Isn’t all sewing “me time?”
Well, yes and no. I do absolutely love to be in my room and at my machine. Lately a lot of what I am creating are must do’s. Things I am working on in order to obtain a goal I have set for myself in the quilting industry. Sewing for fun and nothing else doesn’t happen too often.
I don’t feel like I am missing out. Until a night like last Friday happens.
I took a class a local quilt shop to make a book clutch. It was so much fun and I loved what I came home with.
I am not a clutch person, so I added straps to mine and made a cross body.
On Saturday I just couldn’t stop myself. I had to make more of this. So I made a wallet to match the mini Tudor bag I made a few months back.
This fits some cards and cash perfectly and also can slide right into my back pocket. Great for grab and go times and times I don’t want to carry a bag!
Saturday evening my daughter comes to me and tells me there is a huge warehouse book clearance going on Sunday. Would I take her and a friend? YES!
The book sale was $2 or less per book. And some of these book covers are so gorgeous they don’t need fabric covers. I plan on doing some more modifications, adding card pockets, inside zippers, different closures, etc. These will make great gifts and now is a great time to make them. It requires E6000 glue and if you have ever used it you know how bad it smells. Perfect outdoor activity right now.
Lovingly,
Lissa
