I recently won a prize on Red Letter Quilts that was amazing.
A fun pencil pouch loaded with fun fabrics.
I turned some of those fabrics into this CD Holder for Heidi.
I had fun sewing with someone elses fabric selections. She likes to sew quilt, so I found several sewing themed fabrics in my stash that coordinated with hers. I hope she likes to listen to CD's when driving....well, even if she doesn't, she can throw it up on her car visor and smile every time she looks at it.
I was going to put a Stearman Biplane patch here but Miss T.G.I.F. jumped up and said, "SEW ME". And this is on the back side - aka the side that faces the car visor. No one will ever see this patch except the recipient.
This is another version of a zippy pouch.
The lining is attached to the outer fabric and all seams are sewn inside bias tape for a very pretty finish inside.
The front side has the scrappy patchwork.
The backside - well, let's just say I have a difficult time working in black & white. I had to add color. This orange was going to be inside as the lining. Then I thought, why not do some orange top-stitching, and why not add this orange fabric onto the backside too....
Inside seams all covered in bias tape. Pretty, pretty.
A couple of weekends ago (aka earlier this summer), I made some CD holders for a custom sewing job on etsy and I had these tiny scraps left over - about the time The Sewing Chick posted her tutorial.
I sewed the 2" squares together and then left them under the clapper to stay flat. I went back and finished a project!
Even if it not strictly black and white, I love how it turned out.
