Challenging scraps

My friend Monika is not only quilting genius but she also challenges me with her scraps. When she asks if I want them, I never say NO :)

These are #modafrivols #frivols1 and I still have some to play with. Not my typical choice of prints and colors but that's the right fun with someone elses scraps.  You can see what Monika created here.

I sewed the strips together and quilted on a piece of batting.

Here is peak at the back.

I used big enough piece for lining. I left the selvedge on.

It became another little pouch with loop.

Colorful and girlie as I needed gift for my niece.

Enough room for little toys or any other treasure. See that selvedge right there? Isn't that fun detail?

Plus it can be hanged or easily carried around.

I have added simple leather zipper pull since zipper pull is a MUST :)

Have you noticed that little pile on my table? I had to buy some more of my fav local prints to continue with my other projects.

Note: I'm having little giveaway. Check it out if you are interested here.

Pouches

Sometimes when I see tutorial I have to try it right away. That is what happend with those two pouches. You can find it here. It is called single scoop zipper bag.

This one was a trial. I simple quilted few lines. Matching thread so look at the brown ones :)

I used some leather scraps as embelishment for the second one.

Plus these little flowers I made while ago. They suppose to be poppy seeds.

I have also finish the pouch with green accent. This is probably my fav type.

Made out of one piece which creates no seam at the bottom.

Zipper installed as open wide. Find the tut here. Some dots always sneak in.

This time I just tucked the end of zipper to the side to create small loop. It might not be visible but I quilted the green part with green thread. Great project for little scraps. I want to do some more color options as I have plenty of scraps.

While you here, don't forget to check out my neglected giveaway.

Neglected giveaway

Hello my dear neglected readers! Just because the star constellation is right I'm having a giveaway. Noo, not really due to stars :) While ago Bloglovin sent me this exciting news.

So I made those two minis in June with giveaway on mind. One works as mini for the wall and the other as mug rug. Plus you get a piece of hot pink sewing theme fabric just to cheer you up.

In my previous post I made a note about my health issue so I'm just going to spill the beans. I'm having trouble with my right shoulder. I went to see the doctor and last month I finally learned what is wrong. To make it short and clear let me just say that by my own stupidity I have damaged it and I must undertake arthroscopy. This fun event will take place in November.

As I'll be left with my left hand only for a while tell me some fun activity I'll be able to do during this period of time. The more funny and absurd comment the better. Please cheer me up for those times when I'm feeling sorry for myself :)

If you are regular reader I owe you apology for neglected comments and emails. Please forgive me and leave a second comment with anything you have on mind :)

This neglected giveaway will run till the end of August. Please feel free to enter.

OMG finish

It's been a while since I completed OMG goal. This month I choosed pouch with green accent plus some jewellery to go with.

Those HSTs ended up a little too big for loo pouch so I'll be making larger pouch out of it later on.

Last night I put my headphones on and matchstick quilted those two pieces. I must do that more often since it turns my brain off completely. Brainless theraphy :)

I filled up the jewellery plastic tube with beads and I'm waiting for the glue to dry. I won't show you how it looks on neck since it is still little unstable.

I have two sizes of that plastic tube. I used the smaller one for bracelet.

So I have completed my goal and made pouch with green accent but it is maybe too simple. I hope the other one will make up for it.

Here is pic with the first loo pouch I made.

And one more detailed shot because we all love matchstick quilting right :)

I consider July to be a good month. It went by quickly as the others but I managed to blog more, sew more ... We went on family vacation to Hungary and it was a success. Biffy Clyro has new album out and I have been listening to it a lot. The only thing that bothers me is some health issue but I'll talk about that some other time ... Stay well!

Inspired by ...

Two weeks ago I have started these two projects. I couldn't help it. I'm not much involved in linky parties lately but I like to get involved in #saturdaynightcraftalong

The plus project was inspired by Paige @quiltedblooms and her Positively transparent mini. I love her color choice but in order to make it my own I turned to primary colors.

I had no particular plan I just needed to get it out of my head. It looks a lot like cushion to me :) but who knows.

This heart was inspired by Jayne @twiggyandopal and her lovely minis. I have adjusted the pattern a bit but I have kept her color placement :)

Work in progress.

Row by row. My plan is to use it as front panel for simple tote.

Our concrete makes the perfect background. I love it.

Both projects were perfect for my leftovers and scraps from the previous one and I'll keep on using them until I ran out completele :) You've been warned :)

While cutting the fabrics smaller pieces ended up as 1.5" squares. Their time will come ...
