Flores Clutch by ithinksew

Well, I got one UFO mostly done. No straps, but those are a quick sew. 

I did a rather nasty job at top stitching. :/ those curves are killer. But this clutch pattern is one of my favorites. 

Okay, so ten minutes later, here it is with the strap. :)

Making Pattern Piece Labels

Tonight I made pattern piece labels. I decided to cut out a bunch of projects because I hate cutting and this will give me some ready to sew goodness. I also worked a bit on my love notes pieces. 

Here's my love notes quilt. 

Left to sew up before cutting:

Next two projects

I cut out the pieces for a Flores clutch (ithinksew) and picked out fabrics for another NCW. 

I sewed up the edges of a calendar tea towel and a matching tea towel for a friend's birthday. I didn't snap a pic before wrapping it up. I had bought a bunch of calendars for the holidays but was in no state to sew. :/ I finally got my sewjo back, so better late than never, eh? :)

I also worked a little bit on a love notes quilt. I have a TON of charms to sew together. Maybe later I'll snap a pic of that as well as the other things I'm working on. The love notes quilt consists of 4 charm packs of print being sewn to 4 solid white charm packs worth of fabric. I'll have 168 squares when I'm done. I'll then cut those squares into quarters. :/ This quilt will take quite some time to finish. I'm excited about it. I got the idea from Missouri Star Quilt Co. 

I guess that's all for now. I will add pictures later. :)

Exploding TARDIS Throw

I So I bought one of those no sew throws from Joann's. I laid it out and my handsome boxer boy decided it was for him. :)

Last night I was able to get it half way done before collapsing in bed. When I went to take a picture this morning, boxer boy decided I needed him in on the shot. Silly boy! Silly me for thinking I could get the shot before he finished his breakfast elsewhere. 

The throw was fun and easy. Definitely something a kid would enjoy. :) I don't plan on making any more, though. ;)

Blue Calla's Clematis

Earlier this week I started cutting some of my Mod Corsage fabric and mirror glitter vinyl from Mikri for a Clematis wristlet. 

I was able to sew it up yesterday. (Well, earlier today but it's one am)

It was pretty easy. But! I'm not crazy about the edges on the vinyl. Also I used a purse zipper. The tape was wider than normal and I should have used a wider seam allowance. Overall it was a fun and satisfying project. :) I plan to do a quick wallet next.
