I made this doorstop following a pattern in Lotta Jansdotter's book "Simple Sewing". I didn't print the fabric, it's an African fabric I bought in Dalston Market.
I like Lotta Jansdotter's work and have 3 books of craft projects by her. She makes printed textiles, and you can see a good demo of handmade printing, "Stencils and Yams", by her with Etsy on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pnu0AsoPJb0
I like the simplicity of Lotta Jansdotter's prints and her sewing projects are also easy to follow. It didn't take long to make this doorstop, which is just what I needed in our new house, and is made up like a saggy box - 4 sides, a bottom and a top with a handle, all stitched together, and I filled it with rice for the weight.
You can see Lotta's work on her website, and she also has a blog which you can go to from the link on her website: http://www.jansdotter.com/
