Zipper bags and sewing machine mat...

I absolutely fell in love with this new Riley Blake hexagon fabric.  It is bright, and fun, and perfectly includes by love of EPP...way to go Riley Blake!  This week I managed to fit in some sewing and I made TWO zippered project bags--one for me and one for one of you!!  It's a giveaway...yeah!


They each measure about 12" x 12".  There is clear vinyl on the front and you can see the hexagon print on the inside.  I think it will be perfect for my EPP supplies--extra needles, paper pieces, scissors, etc.  The only difference between the two is the color of the zipper--one is lime and the other orange.  Leave a comment telling me which one you'd prefer and I'll draw a name on Wednesday, March 19th at 6pm (Las Vegas time).  I haven't been blogging much so there might only be a handful of readers/comment--you have a great chance of winning!!  LOL...


While I was at it, I made a sewing machine mat from the same fabric--I used this tutorial that I found on Pinterest from Katie's Quilting Corner.  The idea of using pre-quilted fabric was awesome, but nooooo, I had to quilt my own.  ;-)  I think I'll hit Jo-Ann today to see what they have just in case I need to make a gift for someone.  Now I have somewhere to put all my little stuff that litters my sewing table (too messy to show for the photo).

Today I am cleaning the house and doing some school work.  I have to appear for jury selection for a two week jury trial tomorrow so I need to get my "ducks in a row" at work and at home in case I'm selected.

Happy Quilting to you all...and it is 80 degrees these days in Las Vegas!  Spring!!!

  5. great little bags! a fun way to use some favorite fabric- better than hoarding it. (not that I'd ever do that. of course.) I'd love to win one. (either would be fine!) and I should get busy making a few of my own. thanks for the inspiration!

  6. Love the items you made. You do very nice work. Lime green is the best!
    I've often thought about making one of those machine mats but unless I take a machine out of the cabinets I can't use them. I enjoy seeing those that others make.

  8. It is hard to find that balance with consistent blogging and regular life. I struggle with that too. Love your bags, but no need to put me in the drawing. I really need to make the sewing machine pocket. This might be helpful since I lost my 1/4" foot last week.
