First Sewing Projects!

I spent the whole day today in the house working on my first sewing projects.

The first  project was a patchwork door stop.  I didn't really have a pattern for this, although I looked at a few online patterns nothing really grabbed me so I used a bit of them all.

I started with the patchwork square and added a black border.  I then created the back panel and side borders and handle.  Leaving a small seam open at the back, I created a small insert which I can fill with gravel.  On top of this I will use toy stuffing so the overall weight isn't too much.
