They
are a rather cheap plastic but I think they will work well to make some heart appliqués-
I love that there are so many sizes. I
figured if I just traced around them onto interfacing and then sew the
interfacing to the fabric, I would get some fairly straight hearts. I don’t do well freehand. Might have to go back and see what other
kinds of cookie cutters they have there.
Stars would be nice.
I
slept very well last night – that may account for the weird burst of energy I
had this morning. Looking around, I
found many little things I had been procrastinating on getting done. One of them was putting away some
laundry. Sometimes, I am really dense. I use IKEA shopping bags for laundry – so much
easier to carry up and down stairs than a basket. One had been sitting on the floor that I
thought was full of sheets and a blanket that needed to be folded. Who likes to fold sheets and blankets? Not me – I left them, thinking I would get to
them eventually! So I started pulling
out sheets one at a time, then the blanket.
What do I find underneath- a bunch of shirts and pajamas I have been
missing for a couple of weeks. As Bugs
Bunny used to say, “Whadda maroon!”
I
really need to stop my procrastination.
I would have included that in my goals on the first of this month, but
as I found out, as soon as I say I’m not going to do something, I want to do it
all that much more. For instance, I said
I wouldn’t buy more fabric, but since saying it, I am obsessing and want to buy
more. Maybe I should try reverse psychology
and say I’m not going to attempt to lose weight this year. Hmmm... it’s a thought.
Tomorrow
I am going to make the third sewing machine cover. Looking over my stash, I was having a hard
time deciding what fabric to use. Then I
spotted this-
This
is a circle skirt I started to make years ago, probably in the mid-80s! When I
saw the size of the skirt, I was so embarrassed – it’s huge! I just quietly folded it up and put it
away. There’s a ton of yardage in it so
I have plenty to make a cover- heck, I could probably make a tent for Harry to
play in! LOL
So
tomorrow, I will finally have that third cover made! YAY!
And I’m very happy I got some other stuff accomplished today! That’s a good thing.
i LOVE this material. Anything ocean related is a win in my book. Can't wait to see what it looks like when you get it finished :)
ReplyDeleteIt's really not as spectacular as the potential it held. :-( But it will do and maybe I can fancy it up. Picture coming up!
DeleteIt looks great! I like your idea bout using shell buttons on the seam too.
