Another one!

A second Jenny Wrapping Pouch.

Oh and I got the cord stoppers. I got un-lazy and stuffed the Grinch one. :)

Grinch bag!!

I just quickly made this bag for my husband. He absolutely loves the Grinch. It's what I was working on when my machine took a poop last night. 

It's from a pattern by ithinksew.com. The pattern is called the Jenny Wrapping Pouch. Seriously easy to make. I think the PDF pattern is on sale for only $2 until the 20th of December. Then it goes up to $4. Whether it's $2 or $4, it's a great deal. I'm not here to promote companies, but I love ithinksew's patterns. Every single one I've tried has come out well and the directions (and pictures) are easy to follow. 

Here's the pouch I made. I should have stuffed it before I took the picture but I didn't feel like it. ;)
 

Sadness.

There's something wrong with my machine. I did what I could, rethreaded it (several times), new needle, new bobbin, but none of it helped. It felt like it was out of sync. All I was sewing was a couple of pieces of quilting weight cotton for a bag. Each time I rethreaded, it would sew fine for a few stitches before messing up again. :/

Thankfully I completed the embroidery projects that I needed before all of this happened. 

I set up my new machine and I'll be taking the Creative Vision in to be worked on.

One more thing...

Embroidered one more gift today. My husband and I bought two towels from a dollar store and I monogrammed them for my mother in law. We're pretty happy with how they turned out. :)


Niece's Blanket!

I embroidered the blanket for my niece today. I think it came out nicely. :)




This one really stitched out well. I'm very pleased!  I embroidered her name just below it. :)
