I’ve been struck with this darn Bell’s Palsy and have had a hell of a time sewing with it. I paralyzed the right side of my face, as well as my right neck and shoulder. I’m trying to power through though! I’ve been doing a lot of embroidery because I can push the start button and walk away… It’s amazing! I started making these so I could teach a class on them, and now I’m just in love with them! I’ve made about 10 already, and I’ve gotten plenty more vinyl! Wish me luck!
I finished the second clutch I had to make for a class. I’m super excited to teach it! Here is the first one I made. I must say, I’ve gotten pretty good at following a pattern. The first clutch was my first attempt at using a pattern, and I must say, it wasn’t half bad. What do you guys think? I still think I might end up adding some decorative buttons!
I did it! My first major non-quilting item! There are a few places that need improvement, but over all I am quite happy with it! I’, also doing one with some Americana fabric. I think it will turn out equally as cute! On that one, I will be doing velcro instead of buttons, but I’ll probably throw one on for decoration anyways! I’m so excited to teach a class on this at work!
Since I’ll be teaching a class on this at the store, I figured I would make a couple of them at home first. I still have to make the bag this wallet goes in, and then make at least one more. I’ll be doing the class the 4th Wednesday in April, so I have some time to perfect it, but I need samples for both the stores by Monday, so wish me luck this weekend! I have quite a bit to do!
