Hello lovelies, remember when I talked about the amazing opportunity I had a few weeks back when I flew to Denver and recorded a sewing class with Craftsy ? Yeah, the class is now live and it all is super surreal, and exciting, and intimidating all at the same time, eeeeek !!! My class Giftable Projects: Zippered Bags and Purse Organizer is a six lesson class with detailed instructions and lots of tips on how to make three different zipper pouches. Would you like to see the pouches I designed for the class? Here we go. Easy Coin Pouch with removable wrist strap is the first (and easiest project). I love this sweet little pouch and have made quite a few of them for my daughters and their friends already. The second pouch I teach is Double Zip pouch which makes a perfect pencil pouch or make up bag. I'm also thinking it would make a great hand sewing supplies pouch. Oh, the possibilities :) Last, but definitely not least, is this Keep it Ne...
Hello everyone!
Did you have a nice weekend? Our crazy Chicago weather didn't disappoint once again and in the span of 3 or 4 days we went from wearing winter coats to wearing shorts and t-shirts. Totally insane, but so greatly appreciated as we were all eager to soak up as much of that glorious sunshine as we could. I just hope we won't be back to coats in a few days. Fingers crossed :).
So, of course there was not much sewing happening here, but I did manage to finish this simple little patchwork mat. It was inspired by this beautiful mat I came across a while back.
I started off by cutting my fabric into 2.5" squares. Isn't that top Liberty print the sweetest? I had just a small piece left over from making Liberty Coin quilt , I think it makes this mat extra special :).
And, I used sashiko thread to add a bit of hand quilting. I must say, I'm in love. This was my first time using sashiko thread and I just adore its "chunky", natural look. I think I like it even better than Perle cotton I usually use.
I loved making this mat. It was a perfect almost instant gratification project.
Here's to a week full of lovely sunshine and beautiful fabric. Svetlana
