Sewing class #5

a fresh Sunday morning
with great daylight to take pictures

~ smile ~

I finished the cosmetic bag I started in class last week
not that easy, including the lining and zipper, but I did finish it
and again: learned a lot


the challenge of the week
is this WIP pillowcase that measures 40x60 cm
out of some left over pieces and an old sweater in the middle


I am happy about the look of it so far
now let's see if I can attach the back to it this week

more about the crochet blanket (almost finished!) and some boyfriends'grandma- items in a few days

enjoy your Sunday!

  4. Hej!
    Wat knap van je zeg! Een rits inzetten vind ik nog steeds erg lastig! En jij doet het gewoon eventjes. En die stofjes...Ze zijn echt super!
    Fijne zondag nog!
