Love scraps

I don't sew much these days and one of the reasons was my messy table.

A leave everything on top. You can see many pieces of my previous projects right there!

I took the first step and cleaned it.

I promised to make a block post about scraps because I love to work with scraps :)

Stay tuned for little tut on how to make those scrappy pen holders.

Le challenge - teddy

This month's Le Challenge theme is Gold. I was about to make some jewellery but I prefer silver so no gold in my stash. I went through my fabrics and the only one with something gold was this blue sky with stars.

Let's kill two birds with one stone and make something. My girl asked me for a new sleeping teddy. She left it on my table so I won't forget to make one and that is exactly how the idea was born.

I finished the teddy last night. I only snapped two quick shots and it went to bed with my girl. Today teddy spent the day at preschool and it is going to be fav for a while I guess.

I used pattern from Zakka style book. I made this pillow with pink teddy back in 2012 during the Zakka along.

It is made out of polar fleece which I used for quilt backing.

Cushion insert

My cushion cover needed an insert. Someone shared this tut while ago and I wanted to use some batting leftovers for it.

I cut the main "square" a bit smaller than the cover. I wasn't really measuring.

My batting was not so puffy like the one they used in tut but once I sewed all around it looked all right.

I used zig zag stitch.

I used just one piece for the cover. No marking just few wonky zig zag lines.

When I know it doesn't matter if the lines are not so straight I don't mark or measure. Then I smile at such imperfection :)

It fits well into the cushion cover but it should have been a bit bigger.

It is pretty flat when you look at it from side. I'm yet to give it a test sleep :)

October goal

Last minute decision to join ALYoF :)
It is something I would like to finish this month. It is quilted pouch to become.
It might look like a small goal but based on my latest pace and limits it is just right.
