I know I have blogged before about Susie Watson Designs and how much I love her fabrics. So I was delighted when a lovely lady named Jenni from Susie Watson contacted me to ask if she sent me a bundle of matching different pieces of Susie Watson Designs fabric, then could I create a project and tutorial for readers to be able to make their own item – with particular emphasis on an idea for a Mother’s Day gift. Of course I said yes and so when a bundle of lovely goodies arrived, I put my current stitching to one side …..
Told the newfies they would have to be content with shorter (though in Daisy’s case definitely just as muddy!) walks for a couple of days ….
And set to work on my project. I decided to make a little Dorothy Bag, complete with appliqued and embroidered heart, that I felt would be a perfect gift that any mum would love to receive on THE BIG DAY …..
Perfect for cosmetics, toiletries or any precious little items your mum might like to keep safe. If you’d like to make your own Dorothy Bag then please just CLICK HERE to download the free pattern.
Oh wow! that’s lovely. I haven’t got a mum anymore, but I think my daughter-in-laws will love one each. So that’s three to make!

thank you for the pattern. i love to receive your e-mail. i buy your mags from amazon as i love paper mags.
Hi Helen,
I love the photo of the adorable Miss Daisy- our two black, long-coated (!) Alsatian girls are just the same; they love mud and water out on a walk but not the water you want to clean them up with!
Thank you for the free Dorothy Bag pattern – it looks fabulous and achievable so I might just find the time to do it.
Love,
Diana.

Thank you – the Dorothy Bag is a lovely sweet pattern.
My Mom’s name was Dorothy, and although she’s no longer with us, I will be making this bag in her honor. She taught me to embroider over half a century ago,and I will use my bag to hold safe my current embroidery projects. Thank you for such a lovely Mother’s Day gift. It holds many memories for me already.
