Finally some pictures of my sewing!

As I mentioned in my first post I have been giving the sewing machine a bit of a workout lately.....the first time it has been out of my cupboard for a while and certainly the first time for anything other than curtains and alterations to clothes.


The first thing on my list was a Pencil Roll.....I have to say that the inspiration for this came from Deb at the scrapbooking weekend back in April. I have now made a few of these. I decided to make the pockets big enough to hold 1 or 2 pencils or a texta or crayon.
Here are some of my other ones.
I also used one of them to store my crochet hooks and am thinking about making some taller ones to hold my knitting needles and paint brushes.


I will add some photos of the wet bags and shoulder bag I made when I can get my mother to part with them. She has been using the shoulder bag since I made it....and she has put in an order for a matching water bottle and umbrella bag.

Tonight I also tried my hand at making a tissue box cover ....and although I will make some minor adjustments to the next one I am pretty happy with how it turned out. What do you think? That's all for now.

  1. I love that material on your tissue box, did you get it in Spotlight?

  2. Can't believe how many things you've made in such a short time! You are a woman of many talents. Can you post a pic of the shoulder bag you made your Mum?
