WIP Wednesday {8.15.12}

So it's Wednesday again. Amazing how that just keeps happening. And we are already halfway through August and that is just blowing my mind. I am kind of excited for fall, I must admit, although I'm sure I'll regret it once it's here and I remember how much I hate being cold. But anyway, crafty things. I am moving right along down my list and it feels good. I never get quite as much done as I want to, but I'm doing alright. If only my little love bug would go back to actually sleeping during naptime instead of talking to herself and distracting me....

Completed:

ipad case


I finally finished this! I used the tutorial over at Fresh Lemons Quilts, which I have used before and love. It is a bit wonky because of the foam I used inside, but it turned out really nice and I hope she likes it. I'll post more about this later.

New:

duffle bag


Everything except the batting is cut and ready to go. This is my project for today. And it is for me so I am pretty excited.

phone case
I didn't take a picture, but I have the fabric and measurements all figured out. I just have to do it.

zippy clutch

Pieces all cut and ready to go.

nikki tote bag
I pulled a stack of fabric for this. It will be a gift for my moms birthday in less than 3 weeks, so I have to make it soon.

Still Going:

skill builder


This pictures is from the other day before I started sewing down the binding, but I actually finished the binding last night (thank you netflix free trial).  I just need to wash it and hope it doesn't fall apart and then figure out how to take pictures of something so large. 

Waiting:
*wedding quilt - this is not at all a priority right now, but I don't want to forget it
*baby quilt -inspiration has struck...once I have time to put it together

The next week will be finishing all that up and figure out my next round of things to make. I can't wait to show off the skill builder finish, I am so in love with it and anticipate it will be on my bed by the end of the week.  I haven't even though far enough to figure out exactly what is next, but I guess I have enough to keep me busy for right now. Hope everyone is having a lovely week!

  3. I like the bright colors you chose for your iPad case. I just came across that duffle pattern and would like to try it out, but I'm a little scared. It looks like it could be difficult for a new sewist.
