Although I have not been blogging much lately, I managed to get some little things done over the last months. Here’s some of my secret sewing:
A fabric basket for my neighbor (she asked for berry as the main fabric):
A keychain for my colleague:
A tote bag for our little neighbor turning 5 who is a huge fan of firefighters:
A coaster/ mugrug than can double up as potholder - for our friend’s birthday (Pattern from Sarah Fielke’s “All that and the hatter”)
Fabric baskets for my friends… (free tutorial here)
4 Coasters for my friends in Québec, Canada, who love cats. (The free pattern was part of Elizabeth Hartman’s “Catventalong”). So much fun. One day I might make an entire cat-quilt.
And last but not least, I made another tote bag. This one is for my sister’s MIL:
That variegated aurifil thread is my new favourite!!! And those FMQ Stars are way easier than I feared. I shouldn’t have procrastinated quilting that tote for so long…
If I can find a minute or two this afternoon, I might get a blog post ready for tomorrow with all the handmade gifts I received (o:
Have a great sunday!
