I spent Sunday working around the house, finishing up homework and doing some crafty stuff. First up I finished this pincushion from Elegant Stitch. I’m sorry but I just looked and it is sold out. I could not get the finishing right with the piped edge. I was so unhappy with how it turned out that I came home last night and ripped it out and put on a twisted cord edge. I think it looks a lot better. Sorry for the crooked shot.
Then I started working on a cute bag with some Heather Bailey fabric from my stash. I used this tutorial. It is a little crooked but I like how it turned out. I’m going to make another using a different technique to see if I can’t get it straighter.
Several months ago I was visiting a fabric shop and they had a cute sample of an apron on display. It is a 15 inch square on point. Very simple and a cute idea. I made a small one for my niece and a little larger one for my nephew.
And finally, I had to leave you with two funny shots of one of our cats, Sammy. The first made me think he was in trouble, giving himself a timeout. The second shows you how big he is. I came back to my sewing area to find him sitting on my sewing machine table.
