Coaster!

I couldn't sleep so I made a coaster
I got the pattern from HERE.
It took a total of like 20 min.
I think the hardest part was not knowing what fabrics to use or if I should try to match them.
Here is the top.
Top with a glass on it.
The bottom.
That's it not much to see but it was great
and if I ever need it for a wine glass I am prepared. lol

Car Visor

I made one for my mom and one for me. Mine seems a bit smaller than I planned. But I still like it I just have to make it bigger to start next time.
Mine has a pocket on the right side. My pocket goes upright. The top "pencil pocket" on the left is bigger then the rest but I haven't figured out what to put there yet. I don't need a glasses pocket so I made it smaller. (Yes I had a tire gauge and crochet hook handy to put in there, you 'know' you need both!) My moms has a glasses pocket at the top left, and a big pocket on the right. I made my moms pocket go side ways and have a flap closure. (Again I had these things in my kitchen handy to put in there for the pic)

Tutorial Tuesday

Sewing Machine Cover

I started with a yard of material.

1. measure your fattest parts of your sewing machine.
mine measured 13"high 16" wide 6" deep (until I finished it and realized my removable arm wasn't on and its 8" oh well)

2. fold it in half and cut a piece (using the fold)15" by 23"
keep the fold on the bottom and cut the side the 23" and the top 15" you get a piece 23" by 30"
keeping it folded sew the sides together right sides facing.

3. Then lay it back out. Cut the folded side corners 3" on each side like this.
4. Then pull the straight edges together and sew like this.5. Then fold the bottom over to hem it. I folded it and didn't like the raw edge on the inside so I folded it twice and sewed all the way around. That's it you have a perfectly boring cover. :)

6. I thought it was too boring so I bought a gathering foot and made some flowers to sew on to it. I just used the gathering foot on a leftover 1 in strip and twisted it. and then hand sewed it on.
But at least its not boring anymore. :)
