I admit: on Friday evening at 8PM, after an exhausting day, the thought that I still have to sew two pouches was overwhelming! But once I started, the whole process was fun, quick and easy. The hardest thing that took me forever was to choose the fabric! I made these pouches for the kids of my future neighbors (hint, hint: we hope to move in our new house by the end of summer!). For a … [Read more...]

Triple Pouch – opinions, please!
I love sewing pouches. I made many Little Wonders, Twice as Nice or sweet lace pouches. And now without too much thinking, I made a triple pouch. A very functional pouch, very spacious, all those three compartments have boxed bottom. But I have a problem with it: it looks like a big, UGLY box! My hubby thinks it is because of the solid fabric - faux suede. Maybe... Maybe I could make it … [Read more...]
New Raw Edge Applique Design – quilt and pillows
I know, too many pictures, but I can't help myself!I finished this larger design as wall hanging and I chose to hang it vertically. The two smaller pieces became pillows. I love to quilt with the walking foot... ... but only on small pieces! And not on too many pieces! So on the second pillow I free motion quilted feathers. I loved to do it, too bad it was a small area! Everything was … [Read more...]

Oilcloth Shopping Bag
I was so anxious to sew with oilcloth! After so many faux leather bags, it was nice to try something new. I chose a simple pattern (my new shopping bag) and it was the best choice. So how is this oilcloth? Stiff! You wouldn't say this when you touch it, but when I had to turn the bag from one side to the other, I struggled a little! I stitched with the walking foot; the oilcloth … [Read more...]
Fun accessory for my sewing machine
Do you have this accessory for your sewing machine? Do you use it? It allows you to stitch at the desired distance from a previous stitching. It's great for echo quilting. I have a Pfaff machine and this is called edge/quilting guide. It's very easy to attach it to the machine. And stitching lines spaced at 1'' (or even more) saves you time! And if you want to add some free motion … [Read more...]
