Fusion

These are twin totes made from Northcott laminate. I like laminates 'cos of it's waterproof feature but they're not easy to handle. I can't pin 'cos there'll be holes and this fabric doesn't feed well into the sewing machine. It's rather stiff as a fabric and turning it inside out is a challenge. I still like laminates though.

Have a blessed day!

Lay the table

Nope, this is not table cloth nor a changing mat and the right side up is actually the microfibre. The bright and pretty waterproof side is face down on the table. Why?

Sometimes I bring stuff out to craft, especially to the pool during DD's lesson. While the table is generally clean, I don't want to risk anything that might jeopardise this. Small items like beads won't roll off the table either. Two birds, one stone.

Have a blessed day!

Gone swimming

DD started swimming few months back but it was only today that I thought to make a waterproof bag for her  to carry all her barang barang.
She has 2 boards, one for arms, one for feet, she says. Wet bag for her swimsuit (can't remember if I posted an entry on this), drawstring bag for change of clothes (nor this?) and .... aha! A plastic bag for her slippers. Hmmm, maybe I should make a waterproof shoe bag for her too? Alas, there isn't enough material for that 'cos this tote took up almost 1 yard of fabric. You can't tell from the pic but the handles are 4-ply so there's more fabric than meets the eye. I added a panel of pockets and reinforced the handles.
Have a blessed weekend!

Hey baby!

I must be getting old. It seems that the people I know are having grandchildren. LOL!
I used to be sewing gifts for friends' kids and have recently progressed to sewing for grandkids.

Made these 2 pouches, whether for diapers or clothes or any of the barang barang that is needed when baby travels. Resin snaps on the flap closure and zip for the wet bag behind.
Have a blessed day!

On dry ground

Finally made a wet bag though I had the materials since last year. Exterior is a soft cotton and interior is 100% polyester which is waterproof. Not interfaced.
Do you think the waterproof layer should be inside or on the outside or on both sides?
Have a blessed day!
