Welcome to another Handmade Monday, our creative link up. It’s time to be inspired by some lovely creative ideas so grab a cuppa and enjoy a scroll through.

I did a little sewing for me this week and made myself a dress from this pretty deadstock rayon challis from Minerva.com. The pattern is a free peasant blouse pattern, the Clara blouse from Fabrics Store just made a little longer and with added pockets. There are more details over on my Instagram. It feels so lovely and swooshy to wear.

Let’s just check out the features from last week’s Handmade Monday.

• Remember if you want to pin any of these ideas please make sure you click through via the photo to the original project.

Fresh Vintage by Lisa S shows us how to make this lovely notebook with a twig binding. What a wonderful summer holiday project for the kids.

Gail from Purple Hues and Me has taken a humble placemat and turned it into a beautiful floral cone.

These beautiful seed bead earrings don’t look too difficult to make at all, there is a very clear tutorial from Macaw Crafts.

Congratulations to you all. There is a "YAY I was featured" button over here if you want to add one to your blog.

A like on social media, a comment or share is an easy way for us all to help to support one another so please do take a moment to visit some of the other projects linked up this week. It’s not mandatory to be able to join in here, there’s no easy way to check if you did but it costs nothing but a few minutes of your time and is just a nice thing to do!

The rules for Handmade Monday are very simple:

• Did you make it? Yes - then yay! We'd love to see it

• Add the link to a specific post, not your main blog url

• You can link up to 3 posts each week but try to make sure it's not something that you've shared here before

• Mingle - visit some other links - comment - share - be social

HANDMADE MONDAY IS NOT A PLACE FOR SELLING SO NO LINKS TO ETSY OR OTHER SELLING PAGES, THEY WILL ALWAYS BE REMOVED. THANKS

If you are not sure of anything more details can be found here.

At Handmade Monday the links are shown in a random order so it’ll look different each time you pop by.
