| Isn't she a beauty! |
Well it took me a while to open the box and get her out. I was a little anxious to make my first experience of using it a good one, and I was finishing off decorating my bathroom.

Even if I do say so myself; I think I did a fantastic job of it!

| What a difference it makes |
Well my bathroom needed some storage for my spare toilet rolls. As any more cabinets were out of the question (there is just not enough room to squeeze another in) I was looking for other options.
I took inspiration from three places. I loved the simple instructions provided by Makeit-loveit but I wasnt sure about hanging it over my toilet roll holder.
ET speaks from home offered a better hanging option for me as I was planning on adding a hook to the wall for this. The material she used also made me reach for a canvas print I picked up on one of mine and mums annual trip to the knitting and stitching show in Harrogate.
EasyToSew was an easy to follow tutorial and I just loved the tab top. I thought this was the perfect solution to my hanging dilema. Especially as I had decided to use the plastic hangers from when I bought my bathmats instead of throwing them away.
Here is the finished item. I forgot to topstich but overall for my first dive into sewing with my new machine I think it went brilliantly, and it goes lovely in my bathroom.
