Matryoshka Swap Lovelies Made by me.

My partner for the Martyoshka swap on Craftster recieved her package so I can post pics of what I made for her.
First up a felt door hanger with applique on front. I used this tutorial. And it was my first time sewing ricrac onto something and I have to tell you, it was so much easier than I thought it would be. I am really happy with how it turned out.


Next up earrings. The pic is a bit dark. They are really bright purple. I think I need to make myself some.


Necklace with Matryoshka bead. I also sent her two of the same bead but in red.


And the apron. It turned out so well. I am so happy with this and think that this might just be my Christmas present to all my chickies this year.

And a close up.

As always I stressed and stressed and stressed but in the end was happy with what I made.  I always seem to do that... I worry if I've done enough, or is it to my partner's taste, etc. But thankfully she loved everything.
