There are just too many free tutorials and not enough days in the week! I have decided to stop pinning so much stuff and start making instead! So here is another great pattern, free that I had pinned and now made, yeah! Only another 14,273 to go!
I thought it was easy to make until it came to the sewing together. My main mistake was putting the catch on the wrong side - which added to the bulk, from all the pocket layers. My Mum immediately pointed out that it would have been easier still to divert from the pattern and sew the tab into the seam. So next time (if there is a next time) I would do that for sure. Still I bent a needle when I was top stitching it, so I am wondering if next time I would quilt the exterior instead, add some template plastic in between to make it a bit stiffer again and then bind it. Just a though.
Happy quilting Sue.
Well done, another finish, good start to the year for you!
ReplyDeleteYou're right, we need to stop looking and get making. Well done.
ReplyDeleteGreat to use up scraps and try something different. The organiser will be very useful.
ReplyDeleteI really like the stamp print. I used to help my daughters collect stamps. : )
ReplyDeleteHad to laugh at your statement about pinning stuff. I try really hard to avoid looking for things to pin or I would have the same problem!
