Storage Bag for Clover Mini Iron

 

My first attempt at doing a triple zipper. My seam ripper got a lot of action during this project, I kept sewing the pieces together in the wrong direction 😫. I also had to attach the iron to the outside because it was just a bit too large to fit inside. I’m storing the cord inside the middle pouch, so I guess it worked out okay.

I watched this YouTube video a gazillion times to help create this- https://youtu.be/7tlPLdkFz5k 

Now that I have the general idea of how to make one, I'm excited to make other ones in different sizes.

First Attempt at Tufting

Reupholstered my kitchen chair with a stretch velvet, which is probably just suited for Christmas dresses for 5-year-old girls, and some vintage brass buttons.  Documenting it here before it gets covered in Nutella fingerprints and spilled milk. 

House slippers for my son made from cotton twill cat fabric that I designed a few months ago.  I might remake these (for myself) with some interfacing, lining and stiff heel support. I upcycled his underwear elastic for the green band around the ankle :)

Testing out a piping presser foot with some recycled gift bag handles and scrap wool felt. I am thinking this would look cute as a pocket detail.

Découpage canvas

My first try at découpaging paper napkins to a piece of a scrap canvas. I love how it looks like it is printed directly on to the canvas!

2 designs added to my Spoonflower shop

Lollipop Panda and Black Sprinkles on Mustard. I had these printed on satin fabric and they came out like silver and gold.

Slipcover for child's sofa chair

I made this slipcover last year for the P'kolino Little Reader chair.  Very wrinkly from a year of toddler abuse but overall in decent shape still.

The muted cloud fabric arrived!

It is now available in my Spoonflower shop

I just ordered a zipper so I can turn it into a pillow case soon.

Neon Orange lining

Deal of the day~ $1.99/yd neon orange lining fabric from a local mom&pop fabric shop.

Sal slippers 2.0. Didn't match up the pattern, whoopsie!

Recycled leather sole and foam padding from the last pair and used more of my shrunken wool sweater for the lining.

Reupholstered Ikea Skruvsta Chair

I took apart the chair and removed the fabric, carefully unstitched it and then used the pieces as a template. A combo of clear tacky glue and fiberfill was used to fill up the hole in the foam. When this fabric wears down I will try making a slipcover instead of taking the whole thing apart again (gazillion staples, achy fingertips).  No more gaping foam holes, yay! Next office chair will definitely be armless.

New pattern in the fabric shop!

This fabric is now available.  I designed this Aztec-inspired pattern in blue and also a gray version in hopes of making a pair of leggings from it.  I am also working on a chevron style pattern that I will be adding to the shop soon. I found a great tutorial for leggings here.

gah-gah-gorgeous fabric

Animal Parade by Junzo Terada. I think this will become a large pillow for myself....that is, if I have the guts to actually CUT INTO it. Oh, the horror!
