Got to believe it

They say if you keep something long enough it will be used.  A few years ago my daughter gave me a 1/2 metre of fabric she had bought from Ebay.  She said she didnt know what I could use it for but she liked it so bought it for me.

Cute isnt it.

 

Now I have used it !  This month at Sew This and That’s Sewing club we made a jacket/garment cover.  It was the perfect fabric to use.

I also had a piece of shoe fabric which I used for the lower section.

 

With the leftover piece I made a coathanger to use inside the cover.  The cover looks crooked because I needed to take it on an angle tonight.  The sides are actually the same length.  (hopefully a better pic in daylight).

It also has a hidden pocket inside, and I used another shoe fabric for it.  That means 3 pieces of fabric have left my stash, and have been used.

I hear people talking about having 2 machines going at the same time.  At the weekend I did just that.  On one machine I was making this

lace to be used in a project I am finishing at a class on Thursday. 

while at the same time I was appliquing flowers on the blocks of my second Bliss quilt. 

Here are the blocks with the first flower appliqued on. There will be 6 flowers.
