Cloud Trees

Life has been flying past - counting down the days till we move into our new home, and my new craft room.

A dog de-sexing, a weekend in Sydney, a weekend in Melbourne, getting my ovaries ready for making babies.....there has a lot going on but I did find time to make something finally this weekend!

I present the Cloud Tree Clutch.

I designed the repetitive tree pattern, then cut them out of vinyl and burnt a screen for my Yudu.

Design Laid Out on the Yudu Ready for Exposure

This is the screen just after i have burnt it, before washing out the un-exposed emulsion. You can just see the light green areas.

The Burnt Screen

I screen printed some white cloud trees on grey cotton drill, i love the diagonal textured weave of drill fabric.



I then cut out my pieces, along with a screen printed logo on my pocket, and cut out my own pattern, just a rectangle with rounded off corners. I used a pair of old jeans for the lining, denim is good for lining because it creates some weight without having to use interfacing which i find a bit stiff sometimes.

The Inside Pocket

I am very happy with it and will put putting it in my overly neglected Made It Shop this week.

Things i am looking forward to in our new house...

• My Very own craft room when i can contain my mess (containment, is this just wishful thinking?)
• Having a happy sunfilled wall with a some funky hooks to hang bags on and take photos.
• My lush tropical garden view from my sewing machine.

Only 25 days to go!
