Traveling Quilting Kit...

My new fun sewing kit and traveling design board are super cute!  

I usually haul my stuff in boxes or lovely plastic bags to and from 

quilt group.  

Now have this adorable coordinated set to keep my quilting projects and 

supplies together.  

I recently won Deonn's giveaway from Quilt Scapes.  

I seriously won the JACKPOT!  

She sent me all of this adorable Sew Cherry Laminate fabric 

from Riley Blake made up into kits.

All ready to stitch up!  

Thank you Deonn!

  

Do you want to make a set too? 

Project #1

UFO to Go

This is such a great idea!  It is a portable design board and keeps your blocks 

safe and together when traveling!

Project #2

Laminate Sewing Kit
 

I love this!

It is big enough to carry all of your supplies in one place!

It reminds me of a shaving kit bag but 

oh so sweet with the cherries and red zipper!

This was quick and easy to make!

There is also a VIDEO TUTORIAL.

Project #3 

Trash Stasher

I need one of these!  

I am so excited to have this cute bag next to my sewing machine to collect 

all those pesky threads and bits of fabric.

This little bag uses laminate fabric inside and out so you can wipe it clean.

I think I need to make another one for the car.

VIDEO TUTORIAL

Three great project and tutorials!  

*Any of these projects would be great for Mother's Day!!

Thanks again Deonn!

I have two more fat quarters of Sew Cherry. 

Hmmm....Which Snippet projects should I make next?

Needle Case Tutorial

I am always loosing my little sewing supplies. 

I tend to throw them in my project box and forget where I left them.  

The worst was the other day when I reached into my purse and caught my finger on a very sharp little needle! I had placed it in a scrap piece of paper after finishing the last few stitches on a project in the car.  

Ouch!!!  

I really need a little needle case to keep my pins, needles, thread, and scissors organized.  They are quick and easy to make.  I just used scraps.  

Supplies:

Scrap Fabric or 2 fat quarters

scrap of felted wool or felt

scraps of Heavy Weight Fusible Pellon

About 1 yard of coordinating ribbon

Basic sewing supplies

Cut from your main fabric two 5 x 10 inch rectangle for the outside and lining and one 5 x 6 inch rectangle for the pocket

From the other fabric cut one 8 x 10 inch rectangle for the inside pockets

From Pellon cut one 5 x 10 inch rectangle.  Fuse it to the back side of your lining piece.  Following manufactures instructions.

Next fold your pocket in half and iron. Also fold and iron the outside of the needle case and the lining.

For the small pocket fold in half right sides together and stitch down the right side turn pocket to the right side and top stitch across the top of the small pocket and the large pocket.

Now layer the pocket on top of the lining piece and stitch down the right side of the small pocket. 

Then stitch down the center fold line.  Baste around raw edges.

Now layer the needle case front with the lining right sides together.  Stitch around the needle case leaving an opening at the bottom for turning.  Clip corners and turn right side out.

Press and top stitch.  Stitch down the center line again using your stitches on the lining and pocket as a guide.

Cut a piece of felted wool or felt in to a 4 x 7 rectangle.  Center it on the inside of your needle case.  Pin down the edges.  On the outside of the needle case stitch down the the center line on top of your other stitches.  This will attach the wool. 

Now find the center of your ribbon and place in the middle of the outside of the needle case and stitch down following your previous stitches.

Your all done!  A pretty little needle case ready for your next on the go project.  I think this little one is going in my purse.  No more needles in scrap paper!

Enjoy!
