Hello everyone! I know I've fallen a little behind on schedule with my creations for Home Ec Online Class. I've been way too busy with my work and all that I haven't had the time to make anything. Thank God the instructions will be available for a whole year, so I'll be able to work at my own pace and hopefully I'll improve my sewing skills to perfection! :-)
Take a look at what I've made so far.
This cute tote bag made of kitchen towels (for the outside)
and a baby towel (for the inside-lining)
For the handles I've used a heavy fabric (it's original purpose was for furniture) and with pieces of kitchen towels I've made some little yo-yos. I've also added buttons and a small butterfly out of polymer clay.
Isn't it cute?
Yesterday, I've made a pillow case.
The original project involved also piping but since I haven't had any of it handy at the time, I've skipped it and I've made just a plain pillow case. So, here is the result. Nothing fancy, I've just used the same fabric as for the tote bag's handles.
A little mistake on the measurements
and I ended up with this gap.
But I've fixed it with these.
I think my sewing skills are improving after all.
I'm really excited about it!
What about you?
What you've been up to lately?
Have you made anything special?
I'd love to see!
I love them!! The pattern cushion is gorgeous!
ReplyDeletethat tote bag from handtowels is adorable! and a great reuse for handtowels! :)
ReplyDeleteHey classmate!
ReplyDeleteI love the colors of your tote! And what a genius idea to fix the gap in your pillow case. I haven't gotten to that project yet, but I'm excited for it!
Can't wait to see more,
emily
@Hearthandmade Thank you! :-)
ReplyDelete@katiebug92 I'm not confident enough yet to go and buy proper fabric so I try to use whatever lays around. ;-)
@emily b I've fallen way behind this class. These are the only two projects that I've made so far. I hope I'll catch up soon.
