Kitty cat fabric

Not much sewing or crafting time today.  Was a morning focused on family time out and about, which I always love. I did get an hour or so to myself, so I crept off to my sewing machine and decided to have a go at some lined pencil cases.  This kitty cat fabric from Ikea really is one of my most favourite designs. Luckily I had 2 orange zips ( thank goodness for job lot of zips on eBay a while ago)  and zoomed along making these.  I started off with cutting 10.5" X 6" outsides and lining pieces.

And inside we have spots. So cheerful aren't they? 

That pretty much is all I am going to achieve today I think. Feeling rather wiped out after a few very up and about everywhere few days. Going to spend the evening with Mr Bradhen, youngest son and a DVD. Lets hope I don't fall asleep halfway through!

Take care and stay crafty

Quiet day

Quick post. It's been a very tiring few days. Not a lot has been done. We did a go to IKEA yesterday for drinking glasses. And this cat fabric grabbed my attention so a metre came home with me. Now I'm kicking myself as should of got 2. So answers on a postcard of what I should make with these awesome kitties 

I often sew with a cup of coffee beside me and a drink of Pepsi too. I was using clips today as was sewing oilcloth and nearly ended up with clips put in my coffee. Luckily I just managed to avoid it.....just 

I've not sewn with oilcloth before so gave it a go with this tote bag. I put the walking foot into my sewing machine and had no problems at all. I'm pretty impressed with it. 

So for now. Take care and stay crafty
