pink & White
or Vivid Green when ordering.
There are just one of each.

Patchwork Stars


I'm so pleased with these stars,
I saw something similar elsewhere
and just has to work out a 6 point version.
They are the patchwork on both sides,
so will hang anywhere.
And, of course, they have to be smelly!!!

I've done 3 versions


The Gold, Frankinsense and Myrrh
are a mix of satin and taffetta, in pink,
off-white, and gold.


And they are fragranced with Frankinsense and Myrrh oils.


The bright, mixed Christmas fabric
have each point in a different fabric,
(which might be slightly different to the photograph)
and are fragranced with a mixture
of Christmassy smells.


The Gingerbread Stars
are made from a mix of gingery-creamy fabrics,
and are frangranced mainly with ginger oil.
These would look good all year round too.


The stars are quite large, approx. 6" from point to point.
All are the same on both sides, and have lovely
vintagey buttons each side of the centre,
and hang on matching ribbons.
They are 2 of each of the Bright and
gingerbread, and 1 Gold for sale.

The price is £5.50 each, inc.P&P
See sidebar for contact details,
please quote
GFM for the Gold, Frankinsense & Myrrh,
Bright for the bright Christmas fabric ones.
Ginger for the Gingerbread ones.
