It's reversible. I tried sewing a button on it but I think I would need a much longer needle than I have, and it would also make the patterned side look warped and I didn't want that. Maybe I will just sew a button onto the striped side, we'll see.
I can also post what I was going to post last week, but we didn't have power for 4 days so I was unable to. It's a little clutch (from an Amy Buttler pattern) that I made for my friend Sam. I went to see her dive in her last meet ever and I wanted to give her something special, besides cookies, which I give to her at every meet, because she loves them so much. I think the colors (and hint of glitter) fit her personality very well.
This weekend I am going to Maine to see my Mum and I will be able to baste my quilt since her house is a little bit bigger than 500 square feet and has a little bit more floor space.
Be sure to check out the other finishes this week!
Lauren!
I love the pillow you made out of the huge pillowcase and congratulate you on your Fabric Freeze! I try to stop buying fabric ever so often, and then I get tempted by great online bargains...

ReplyDeleteFabric Freeze sounds scary! I am on a crafty supply freeze for a year, but I just seem to be doing more sewing this year than ever before (and craft supplies and sewing supplies are totally different :o) Good luck getting your quilt basted!
ReplyDeleteThe pillow looks great! I guess that's the good thing about a fabric freeze - it makes you think to use what you already have and come up with something fantastic!
ReplyDeleteTrust me, fabric freeze is not so bad. It helps you see what you have with fresh eyes. You loved those fabrics once, right? Nice work!
ReplyDeleteYour blog name just sounded so clever I had to pop in. Good luck ending the fabric freeze soon! Arlene
ReplyDeleteLauren, your pillow looks great on the new duvet cover. Your friend loves her bag I am sure. Both great finishes. Thanks for sharing. Good for you for doing the Fabric Freeze. I've tried but always fail ;-)
