@Iminei yes, it was a charm from an advent calendar which just fit over the offending holes.  I had trouble getting it to stick onto the leather at first but Copydex manged it.

Here is a handbag I sewed. (Finished about 2 weeks ago) Made of quilting cotton, cotton canvas & nylon webbing for the strap.  There is one pocket out side & two inside, All snaps are Kam magnetic snaps.
I am entering this into the competition.

Ooh, I didn't know Kam did magnetic snaps.  I'll have to investigate as they could be very useful.
Where do you get yours from please @Sara-S

@Kitten I order directly from Kam. They are available on the US website, which does ship overseas. I am not sure where to order them in the UK.

Wild Atlantic Way’s 1st Entry

I designed and made this simple sun visor pouch for a friend. I wanted to make him something useful in return for doing me a favour a couple of weeks ago and as he’s a big burly farmer, man bags are definitely OUT.

Charley's entry.

A felt hat, 2 views, side and front. For a female or male.
I made this 2 weeks ago.

Edited to add this detail:
There is no pattern, other than around the head measurement, and how tall I want the hat to be. When I have these numbers there is a little math, and then draw a shape on some plastic, or my preference, on a piece of laminate underlay.
The hat is made with merino wool, water and soap, with the tail end of a scarf tassels felted into the tip, the tassels suffered a little, but look ok. It took 3 days in total, 1 day to make and shape, 2 days to be totally dry.
