Stuff, Stuff and more Stuff...

Well, to keep busy and out of mischief.. I have been playing in my sewing room...

Lots of stuff to do,, just which 'stuff' shall I do first?

 

I decided to putter with quilting patterns and other stuff......

 I sorted out and decided to only keep these quilting books,, the rest are slated for WSQ aka Washington State Quilters group... and others to the local Thrift shop.

 I had this pattern  in my quilt container,, I don't even remember when or where I bought!,,, and in my fabric stash I found these remnants of fabric,,, Here is how it turned out....

 I haven't decided what to make it into yet, so for now it is going into the UFO pile...

 I came across a "Allpeoplesew" pattern, '4-Patch' and decided to use up all my Batik fabric pieces.. 

 I literally had a small handful of trimmings  left after cutting out my squares.

 The pattern called for 41/2" and 8 1/2" squares.. but I had to reduce the size by half,,

2 1/2" and  4 1/2" squares.

Now it is all sewn together,, just needs to be ironed and then it to will go into the UFO pile... It is roughly 20 x 20 inches square.

 Then today I pulled out one of my older Mary Jane's Farm magazines and came across this idea..

A 'jacket' for my French Press coffee maker.

 I had to make my own pattern,, and I scrounged around in my Mary Jane fabric scrap stash...

 I used a light weight batting for  the inner padding,, I didn't have enough 'Thin-sul bright' padding so I used the fiber batting...

I think next time,, I will use wool felt for the lining...

 I used 'Hook-n-Loop" tape for the closure ...

All in all I think it turned out quit cute.. and was fairly easy to sew...

 

Well, tomorrow is another day to get into more stuff and mischief...
