I decided to break up a few of these posts from my audiobooks. These are the latest craft I've done while listening to said audiobooks. :)
This is a pouch I made for my dad for his sunnies. The pattern is called The Tulip Zipper Case by CloBird Designs. The pattern is FREE and can be obtained at Craftsy (HERE). It is considered a novice level project and I would agree. You might make a few things with zippers first if you are intimidated with them, but really, it was quite easy. The hardest part was placing the blue zip head onto the orange zipper base (you don't have to mix and match but that is part of the fun in this project). Once that was on, it was smooth sailing. The directions are easy to follow and it is a good scrap buster. The pattern calls for foam interfacing but I did this one with thermolam (fleece) interfacing instead and it worked out fine. My dad loves pockets so this one was perfect for him and not only did he have the main zip pocket but the pockets on the front and back as well (blue part). All I have left to say is GO BRONCOS! :D
So any crafty things you've done lately? *crafty eyes*
How cute! Okay, now I'm thinking of making this and somehow incorporate my rally cross racing for my son.
ReplyDeleteOh that would be so cool! I know there is racing fabric out there.
DeleteIt's nice! good job!
ReplyDeleteAww, this is so cute! Wow, I'm so impressed by your artistic talent and your creativity! I would have never even thought up something like this! Thanks for sharing, Melissa! :)
ReplyDeleteAw thanks! Not my pattern so I hesitate to take that much credit. ;) LOL
DeleteI am horrible at crafts, just plain horrible. I don't have the patience to do things with my hands that require concentration and precision. I admire anyone who can, though! Can't wait to see more of these posts.
ReplyDeleteYou just need the right craft... if that is what you want to do. :) Plus, I have a sewist in the family I can come to when I'm confuddled. :)
DeleteI can't sew to save my life. Lol. Great job! I guess your dad and I are at odds when it comes to football teams. I loathe the Broncos! Lol. #GoChargers!
ReplyDeleteWe are both at odds... ;) LOL #GoBroncos! :D
DeleteLoving your latest project even if I'm not convinced by it being a 'novice' level project.
ReplyDeleteAs long as you aren't intimidated by zippers, it actually IS a novice project. :)
DeleteOh this looks awesome! I have a lame glasses case. I like the design of this one!
ReplyDeleteOh I have a few patterns I can show you (free even) if you want to try one. :)
DeleteYou should definitely join craft shows and bazaars, you have the talent for it!
ReplyDeleteNot my thing, but thanks for the compliment.
DeleteAwesome!
ReplyDeleteThanks! :)
DeleteVery nicely done! What is it used for?
ReplyDeleteThis one is for my dad's sunglasses. :) They have other sizes (pencil size, passport size, and this one).
DeleteAhh and now sunnies makes sense. lol I was going hmmm is this a sports thing I don't know about? Ha!
DeleteROFL! I kept hearing sunnies and I started adopting the nomenclature. :) Does that make me easily influenced? LOL
DeleteThis is a nice little pouch. I really like that. Though... I wouldn't go for Broncos. ;) lol.
ReplyDeleteYou know you want to root for them... *hypnotic stare* ;)
DeleteThat's so cute! I wish I could sew, haha.
ReplyDeleteAll you need is a sewing machine... I'm not even going to go into sewing by hand... *shivers* lol
DeleteAdorable!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm not too crafty but I'm int he process of reorganizing my craft-ish room so maybe it will motivate me. I would really like to make something out of all my old arc's.
