So I should start with the item I crafted quite a while ago. This was a free form pouch that I Sashiko stitched after I finished the bag. I needed something to keep my usb cord & memory cards in for my camera, as they were starting to scratch the screen. I already have a camera case but this was to go inside it, as my camera is small and the case was just that little, okay make that a lot too big.
The next item is something I made for my niece's 3rd Birthday. She has been wanting to help out in the kitchen for a while now, so I though it only fair that she have her very own apron. I used a heavier calico, pale pink tape and some ribbon Mum & I found at the Australasian Quilting Convention in April this year. The pattern comes from ... (To be advised). It was very easy to sew, the tricky part for me was attaching the ribbon. I had to make sure it was straight and didn't move while I was sewing the side seams together. So I used a number of pins, and did prick myself a number of times while turning it out! The same thing applied to the tape for the straps and the 'D' rings at the side. I also stitched the ribbon down along the long side, once I had turned the apron out the right way, to make sure it stayed straight! This was the first time I had sewed an apron pattern too.
I also hand stitched my niece's name on the pocket in pink variegated DMC cotton. You can't see it on the photo, because I took the photo before I did it.
An the final item is another Chook! It will have a twin, I just haven't finished it yet. I made this for a friend at work for her Birthday, as she requested them!
