More fabric fun.... I love making these hanging towels. I bought some nice towels at Costco, and got two for the price of one since these are cut in half. I had fun bringing out some of my fabric stash to coordinate with the color on the towels. This towel pattern is really a good one. I used some mesh stabilizer that I would normally iron over the back of an embroidery design to cover the thread ends but it works wonderfully to enhance the fabric thickness. Instead of a buttonhole and button, these are secured with a small strip of Velcro. You can find this fun and easy pattern here: http://kleiosbelly.wordpress.com/2010/01/04/christmas-prezzies-6-1-for-you/.

Sewing Stuff
These are a few of my favorite things. (sounds like a song, doesn't it?)... I have so much fabric and I never throw even the smallest piece away. The photo below shows some little pouches, a credit card purse, and an eyeglass pouch. Great little projects.
More coasters...the in the hoop kind in the dark green and the black with polka dots, some crocheted coasters and a few tissue cozies. For each ITH coaster, it only requires two 5x5 pieces of fabric. The little tissue cozy requires a piece of fabric 6x9. Easy peasy stuff.I bought an applique/embroidery CD for some fun sewing. There are 10 little zoo animal faces that have a little fabric and a little embroidery. I made those into cute little totes for some children to carry.
My friend Kim called, very excited that she had seen a cute little lollipop tote on a Pinterest page. She needed some of my supplies to make some and while she was on her way over, I whipped up one just to see how they were designed. For my rendition, this is simply a strip of brown paper with score marks.... a Nestie embossed oval mount, a scallop circle punch, a smaller scallop punch for the turkey face, and a flower Sizzix flower die cut for the background feathers.... a little beak fussy cut and some googly eyes and there you have it. At the top I scored a half inch and a small punched hole in the center. The sucker goes into the 'slot' and the stick goes into the hole, the flat is folded over and secured. He's a little wonky, the beak is off center because I slam dunked the design. Cute...
Can't wait for Thanksgiving to arrive. My son and darling daughter in law and their sweet dog Daisy come to visit.
Thanks for stopping by.
