2018 FAL Q1 list

Time to make the list for Q1. Here is mine:

Some projects are new. Some are pretty old.

I started paper tin covers. I made one as trial and pretty much love it.

Prairie point pouches are my current OMG goal.

I precut some fabrics and vinyl in December. Time to finish those vinyl pouches.

Pig cushion to be finished.

Echino bag in progress.

And ongoing project love wall hanging.

Love mini

One more finish from my FAL Q4 list is this mini. That makes it 2/5.

Plus my sewing space got some updates. I did go through my drawers but more sorting is required.

I made decision to have no visible binding on front side. I left overlapping fabric to create binding at the back.

I have no idea what this technique is called.

I used local pearl cotton which I have in many color shades. It is called Perlovka.

I'm not sure if my binding method was good idea and I'm little pissed that the embroidery is not well centered. You know those doubts when you finish something.

For those curious souls it ended up 6x9".

OMG - 01

New Year, new goals and plans to be set up.
I have participated in OMG goals last year and I would like to continue with it.
I find it hard to pick just one goal each month with many ufos and wips in my drawers. Therefore I choose to try out new too me tutorial from the web: PRAIRIE POINT POUCH TUTORIAL

Choosing fabrics might be complicated task too. I have passed quite easily though. I went with some on top and found matching zippers too! Remember, matching zipper is the key factor :)

These fabrics are called Nordika and I have them in my stash for a while. It's time to put them in use. I used some of them on my 241 tote. Choose your goal and join in the fun.

OMG - 12 finished

I knew there won't be much time in December so I picked my OMG goal wisely.

I managed the blue section I wanted.

Added some green.

And solid pink.

These are no longer scrappy like the first lot I made years ago. You can find the tut here.

They are the same size. I had this idea of having one solid + 2 of each color. I haven't realized that it would be too many.

So we will see what I'll end up with. I might have 2 of each color only and move the rest on another rack.

This will have to wait as I'm out of order these days. I underwent surgery on my right shoulder and cannot move with my right hand fully to have it healed/recovered properly.

I hope all of you had lovely holidays and approaching New year in optimistic spirit :) I surely do.

Pouches

Since these pouches were given away I can share them with you.

Echino looks great on any bag or pouch.

Finding and using matching zippers makes me happy. Zippers make me happy for reason unknown in general.

I also like long zippers which makes perfect handle.

I make majority of all pouches out of one piece of fabric. Sometimes I put extra stitches at the bottom.

I use one piece for lining as well. It means no extra seam inside.

I also made few more vinyl pouches. I shared the tut in this post.

My last project was team sewing. Mommy+daughter. The task was to create something pink starting with letter T.

So we made pink pouch with three triangles and pink tulip. Pouch in my language is called taštička so it fits perfectly.

There was hidden lollipop inside the tulip.
