Little Cork Coin Pouch

 Inspiration from one of my facebook sewing groups. I almost derailed to make this right then and there. But I held firm and finished my other two "must do" projects.

This one was super fast to sew. No lining. The cork fabric is backed by a thin knit fabric which works quite well for a finished look inside.

The facebook sewist placed a cut-out heart there but my patch was round, therefore the cut-out was a circle.

Too stinkin'cute. And fast.



***...and two days later, added a copper rivet at the connector for strength. See first photo.

Skydiving Bunnies

My new blogging friend, Heidi, of Red Letter Quilts, sent me an email recently asking if I was interested in this fabric. She found it at her local fabric store and it was super cheap. 

As in, $5.49 a yard. This is a panel print; usually these are sold by the panel which is shorter than a yard.

Anyway, Heidi picked up on my little obsession problem with airplanes and sewing. BFF status here.
I jumped - lol, bunnies jump fast too. In my five boxes of airplane fabrics, I did not own this particular biplane print.

At first, I was just going to get two yards for the stash but then I got looking at the panel and I saw pillowcases. The lower part with the bunny airshow will be the main fabric with the upper sky portion the cuff. A little red in the right tone will be the trim.

Won't everyone on my christmas list love getting new pillowcases for Christmas? So, I asked her to get four yards. You are seriously THE BEST, Heidi!!!

Over all picture of the panel. The sky is folded over at top - so lots of blue with airplanes flying around.

 Lower portion of the panel - depicting a busy little airshow with tents set up and spectators.

For the record, I would never jump out of a perfectly good airplane.
