OMG I am loving my sewing machine! I am finding the cutest patterns for little bags and things that I am having a hard time picking what I would want to make first! I have very limited time to sew so when I pick a new project to sew I want it to be a.) quick enough to finish in an hour or two and b.) not so difficult that I will be pulling my hair out and end up wanting to throw my sewing machine out the window. The reason I want something quick is because since I am working on a little quilt I don't want to start any long, time consuming projects.
Enter the TEA WALLET! I thought the birds I was making were addictive! These things are soooo cute! They are like little credit card holders, but meant to carry your favorite tea around in your purse =). What an adorable concept. I am a big fan of tea, more so since I have been with the love of my life the last (almost) 10 years. He is OBSESSED with tea so I am going to whip up one of these for myself so I can bring along his favorites when we go out...this one I gave to a co-worker.
Here is my first tea wallet!
These are the pieces before I sewed them together. It was actually very easy until that point. I had to figure out how to get my sewing machine to sew through the thicker points in the fabric. I just used my manual wheel thing until it started feeding through easier. That seemed to work!
I love the coffee/tea/hot cocoa fabric. Could be any one of them lol. I have about a yard and three quarters so I am going to have to find some other things to use it for. Perhaps my first mug rug?? My quilting class is tonight so I am hoping we will get to the basting point so I can learn how to use my walking foot for quilting. Then I can start a mug rug! We will see. I will post pics of the progress tomorrow hopefully =)....I really want to start anoth quilt...one that is MUCH bigger then the one I am working on in class...but I know I have to be patient...not my strongest virtue I confess =P
