Busy restocking

Happy New Year!

After a really successful Christmas period, I am now busy making up more stock for the year ahead.

I have been sewing more of these cute fabric covered photo albums.

The albums hold 24 standard sized 6x4" photos, are nicely padded and are finished off with a matching ribbon to keep them closed.
