Among them was the first FQ I've received from the S,M,S Fabric Swap! Yay, so happy!! :D

Miya sent me this gorgeous FQ:

MP3 Pouch - TaD day 5

Today's Thing-a-Day was more sewing!! Yay! XD
Day 5 I decided my little Samsung MP3 player deserved a new case to keep it safe and warm and happy.

I based the design off the tutorial by Petchy, found on her blog. I changed a couple of things here and there but it pretty close to the original source.
I used a quilting cotton for the top and some red felt for the interior. A piece of shiny red ribbon topped it off. I'm quite happy with how this turned out! Yay for more practise!! :D

If I got my coding half right, clicking on the images should bring up a larger view, if you're interested. :p

Day 3 of Thing-a-Day 2009

Today I did some more sewing, I'm enjoying my sewing ventures ^^ no matter how newbie they be XD

I made a little Valentines Day themed lavender palm-size pillow, very easy and quick to make and a little something more to help me with my n00b sewing machine skills. (lol. skills.)
Also smells lovely <3

Anyways, on with the show!

Day 2 of Thing-a-Day 2009

For day 2, of Thing-a-Day 2009, I chose to do a spot of sewing. :D

Also, this is my first sewing project ever!! Well, out of highschool home economics class anyways lol.

Today I finally got around to trying a pattern I've wanted to try for a long time. It's relatively simple for a newby to the sewing machine, like me, and didn't take me more than an hour and a half to finish. The pattern is from Martha MacGyver's gorgeous blog.

I chose this fabric for the CLOCKS category at Thing-a-Day, as well as coz i found it lovely and whimsical. ^^

Process:








Finished Napkin Pouch! :



Yay! I thoroughly enjoyed making this, even though been my first time, I was slightly nervous! lol
Nervous enough to earn myself a nice little blister from my iron. XP
