...... I haven't kept to an item a month ....
.... I left out quite a few months .....
..... so I need to catch up .....
....these might be small but they were hand stitched ....
.... and they are pretty cute ....
(These tag patterns were a freebie a few years ago from Hugs from Helen
- just too cute and sewn with one strand of floss)

To finish off the tags I used a double sided iron on pellon and stitched around the borders then cut the edges with pinking shears and threaded ribbon through the top
I also finished off the binding for these little mug rugs - the design is by Allie
you can find the pattern HERE - there are 7 different designs and they are all ultra cute
