Sew - in love

this was what i did over the weekend

1. unpicking a pair of toddlers' pants
2. resewing them
3. end results is still very yucky. sigh. Got to redo

This pic was taken before unpicking. Looks normal here but there are some wrong stuff done to it. :P



I moved on to do something to motivate me - a tissue cozy based on this tutorial. Happily measured and cut and sew. BUT, apparently, the size of tissue packs in not a standard around the world. The tutorial has a bigger dimension than the tissue pack here and I ended up with an accidental by-product. Hahaha.



Lovely fabric from Lecien ... <3<3<3

This is my first completed tissue cozy! and an accidental by-product - can i use it as a thumb drive pouch?

Lessons learnt -

1. always measure to double confirm. Do not follow pattern blindly. Accidental by-pdt - a pouch for your thumb drive? :p

2. Use a proper fabric pen - not just any pencil. Hope I am able to remove the lines :/

3. Use pins to do placement. Project may be small but we can't always hit and run and hope to get everything in place. *painful lesson for me

Overall, a fun project to do ... and more so, since the sewing room is up and running. Thanks to Carpenter Kwee. :)
