My mini air purifier kept on turning on inside my bag, so I made this a learning project to make a case for a rounded gadget. I dipped into the scraps of a previous project and I finished it in two nights.
Here's how I made it:
I didn't really measure it. I just based the size of the case on the gadget. I just made sure that the gadget would fit the case :)
Here's how it looks:
I had an odd set of scrap fabric from making a tote bag for a friend. It wasn't a lot, but enough to make a card holder. I needed one because the many rewards cards from shops were too bulky. I also always wanted to learn how to make a proper wallet.
I watched a couple of videos to understand the "logic" behind making small wallets. It was pretty easy to make. I used a piece of paper to understand how to fold the fabric. I aimed to make a 4" x 2.5" holder with two compartments.
Here's how I made it:
Materials:
Scrap fabric
Fusible interfacing
Velcro
Thread
Measurements:
I've been working on sorting and restoring my Mom's fabric and retaso (scrap fabric) stash. I've been toiling over it for the past few months and decided to take a break by sewing. I restored a cute, embroidered fabric. It still had some stains, so I thought it best to make kitchen curtains.
Since the fabric was a bit short, I decided to "upgrade" my curtain sewing skills, by adding a different kind of fabric to make it longer. I matched it with some soft denim fabric and added lace. I wanted to try make table top curtains (the one with loops), but I'm still doing a lot of other stuff, so went for my usual rod pocket curtains.
Here's how I made it:
The result:
Measurements based on my kitchen window:
I just also realized the new curtains match my cat kitchen appliance covers!
I found a bunch of scrap jeans coasters my Mom made back in the 90s. I remember it was a project she was doing with one of her assistants. It smelled of the 90s so I washed it and sun-dried it for a few days. Mom gave me one potholder a long time ago and we still use it. Quite sturdy IMHO!
I got to work and made another one. Hand sewing it together took two days and it wasn't easy (and probably why Mom abandoned the project!). Here's how I made the potholder:
It was a good first project for the year! I've been busy sorting my Mom's stuff and needed a breather, so I got to work :)
