All done

What a great little project to finish off our 2013 Stitch-A-Long.  

This has been so much fun to make the projects each month.  Thank you so much Chookyblue and Susan for keeping us organised, on track and inspired to finish the fun litttle projects.  I have enjoyed making every one of them.

August done - Yay !!!

This is such a cute little sewing case, and I am very happy with how it looks.  The lining fabric worked well too.

  

If I make another one I will do a few things differently - and I will also read the pattern fully without distractions but at least the things I misread still turned out well in the end.  

The best thing is there are still a few days to go before end of month - I did wonder if I would be a bit late this time with all the other things going on, but so pleased to have met the deadline. 

June pincushion

I did it -

No walnut shells though, I have used normal stuffing.

Love this bag

This was a good choice of project, lovely embroidery, good sized bag, measurements worked perfectly, and very enjoyable to make.

I chose 2 of the Life is Beautiful (Helen Stubbings) fabrics, and matched with other fabrics from my stash.  I also put the button on it for a closure.  I had meant to put the button on the front, but sewed the closure onto that side and had finished off the seam before I realised.  I could change it but.......  will wait and see.  And as I always do, I put pockets inside.

Thread catcher addiction

These gorgeous little thread catchers - they sure are addictive, as many of you have said.

 These are my first 2.  A regular sized one on the right, and a baby half size one on the left.

Then -  Because Susan mentioned matching - I decided to make another to match one of my pin cushions, which also matches my sewing machine cover.  I had just enough ricrac left over to put around the top of it as well.
