Today I made...

I made a pencil case today.  I started a little while ago by deconstructing a not entirely exciting piece I'd done.  I didn't want to throw it away, since it was quite a bit of fabric, so I decided making some small pencil cases from it would be good.  I bought zippers of the right length over the weekend.  I'm not getting the ends of the zippers quite right, they're OK, but lumpy.  I want to work out a better design.  I'll post a picture soon.

Thursday Post

I've managed to get a couple of good things done today:

1.  Made a little coin purse, with lining.  I goofed the stitching a little so around the zipper is a little lumpy and the lining isn't an ideal fit.  Still, I learned a couple of things while doing it and it should go better the next time I make one.

2.  A loaf of banana bread!  Another experience, since I had to look up the conversions for using a different type of flour than the recipe called for.

3.  I've been making more cards and including some hand embroidery on them.  The results are pretty cute.

You might also have noticed that I added a labels cloud to the bottom of the blog page the other day.
