I already finished the easiest and quickest selvage project. Pencil holder and you guessed it. There are more to come :)
I keep my pins in there so this time I have a lid to put on.
I only forgot to match my seams. Nobody is perfect, right.
Do you remember the pile of mess from trimming? Well, I cut it up even more.
I placed organza on top of it and added some zig zag lines. No ironing this time around.
I also stitched together my tiny HSTs. I admit I make projects based on the thread I have in my machine.
They finished 1" and believe it or not I didn't sweat to get such perfect points. I used my 1/4" foot with guide as usual and that's all.
I ironed the squares on interfacing first and used the postage stamp block technique.
Here is how my experiment continued. I cut out three triangles and sewed around them.
I'll add more quilting in but I ran out of white thread in my bobbin and I also have another things to work on. Time to change the thread! :)
Linking up with finish up Friday! and
I really love seeing your progress, Vera. The pencil holder looks great to me, and I really like where the confetti scraps with triangles is headed.
ReplyDeleteThat pencil holder is very cute! Does it have a bottom? Or is it just a tube to fit over the can?
ReplyDeleteWow what great projects!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you have a lot of fun playing at your sewing machine!
ReplyDeleteGoodness, now I will have to start keeping my tiny trimmings too! What a great way to use every scrap of fabric, thanks for the ideas!
ReplyDeletewow! awesome scrap projects for sure!
ReplyDeleteSome really great projects here. I'm especially interested in those "confetti" triangles. I can't wait to see what your negligent style turns them into!
ReplyDeleteI seem to always be changing thread, feet (need screwdriver) and stitches on my machine. Maybe I should take a leaf out of your book and simplify!
ReplyDeleteWhat a clever use of trimmings - smart idea!
