Remote Holder

Remember the freebie pattern I told you about in my last post? It's from JoyPatch and it's a remote holder that is as cute as a button. I had to make one for our living room couch. I am going to make one for our bed room too , but later.

So I picked out my fabrics. I LOVE this line. I had bought this fabrics at the last Fat Quarter Frenzy. :o) Cut my little strips....

Quilting it....

Binding it.....

And Ta Da..... I LOVE IT. Thank you Joy for the pattern.

It's a very easy pattern , fun to make , and it's USABLE. I love to make things that I can actually use.

SWAP and swap

I started a new class called SWAP. ( sewing with a plan.) It is wonderful. Monica, the teacher, teaches you how to sew garments that will fit YOU. I am so excited about the class. It is an on going class so you can join anytime.

This is my first garment I am making. PJ's pants. I need to start out very easy , and I love PJ pants. I live in them. And my husband's big T-shirts.


Here is our new Amy Butler fabric I pick for my PJ's. I will be showing you progress, we can laugh together as I try to make garments. LOL We also have a blog so you can keep up with the whole class. : http://www.qaswap.blogspot.com/.

And... I get home from work today and I found this WONDERFUL postcard in the mail from my swap angel partner ( the one I am swap to) She lives in Germany , so my postcard came all the way from Germany. This is so cool. I've gotten a postcard from my swap angel in Australia and a postcard from my partner in Germany. I am going to hang them on my sewing room wall.
