Even More Fun For The Feeble-Minded...
My Muse has been MIA for some time now, but I still managed to make a couple of things the last few days. This was my very first attempt at a zipper. It's a nice sized pouch to carry your what-have-yous in and it's lined...another feat of legerdemain I managed to pull off...amazing. Is it perfect, you ask?? No, I answer. But it's not bad, not bad at all for a first attempt. My fabric selection is a little squicky but I was just trying to use what I had figuring that it may all end up in the trash bin...next time, I'll try to find some fabric that rocks. Next time, you query? Yes, I respond. I think I could get into making these. I do need to find a zipper foot, however. I've heard that using a zipper foot while putting in a zipper makes it much easier and a more pleasant experience. I thought I had one, but I sure couldn't find anything that looked like one in my sewing stuff. I know my old Euro-Pro machine came with a bunch of different feet but my current Janome apparently did not. Anyway...I also created this sort of pop-art version of Audrey Hepburn and had it printed and stretched on canvas. I quite like it.

And some of you may be wondering (or not) what ever happened to the fabric I designed and sent off to Spoonflower to have printed...I think it's supposed to be mailed out today. I can't wait to get it...and who knows...I may make a zippered pouch with some of it!
