I have two new projects for me in mind, but am waiting for a pattern and some fabric to arrive…Tomorrow?
In the meantime, I have been stealing snatches of time to sew for friends. I made 2 more of the lunch bags like mine for 2 lovely young ladies' birthdays. One for my DD #2 who turned 23 (!) and one for my walking buddies daughter.

I was able to fussy cut one, but there wasn't enough fabric to squeeze out another with the design in the center. The fabric is so pretty that I don't think anyone will mind. I used more stiffener in the bottom of these bags to give them more shape. I didn't tackle the zipper - I know…I promised - but #2 and #3 sure go together in a snap and I was in the mood for a fast, fun project without too much thinking. DD #2 loved it!
Tonight's project was for a co-worker who just got married. She has an amazing blog that you should check out if you are at all into food: Ellen In the Kitchen
So what to make a fellow foodie? Embellished kitchen towels, of course!
Have I mentioned how I love my embroidery machine?

The towels are the burgandy and gold of our school's colors and the zebra stripe? Well…everyone knows that all teachers - especially high school special education teachers have to enjoy living on the wild side just a bit! :-)
I'm hoping that you have a little bit of a chance to find your wild side this week!
Beautiful work my friend. I wish I had an embroidery machine. Lovely...
ReplyDeleteThanks Mary! I lucked into a deal on my machine when they had just introduced the newest and greatest deluxe machine and were trying to unload the previous newest and greatest. I've had it 4-5 years now and it is still new and greatest enough for me! :-)
