A few weeks ago, when I realized that my sewing machine was going to be in storage for maybe close to a month, I got a little bee in my bonnet. I made 2 skirts, a dress for Abi, a few pillows and a key chain. Here are two of the little projects I made.
I got this pillow panel from Purl Soho while I was in New York. Isn't it so darling? It's a print on a tea towel by British designer Sarah Young. She also has 5 other prints (all equally awesome). This one is Clarence the lion. He's very dashing don't you think?
After I saw how great this little guy turned out I decided to finally cut into some of the delicious leather I picked up from Mood. I was so nervous about it. I didn't want to waste even a tiny little scrape of it.
I have needed a new key chain for a few months. I've had the same big, hot pink letter M for the past 10ish years and it was starting to get a little rough around the edges. So I cut out a rectangle about an inch wide and 7ish inches wide, grabbed some fantastic orange chambray ribbon (from Purl Soho - really wish I had bought more) and decided to try out one of the decorative stitches on my machine.
One row of stitching down the center, another to stitch the strip into a loop around the key ring and we're good as gold. I'm a fan, are you?
I love that fabric! I need to wonder around a big city one of these days to find some really interesting fabric shops. And the key chain? How ingeniously simple.
