Doing My Home Ec Homework

Well, I'm getting pretty excited about all these projects. It's a great accomplishment for me and gives me satisfaction when I manage to complete each one of them. I can't help but making some mistakes though... but without mistakes you don't learn I suppose. Take a look at my latest sewing projects for Home Ec Online Class.
Cloth Napkin
I've only made one just to see how it'd come out.
 And I decorated it with this simple flower.
Supplies Roll-up
As I've told you before, I'm trying to use whatever material lays around. Until now I haven't bought anything. So, for the adjustable strap I've used one from an old bag and not the metal rings that were suggested, an oilcloth and a baby towel. I should have made the strap a little bit longer though.

Reversible Bib
A little experiment. I didn't have any bias tape around so I thought I could make one myself. It turned out pretty good actually. Although I didn't have a bib to use as a template, so I've traced one freehanded. That's why I've ended up with some gaps. :-(
However, I'm really proud of myself that I pulled it off!
Sewing Machine Cover
I was absolutely sure that I've measured correctly... however, I've ended up with this. Oh, well, it's a little bit short... Big Deal!
Tell me what you think
and Have A Lovely Day!

Oilcloth Bag & Pillow Case

I think my sewing skills are improving and I haven't even started the Home EC Class yet! I'm impressed by myself, really! I wanted to give another try to my last project which turned out totally different than what I had in mind.
Remember this Totebag?
Well, I think that this time I made something that is a little bit closer to it. I couldn't help but change the measurements a little bit ONCE AGAIN! -What's wrong with me?! I always have to put a little extra? Why can I just trust the experts and follow their instructions?! Huh?!!!- Anyway, here is what I've made this time, and I can say that I'm really proud of myself.
Mine is a little bit shorter
(remember the change I've made?)
I've also made a pillow case based on this tutorial. Well, I started with the tutorial and then tried to adjust it on a pillow that I had around (experimenting... AGAIN! - can't follow ALL the instructions step-by step remember?) Well, it has its flaws but it turned out ok I think.
Here you can see the flaw
but it isn't such a big deal
So, do you like them?
Do you also have the IMPOSSIBLE habit
of changing the measurements and patterns?
