Disco Kitty Boxy Clear Pouch [A Finish]

It turns out that Aneela Hoey makes the best zippy pouch patterns. I've made quite a few over the last few months from her Stitched Sewing Organizers book, but this one is a standalone pattern. I picked it up in her November sale and it's sat waiting for the perfect fabric, which arrived in December in the shape of Disco Kitty from Tula Pink. I added bright pink and aqua to the bright orange and then went for my sunglasses!


I had a couple of days off work this week to celebrate my birthday and I spent them both sewing! Heaven! I don't really know why I picked this up, perhaps I caught the colours out of the corner of my eye, but it wasn't in the original plan for the two days! On the Monday evening, I cut the fabric attached the interfacing and prepped the binding. 



I picked it up again on Tuesday morning, and by 10am I had a finished pouch. I love how great the instructions are and how quickly these pouches come together! I do not love double fold binding. And I do not love hand sewing it into the fiddly corners - but I love the pouch more than I hate the double-fold binding, so there may well be more of these in my future! Also - it's huge!!



I already have my next Aneela Pattern lined up... and yes, it has more double fold binding! But for now, this is a Finish Along finish! I originally planned to keep nail varnish and acessories in it, but it's too pretty and too big for that, so I expect I'll put sewing in it! You can find my original Finish Along list here.

365 Quilt Challenge 2016 [A finish]

I can't believe I've just typed that heading! When I made the block for January 1st 2016 I could not have imagined the journey this quilt would have taken me on. So make yourselves comfortable and grab a cup of tea, because this blog post may get lengthy! I'd seen the 365 Quilt Challenge on Facebook. I think every quilter on Facebook must have been aware of it. Loads of my friends had signed up and it kept popping up as a "Page you might like" thing. In the end, in November 2015, I joined the group, had a poke round. Decided it wasn't for me. One of the things that really put me off were the fabric requirements: you needed x amount of dark dark fabric, x amount of medium dark fabric, x amount of dark medium, medium, light medium, light, background.... I just couldn't get my head round those requirements. I'd looked at the mock ups on the wesbite and couldn't bring myself to pick a colour. I put it to the back of my mind. But I had obvious...

Tula Nova [A Finish]

I can't believe it's been nearly two years since an epic day out in Huddersfield with the amazing Tula Pink. That day at Simply Solids was pretty close to the best day ever: a morning lecture by Tula where we got to see some of her quilts - and the amazing quilting by Angela Walters - and then an afternoon workshop with her starting work on the Tula Nova pattern. The centre that I made that day became a cushion, but I redid my centre and kept going with a rainbow or stars around it to create my final Tula Nova. All of the print fabrics are Tula All Stars with Pompoms and Stripes. The solids are all Kona. This was my first real time working with Tula Pink fabrics. I'd long been a fan of her patterns, but not her fabric. After this day I was a convert. We won't discuss how much Tula fabric I now have, nor how many of my current WIPs are Tula WIPs! But this was the start. The medallion is all hand pieced using English Paper Piecing. I learned about fussy cutting to...

All the Little Finishes

 I've had a few recent finishes - mostly smaller pieces and mostly not on my list to finish this year (because I've only just started them!) - lots and lots of pouches! Here's a round up... Three pouches I made for the kids for our holiday - all are the Seamingly Sane Pouch pattern, but I used the pattern add-on to adjust the sizes and customised with some straps and in one case, a pocket. These three pouches are made for our work Yubikeys when we travel to protect them - it's a slightly adjusted Aneela Hooey pattern - the peas are an inside joke! I knew I had pea fabric for a reason! A couple more Seamingly Sane pouches - the smaller one was a birthday present for my Dad, and the floral one was for me to protect my diary when I travel. Seven pouches made entirely from my scraps to hold EPP pieces pre sewing! This is the Peekapouch pattern by Sweet Cinnamon Roses. This is the Not So Little Zippy Pouch by Fabric and Flowers. The pattern is a bit of a challenge, but this ...
