In a bind

There are times when I'm in a lull and don't know what to sew. Not from lack of ideas but actually from being overwhelmed by so many of them. I look at a piece of fabric and decide, yup, I want to make something but when I cut it, I remember something else and wonder if the piece will fit. So, in these times of indecision, I switch to safer stuff.

Today, I made bias strips from oatmeal linen. This is a go-with-anything bias so it's OK that I made about 5m of it. Maybe I'll go fold paper now. I have so much paper that have yet to be made into books, LOL!

Have a blessed day!

Bee very happy :-)

DD's newest pouch and it's not green, LOL!

She asked for a pouch that's the size of the dinner plate. We just had dinner then so DS glady obliged and washed and dried one plate for me so I could use it as a template. 

Bee-themed jelly roll strips and fully lined and bound with linen.

These pouches are a fair bit of work but I like the results. :-)

Have a blessed day!

Flurry....

Made two pairs of baby shoes from patterns available on the internet. I've lost the links but I'll add them to this post when I find them again. I like the Mary Janes above and I think I'll add ribbons next time so that they can be reversible too, like the ones below.

This is another of the twin body but the middle pocket has a zip this time. Bright red cover flap was quilted and attached with metal spring snaps.

Of the 4 items in this post, this took the longest time. I think I've made something like this before but I can't remember. It took a longer time 'cos of the quilting and the hand-sewing. I made the bias strip for binding myself so that took up some time too. I think this is the last Teacher's Day pressie but I'm not sure.

Have a blessed evening!
