sew what's new?

Did a bit of sewing on a couple of purses! Something new to my repertoire , and I have been enjoying practicing. Sometimes I do make mistakes and a seam ripper is involved. My daughter liked the purse that I made her daughter and asked if I would make her one. This was her daughter's.... So I have her's finished....  but   it is black and white checks. I forgot to take pics but didn't forget when I did the second one from the same material... this one is a little larger and pattern is called "Redwood Tote" by Noodlehead. It has a re-inforced bottom.  Hope you enjoy a safe and happy new year! Martha

I just came out of my sewing room finishing my last two projects! Off to the post office after this post. I finished a few more coin purses.... Then I finished what the pattern called "A Lunch Tote".... Made from a few musical themed fabrics Finished a small triangle hand purse.... Then a little larger tote.... with elephants ,zebras, and giraffes and crocodiles! My last project was two casserole carriers. I made my Friday deadlines, so I am pleased. All for now, Martha.

I sent my daughter one of the quilts that I have finished. I also sent a package to my grand daughter with the first purse I've ever made!  The pattern was Lexi Carryall by Laz y Girl Designs. I highly recommend it for first timers or beginning bag makers! I will be doing this pattern again! All for now, I'll check  back later, Martha.

In the blink of an eye , Christmas will be here! So I  have shut myself off in my sewing room. Having 12 inches of snow dumped on your driveway doesn't hurt either.  I have made three change purses.... Two bowl warmers for the microwave.... Three  holiday aprons....     Six   matching pot holders or trivets I am also making a couple of teal Christmas ones .... First the square layers  all put together. Then sewn in diagonal lines down the layers.... Then trimmed in a circle and bias binding added! I do hand sew down the binding to the backing. Three Diva Wallets.... A Santa sack for the coal bucket near my front door, It actually sits outside. I left the stuffing in the plastic bag so it wouldn't get wet.
