Handmade By Helena Handmade By Helena This little business has been created through a passion for making beautiful gifts for family and friends. Please stay tuned :-)

It all started by making a kindy library bag for my daughter then realising what a lovely gift a personalised bag with a good book would make! Over the last year I've been sewing cushions, library bags, wash bags and more recently zipped cosmetic bags and kids aprons. I just love finding beautiful and unique fabrics to use for my projects and I'm very excited about what the future holds as I have a lot more ideas for beautiful gifts!

Will it's been a while since I posted anything, what a crazy few months it has been! I recently made these for my new little nephew, some cute little short sleeve suits and matching burp cloths.

I've been sewing a little bit less over the last few months since I've discovered crochet but sewing is back on the agenda :-)

The same lovely friend also needed a tablet cover. This one is lined with navy velvet to prevent any scratches, very luxurious 😉

A friend recently asked if I could make a cutlery roll which she could use for work lunches. It rolls up and ties neatly and the fold over keeps everything in place :-)

A bit more selfish sewing. This is my fourth top from a self drafted pattern. I don't own anything mustard but just loved this soft rayon from Spotlight. I always feel the need for a sleeve, even a tiny one, so this ruffle thing going on is just perfect. I must take some pics of the other three 📸

A little pressie for my Mum's birthday. Just got to find something to fill it with and post it!

I'll be making a few of these pouches up for our school Mother's Day Stall and a few more if anyone needs a quick gift idea :-)

My new labels arrived a few days ago so just had to make something pretty to show them off!

These bright and cheery cushions would make a great Easter egg alternative and have a padded and quilted front pocket to store a favourite bedtime book. These guys are $45.00 each which includes the cushion insert or $40.00 without. Let me know if you're keen 🐣🐰

Really loving the Fen Dress pattern by Fancy Tiger Crafts. Two more to take when we head overseas! I've had the Alexander Henry 'Frida' fabric for three years and been totally scared to cut into it 😲

I've been experimenting over the last few days with something new, PVC!! My daughter really wanted a PVC lined toiletry bag for school camp, which I got her but then thought I could give it a go myself! Still practicing but you can see the smaller pouch was my 2nd attempt hence the much tidier top stitching 😂 Just waiting for some new labels to arrive then I'll make some more up.
