Little things

Last week I needed small gift. The scotch tape was still on my machine so I made another vinyl pouch. This time with little bit more fabric. The construction is the same as the one I shared in my tut.



As the needle was already dull I made two more. This time with vinyl on the front only. Inspired by this tut. I leave the opening at the bottom and topstitch only the bottom part. I totally copy cat this idea from a local friend.


You would expect I either work on my January goal or Q1 list but I got something that bothered me more. On my Christmas list there were some felted jewelry so I had to work on that a little bit.

Earings and little brooch to go with it.


My word for this year is BALANCE. Those above are all to be given away so I needed something for myself to keep the balance, lol. Plus little project that can give instant gratification is always welcomed.


Don't let this picture fool you with the size. This is pocket size diary (approx 4x3").


I just love this print. I have my 241 tote precut and these are the leftovers and little reminder to keep me going. When you look at the diary from the side you'll see the pages are golden so I added two strings of elastic band in golden shade as well. Matchy details are the thing I focus on, lol.


Linking up with TGIFF and Crazy mom quilts.

    This is such a fabulous collection of projects! I love those pouches! I'll have to pin the tute for later use. That jewelry is so fabulous and that journal cover with the matching elastic is wonderful! I'm also a lover of the tiny details. I get so excited when I'm able to perfectly match things. Thanks for linking up with TGIFF!

    Your sewing is so perfect - I'm envious! Love everything - especially the brooch - WOW that's gorgeous! Is that Gutermann thread?! We don't get pretty PINK spools here - ours are boring white! I just picked up some 1000m spools yesterday (basic white, red, grey) because they were on sale - I wish the fun colours were sold in big spools as well, but our local sewing store is lacking in colour choices for lots of things. PFFFT :D

    Those book covers are just great! And so small! Very beautifully finished. I love the clear pouches too. I keep thinking I should try to make some for traveling.
