New Beginnings . . . Week 13

Forty more  weeks to go . . . Maybe I’ll get to those pillowcases this week. 

Completed my pillowcase; thinking about making two more. I checked out several tutorials, and the measurements were slightly different.  For instance Crafty Gemini’s measurements were; 24″, 12″, and 2″, and Jenny Doan’s (Missouri Star Quilt Co.) measurements were: 27″, 9″, and 2″. However, I noticed that the top and bottom add up to 36″ before sewing. I’ve attached the PDF pillowcasepattern  tutorial by Lindsay Conner that I used, and of course pictures of my pillowcase.

New Beginnings . . . Week 12

Forty-one weeks to go . . .  maybe, pillowcases, I’m not sure!

Oh Well! I didn’t make pillowcases, but I did make a DIY Neck Wallet by Shabby Fabrics, Jennifer Bosworth is the instructor. I think you will  like making this too. I’ve added the video tutorial and link for the free pattern. As always, I’ve posted pictures of what I mad, and I added a decorative stitch to my neck wallet. Have fun!

New Beginnings . . . Week 11

Forty-two weeks to go . . . hmmmm . . . create, create, create

It was another rough week, but I’m determined to complete my 52 week challenge. So, I made a catch all fabric basket. I used the Crafty Gemini’s video tutorial. I sewed the corners up of my basket. It gives it a different look.

New Beginnings . . . Week 10

Forty-three weeks to go . . . Let’s see what creations come to mind this week!

Once again, I took the quick way out; by finding a quick project to complete. I made a keychain chapstick holder. This was a five minute project. I found the instructions on Crazy Little Projects website.

New Beginnings . . . Week 9

My plate is always overflowing, but I’m determined to make something every week; for 52 weeks. So, I made a non-slip sewing machine foot pedal pad, tutorial by So Sew Easy.
