May 2012 give us lots of love and happiness... Also, life security, a peaceful world and so on (so many wishes for this new year).
And now, when I have a little time to update this blog, I would like to post some crafty things I made during the past couple weeks. First, the checkbook covers.
The first one, I made it on Mother's Day, Dec 22, 2011 (Indonesian). A gift for myself :D. Cute fabric but it was a bit bigger for my checkbook. However, I could put other things like prescription papers from our doctors. At the end, not bad... Multifunction.
Then the second checkbook cover, for my father-in-law, it was perfect in term of size. The only problem was a little stain from my steam iron water. And another thing, my daughter said it was too girly (the colors) but I said, hm, ça va... My faither-in-law loved it too like I did.
A week after, I made a reversible tote bag in a very girly colors and prints (big smile) for my moonlight princess. She could use it for taking some books to/from the library. I really love the result. And my both daughters like it too! It made me think to sew another tote bag from the same fabrics but smaller for my little star. Love, love, love both...!
Tutorial resources:
- Checkbook cover: We are the Robinsons! I modified the size, I did not use any applique.
- Reversible tote bag: Skip to My Lou. I used the exact measurements except for the little tote (8" x 9" for outside & lining pieces, 4"x30" for the straps).
- Fabric rosette flower: My Sparkle.
Happy sewing!
