Sorry no tutorial today. I figured everyone knows how to sew a pillowcase :) If you have any questions on anything you can always email me --- werethejones(at)yahoo(dot)com
Joshua's teacher sent home a note that he forgot to send home last Friday. The kids are supposed to dress up for a Wizard of Oz party - Thursday. Thanks, man. Boys + Wizard of Oz = difficult. {We aren't doing full on costume - 1. He has to sit in it all day. 2. I just spent $65 on a Halloween costume.} I'm thinking just a t-shirt. Probably something to do with the flying monkeys. {I think that's the highlight for him}
Today...I sewed a zipper. I've avoided doing this for uh...2 years. As a google taught me how to sew, sewer it intimidated me. (Really. Google. I had to google what a zipper foot looked like. Don't tell.) But thanks to Skip to My Lou's fabulous tutorial -- I did it!
{Please...do NOT compare my bag with hers...It's embarrassing.}
It may not be perfect. I may need to try again. But woo hoo! No more velcro-ing everything! :)
Highly recommend that you go check out the tutorial and print off the pattern. It's quick and easy. And you can just use scraps! Add some clear vinyl inside for a make up bag; a pocket for the inside for a credit card (I did), a little wristlet. This would make a good gift for anyone! {I was hoping mine would be gift worthy, but maybe the next one!} I plan on making about 25 of these for Christmas. {Teachers guess what you are getting?} Either they will go with matching bags, as 2nd little gift or I may throw a gift card in there.
I also really want to try Noodleheads gathered clutch. So much to do.
I wrote out my project list {that needs to be done before Christmas}-- it's 2 pages front and back! WOAH. Lots to do...Talk to you tomorrow!!
