Fabric Coasters


I whipped these up last night. The front is in a toille fabric and the back is in a red & white gingham.


I sewed the four corners of the toille fabric (measured 4 inches with an additional 1/4 of an inch to fold under, i guess that is called "seam allowance"?) and used the double sided iron on adhesive stuff to adhere the gingham. It also makes the coasters pretty sturdy.


Everyone I know is gettin a set of these for Christmas!

Old Skool Nintendo Controller Pouch for yer Purse







Finally, after inhaling enough E-6000 to forget who I am and what planet I'm from, I completed my NES Controller project. I tried to make a tutorial, however, ummm..... this was a major trial & error project.


I'm not going to sit here & call out the flaws in this project, as I'm sure you can see them for your self, and if you can't, that is ok with me! : D

Tuesday Night Plushy



Here is my new bird I made tonight from my hubby's old sweater and my grandmother-in-law's vintage fabric.

I used fusible interfacing on both sides of the sweater material which made it easy to handle.

I am still not quite sure how to stitch the stuffing hole shut in a neat manner, but I unravled some of hubby's sweater and used it as thread to close the hole.

First Crazy Quilt



Here is my first mini crazy quilt I made a last year. I printed on regular ecru fabric I had in the scrap bin. I am not too proud of it, but I haven't made any new crafty things to post recently.
This is my first attempt at the stitches involved in making crazy quilts. This is definatly super busy. I learned a lot from working on this. This is why I keep my mistakes.
