30 Minute pouch from Craftsy.

My mom went to New York last year on an awesome sewing trip. She brought me back some goodies including leather pieces. I hadn't done anything with them yet. When I came across this pattern on Craftsy, I decided to try it and make something for my wonderful mother! :)

I love the way it hangs!

Rawly Wallet from Clobird Designs

I've been wanting to try out Kraft-Tex for a while now. I bought two rolls a while back. I cut and made a Rawly wallet today. Such a quick and satisfying project. Using Kraft Tex, it takes more time to cut out the pattern than to construct it. 

My husband claimed this one. I can't wait to draw some pretty designs on the white KT and sew one up for myself. So so fun and easy! :) I highly recommend this pattern. 

Necessary Clutch Wallet aka NCW

I work on the hexies when I'm watching tv. 

When I have time in my sewing room, I'll do another project. Last night I cut the pieces for an NCW. I was debating between that and Swoon's Ethel. The NCW will coordinate with the London City bag I last posted about. 

Let's see if I remember correctly. The flap will be Ex-Libris inside and out. The zipper pouch outside will also be Ex-Libris. The body and zipper lining will be purple and the card slots will be the blue. 

Here it is done. It took the better part of a very distracted day to sew up. Had I focused on making the wallet without stopping to do things like play with the dog and wash a few windows, it wouldn't have taken quite that long. :)

I love this little clutch. I'm thinking that it'll make a great little wristlet as well. This was my first ever wallet and first ever twist lock. The twist lock wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would have been. I cut the hole for the lock small and kept enlarging it until I got the right size. :)

Color Theory Hexie Flower Quilt.

In the last post, I posted this pic of my first completed flower from the Color Theory mini charm pack. 

Last night I completed the second one. 

As I said earlier in the blog, I'll just add any new work on this quilt to this page. I love making Hexie flowers!!!

It's been almost a year.

I haven't had much motivation to sew in quite some time, but this past weekend I decided to sew up a bag I started in a class in December. It uses Pink Sand Beach Designs' London City pattern. I used Alison Glass's ExLibris fabric. Love that line of fabric!!!

I'm also working on a mini charm pack (well 6 mini charm packs) set of Hexie flowers. It's Moda's Color Theory line. I'm going to appliqué them onto a white background to make a quilt. Here's the first one. 

There are a few other patterns I'd like to try. If I wasn't out sick from work recently, I would have taken tomorrow off to take a bag class, but I can't afford to take more time off. Maybe I'll make the bag or a wallet this weekend. That's all for now! :)
