Happy Bunny!
Well who’s a happy bunny now then? After a lot of digging and a bit of #@$$r*!!!! I finally wended my way through the intricacies of linking my Pinterest account to my Etsy account and my website. It wasn’t difficult – once I actually FOUND the instructions!!

This short course suits an adventurous beginner or intermediate level learner. You need to be able to do 3 basic stitches, chain, double crochet and treble.

ETSY SHOP UPDATE http://elliefiddes.etsy.com
I have just added four new masks to my shop.
These are vibrant coloured batik fabrics I picked up in Africa. The style is inverted box pleat, a two layer mask with a filter pocket built in. These sell at £5.00.
The pleats on the mask open when worn to show more of the pattern. Below are some examples. Â

Face coverings in my new Etsy shop
I have opened a new Etsy shop, and have listed some face coverings/masks there. Â
I have made them from vintage fabrics and from vibrant coloured fabrics. Â
This vintage one was made from Greeff “Bird of Paradise” I hope you like it 🙂

WORDPRESS FACEBOOK INSTAGRAM

I was hoping in this all singing, all dancing, linked up world that I would somehow be able to link up my WordPress blog with my Instagram account, but unfortunately not to be 😦 At least not as yet.
So for the meantime you can find my latest pictures on instagramÂ
