I got my 6th block finished for the Jelly Roll Sampler done. CUTE!
Another thing I tried was installing and sewing zippers. I tried once and my attempt didn't come out very well. So I never tried again. Until I saw Jen's cute little pouches. I needed to hunt down the pattern (my LQS had it - last one too!) and give it a try.
SUCCESS! I'm quite pleased in how it turned out. I have a bunch of fat quarters that I bought a few years ago when I started my sewing adventures and never used them. Now, when I look at them, I have no idea what drew me to them. So I put a few to good use and made a practice pouch. I love how I even had a button to match!
Why is this picture orientated wrong?? It's fine in my picture folder. Darn blogger!
I gave this one to Punkie. She saw it and immediately asked if it was for her. How could I say no. She has since filled it with her pennies. LOL.
I'm going to make these for Amelia's teachers as end of the year thank you gifts. I think I'm going to put a gift card to Target in each of them. Just have to sit with Amelia and pick out some fabrics to use.
But this has me thinking, I wonder how hard it would be to install zippers using tote patterns that don't have them? It can't be that hard, can it?
Enjoy your day!
