Sew it:

Its been long since I took part in sew it  on Mayya’s blog.  There were so many other things that needed finishing, so I was a little hesitant to join. 

This time there was a tie on Sew it, between a mobile / ipod case and a straight line skirt.  I had voted for the case, since it would have been a cute thing to give to my friends back in India.  ( If you have read my previous posts, you would have realized that I am getting ready for my holidays)

I have already made two of them, and would try make some more so lets have a look at my finishes……..

One of them is smaller than the given measurement in the tutorial, since I wanted to use it as a mobile case and the other one can be used either as a PSP case or a camera case.

    This tutorial  from a pretty cool life, is very simple and quick finish and I am sure everyone will enjoy doing this.  Thank you Mayya for this wonderful tutorial.   

Sew it : Patchwork pillow

                                       

After a short break  Sew it is back with a bang and a new look at Mayya’s blog Sew Chic and Unique.  It was fun voting for Sew it and this Wonky Pink Patchwork Pillow by Vanessa @ live laugh sew  got maximum votes.  I was very excited and happy to know the results, since past few days I had been bitten by the patchwork bug,  and have been trying my hands on patchwork stuff.  And as if I was attracting more of patchwork from the universe, Mayya also featured this one on Sew it.  Great…..lol.

Finally I dug through my scrap and assembled all my little fabrics together to make my  colorful - scrapful pillow……

I enjoyed making it since I love color, and also because I used up most of my scrap.   The back side of my pillow looks like this…

Here’s one more picture of my pillow, Oh !! Oh!!  Am I showing off too much?? 

Thank you Mayya, for this wonderful tutorial.  I am really getting good practice doing patchwork , before I join my Quilting classes this week.

Sew it: Origami drawstring pouch

Hi everyone!!  This will be my first project of 2010, and also the first feature in my new blog.  Last year I started my sewing project with Sew it, and I really enjoy doing it. I couldnt participate in the last two Sew it features, but I am happy to have managed to participate this time.  And coincidently my first project this year is also Sew it.

This time Mayya has given us two options and I chose to do the second one that is the Origami drawstring pouch from my little mochi. 

Here’s my finished work….

 

And guess what!!  I did two of them.  Here’s my second one….

Well, why did I sew two of them?   That is because, my sister who is back in India, has requested me to stitch, two of everything I can if possible so that when I go to India, she can have one.  And I promised her I will try my best to do that.

Here’s one final picture……

Anyone who is interested to participate in Sew it, please head on to Mayya’s blog.   I really enjoyed this quick and easy feature. Thank you Mayya.

Note:  I thank everyone of you who have encouraged me and hope you will continue doing so this year as well. I am still trying to get used to all the new features of  blogger, so please co-operate with me till I settle down with my new blog and excuse me if there is any inconvenience .
