I have not been quilting this week. Not one little bit. Instead I have been sewing. I think there is a big difference between the two. The first difference would be the fact that you use a different foot. The second would be that you have to remember if you are at 1/2, 1/4, 1/8 inch seam. And then of course are you doing a top stitch, a button hole, a serger stitch. So many details to take into account. However, it is a lot of fun to accomplish a whole project in one night.
I made was a pretty little jewelry pouch.
I really like how big it is when you open it up. Just think about all the jewelry that could fit in there.
I also I made two pillowcases. I took standard store bought pillowcases and turned them into a customized pillowcases. I took pictures and will write a tutorial soon.
These are for Gramps. Over summer, I had made him this quilt for his birthday.
Now these pillowcase match his lovely quilt.
I am also going to make a decorative pillow. I just haven't got that far on Christmas gifts. Yet! :)

ReplyDeleteSometimes it is nice to just sew (as opposed to quilting), I love just getting a project done in one sitting. This jewelry pouch is the perfect one evening project and yours is super pretty too!
ReplyDeleteThe jewellery pouch is lovely - a great idea for a gift too!
