Received this pattern by Jessica Abbott in an email from The Quilt Show. Knew it would be perfect for my co-worker's birthday. She's crazy about her little dachshund named Princess. We filled it with Tootsie Rolls. Continuing my zipper challenge phase with an interior lining. My mother added the eyes that are mostly hidden under the ears. BODY FABRIC: from Hobby Lobby.

Zip It

Really enjoyed making these sweet triangle zipper pouches. I hope to make more to pass out at Thanksgiving to friends. Glad to be using up leftover 10" squares from a previous project. (Aug 2016)

Handy Pouch

This is a handy-sized zippered box pouch which takes minimal fabric. I believe it can be a great little travel cosmetic bag, tech cord storage or camera lens storage bag. It has a fleece lining but probably not enough to protect a lens entirely. EXTERIOR FABRIC: from a vintage textile sample by Pierre Frey, Paris France; INTERIOR FABRIC: a 75 cent fat quarter. MY NEW SKILLS: zipper install, zigzag stitch, tabs.

Thomas and Friends Pillowcase

A Thomas themed pillowcase for 2 special little boys (and planning a 3rd). It fits a travel sized pillow - perfect for laying about watching movies. I was so pleased to learn that my grt-nephew liked his enough to sleep with it the first night. I know it's a simple thing but it warmed my heart to learn that little fact. I hope to make more for various holidays and seasons. Cuff & Accent: Thomas yardage from Walmart; Body: Moda Snow yardage from MSQC. (11 Jun 2016)

A Magic Pillowcase+1

My first Magic Pillowcase as taught by Shabby Fabrics (shown folded, ready to box and gift). The cuff is ALL THE WEE BEASTS and the white is Kona. I'm pleased with how the french seam has all the raw edges hidden. Hope to make more of these with additional butterfly prints for some little girls. (21 May 2016)*** 2nd PIC=My second using same fabric on cuff with a solid accent fabric ***

Strawberry Draw

This little drawstring bag was made for a friend who has a farm and runs her own produce stand. The interior red is much like a strawberry's skin. I like the polka dot ribbon! (May 2016)

FIRST TIME PIPING

What a challenge! Little did I know how detailed it would become for me to create this 16" pillow with coordinating blue piping. It looked so simple on YouTube. My hurdle was creating the BLUE fabric chain which encases the cord; joining it so that all the seams were on the same side. Used my ZIPPER FOOT to attach piping - first time changing out a foot! Learned how to move my needle off-center. This goes to my sis-in-law to match the reverse of her Zig Zag Tablerunner. Print=Brother Sister Design Studio Fabric (Apr 2016)

Draw String Bag

These little bags are fun to create and can be made with just 2 Fat Quarters. I'm still building my sewing confidence! Great to hold jewelry or a small ball of yarn when you're sitting in a waiting room and want to keep busy. I think the little pockets on the outside are darling. I've given several as gifts and each recipient was tickled to get one. I especially like the color play of the peek-a-boo lining. (Feb 2016)
