Not my first choice for a backing, as I was hoping for Red Sox and something with blue in it, but this was the best I could do. |
And, I almost forgot. I bought this kit for a color wheel pin cushion a few years ago and decided I needed to get it done. The top hole is a little large, and the button kind of slides into it, so I'm going to get a larger one and glue it on. Hurray for E6000. I'll be sharing with ShowOffSaturday on SewCanShe's blog. |
Not too much to show this week, this was my only finish. It's my larger version of SewCanShe's cell phone wallet with benefits. Due to my larger phone, iphone 7 plus, I had to increase the measurements on the wallet, I kind of overdid it, but I didn't mind. Also, I'll be sharing again on her Show Off Saturday. |
The reason I didn't mind it ending up a little over big, is it gives me room for my reading glasses, which I need to read my cell phone. |
The frontal view. |
The larger size also allowed me to carry 4 cards, vertically, not horizontally. I based mine on 8 x 6 1/2 instead of the original size. |
A few years ago I made this quilt, which I loved, but I gave it to some friend's who visited intending to replace it for myself. |
This week, I dug it out and worked on it some more. I had about 120 done, and now I have 200. It will take about 380, which will turn into 95 blocks when the segments are sewn 4 together into blocks. This quilt is from a tutorial on MaDan's Quilting. She calls it 5" charm scrappy, I call it scrappy lattice. |
My first time doing pictures from the freezer paper in the printer. Not as vibrant as I would have hoped, but not too bad. I hope they wash ok, I guess time will tell. |
The Marvel super heroes for the back. |
More things for the great grands. Pillows for the little ones and pouches for the bigger ones. |
I don't always sleep well, and since my husband got up to watch his Red Sox, I decided to make a pouch for my daughter-in-law in Mexico, about 2:00am last night. I ordered her a yellow kindle fire and thought it'd be nice to have a pouch to protect it and carry it in. I measured my kindle and added about 1.5 to 2 inches extra. I used the foam interfacing, When I finished I took my kindle out of it's case and tried to put it in the yellow pouch. Oops, too small. I decided I'd make another and added about another 2 inches to be sure, too big. I added a couple of snaps to keep the fire down and since I was out of the foam used 2 layers of cotton batting. Then, I realized that I had ordered her kindle fire an inch smaller than mine, so the small one might fit after all. Have to wait until Sunday when it's delivered to find out . I finished the two pouches about 6am. Of course, going to share this with Sewcanshe's Show off Saturday. |
Back to journal notebook covers, these are going to Mexico. This is for my daughter-in-law. |
The computer or blogger are going a bit crazy, so this is the inside - upside down. I can't find the right side up picture. |
My granddaughters, right side up. |
My granddaughters, upside down. |
I made them a couple of pouches, very squishy as I used fleece instead of batting. |
The zippers came, so i finished my daughter-in-law's big bag. |
my daughter-in-law's bag from the top. |
A shot of their 'stuff', I also made pencil rolls, eyeglass cases, and a card wallet for my daughter-in-law. My granddaughter will get a couple of my bone china cup and saucers. |
Dollar store hand towels that I fancied up a little. I got them mostly to use as packing protection for the cups and saucers. |
The other side of the crayon tote. |
I also made her a tote bag to go back and forth to day care. It has a zipper top, and lots of pockets, like the ones I make as handbags for adults do. |
Both the same size, I started out with 12 1/2 by 12 1/2 inch squares. |
I also made some little, just because, pouches for 4 other great grandchildren. I plan on putting some little treats in them. Tomorrow is Show off Saturday day on SewCanShe's blog, I'll be sharing again. |
We didn't get our dog until she was 4 years old, but my niece found a picture and shared it. Isn't she the cutest little thing ever. |
Completely adorable. |
My non-sewing friend with the 4 tubs of fabric came to pick up the gifts I had made her, and brought some of the fabric. Here it is, washed, folded, and in some cases ironed. |
I like the lining. |
These are also going to Mexico. 3 each isn't excessive is it? |
I'm making them notebook covers, this is my granddaughters cut and prepped. |
And my daughter-in-law's bag cut out and mostly prepped. I could finish my granddaughter's, because I had the zipper, but I have to wait for an order from ZipperIsland for this one. |
Lastly, my daughter-in-law's notebook cover cut out and prepped. I have a couple other things to make, pencil rolls, pouches. And now to share over at SewCanShe's Show Off Saturday. |
