Sewing and back to school

Last week was back to school so to make it more fun i've been sewing.
I made this pencil case for Dudette.

And one for me. I found this material in spotlight an sale so had to have it. It reminds me of something out of the 70's.

I'm doing five subjects for my finale year of school so instead of covering my books with paper i chose fabric. The first few gave me some trouble but on the last three i found the secret and could make one in 15 minutes. The best thing about them is that they can be reused or be made in to something else.

This year i'm learning to sew useing a pattern. For my first try i've been making some soft toys.


I've also had my earrings sitting on my shelves in a huge mess for months. I did this because i saw i storage method on better homes and gardens months ago. I've been looking for a nice picture frame and finally found this one for 3 dollars. I removed the glass and added some wire. Although it does not hold my stud earrings I'm able to hang all my other earrings on it. It looks great on the wall and because i can see them i wear them more.

Till next time MnM : )
