ginger and i have been busy

Thursday, January 03, 2008

A couple of years ago, my best friend Jess made me an awesome blanket. It folds up into its own little pouch to become a pillow. When I started sewing last year Josh asked if I would make him one. I agreed so we bought the material. Knight Light got so busy this past fall that I didn't have time to even think about sewing something. Finally on New Year's day I started (and finished) his blanket/pillow.

I've really been putting my new sewing machine (Ginger) to work! Josh also asked if I could make a laptop sleeve out of an old t-shirt. I pretty much had to wing this one but I made the sleeve, added batting and put in some lining. I thought for sure the laptop wouldn't fit when I was done. But it does!

I'm still working through my Bend-the-Rules Sewing book but now I have received Amy Butler's In Stitches and Last Minute Fabric Gifts. I can't wait to try my hand at other projects!
