It seems like ages ago, my cyber friend Barbara asked me to make a custom pouch for her, it's a gift for her sister.
(it really was ages ago)
Her sister has one of those cool Kindle e-books...I'm envious.
Custom orders are tricky for me, I want so much to do them, but can never get to them!
I like a challenge and the the juices started to flow today. Maybe it's because I know I'll be away for awhile and then I'll come back and be in rush around mode. Whatever the reason, I finally applied myself. I got all crazy with pennies, stitched them on, sewed up the pouch.
Made my first Bernina buttonhole....I've only had this machine for 2 years (or is it 3?).
I haven't used the buttonhole attachment yet...see, I needed a challenge....
After it was complete, I just had to eliminate most of the pennies! Look at the pile in the left corner! It was just too much!
I'm liking the simplicity. Now, I hope the Kindle fits....I hope it's not too snug.....
I'm not sure what a Kindle book is, but I like the pouch. It looks better with fewer pennies, but isn't it easy to get carried away when sewing them onto something? More is not always better. I hope you have a safe and relaxing trip and enjoy the warmer weather. I updated my blog with a giveaway if you want to check it out.

I like it with less pennies too, what a great project. I'm so glad you post about penny rugs, I'm still learning and I'm so glad I have your blog to refer to when I am stumped about something:)
ReplyDeleteHave a great time!

It turned out really nice!
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone. I hope Barbara doesn't mind that everyone sees it, possibly before she opens her email! Miz, I added the Kindle link. Yup sometimes those pennies just take over! lol!
