Firstly, I made a pencil case using a tutorial from A Spoon Full of Sugar. The tute is really well done and the end result is high in quality and design. I altered mine a bit, as I usually do, but I would highly recommend using their step-by-step directions!
These nifty little cases can be used for a million different things and are a great way to use up your scraps. My scrap jars are currently at maximum capacity. All my colorful little remnants are, quite literally, exploding out of their containers.
Next, I, finally, made myself a laptop case. Have you seen how expensive these are to buy?? Ridiculous, that's all I have to say. I received some laminated cotton by Amy Butler from The Tin Thimble last time I was home, and because it's water proof, I thought it the perfect material to use to protect my oh-so-necessary computer. It's double padded, lined, and complete with a zipper.
So yeah, the year is off to a good sewing start! I'll be making more of both these, perhaps the laptop covers will end up on my Etsy account.....hmmm. As always, comments are appreciated and well-loved. Happy February everyone!
I want one of the laptop cases!!!! :-)
