A birthday gift for my Mum

Just before my trip to Australia it was my Mum's birthday. She knew about her main gift from me quite a while back - a plane ticket to come and visit me here in Bali, but I decided to make her a little something to send down. Of course I needed to wait for her to receive it before I could even tell you I had this little project on the go!

To compliment her 'plane ticket' gift, I decided to make her a passport/ticket holder. I used Anni Down's pattern from her book 'Some Kind of Wonderful'. Here is the finished product:

I altered it a little, changing the country names on the suitcase from Anni's original, and adding Mum's initials to the suitcase tag:

It's nice to see it in use too, with Mum currently here visiting (using her main gift!) with her friend Judy. But more on their visit later...

Until next time
