Box bags galore

Birthday Wishes Leah was collecting handmade items for a fundraiser so I sent a box of box bags and a few smaller cosmetic/what-not bags her way.  I suggested that she keep some of the bags for her five children family and donate the rest.

Bags for crayons, markers, pencils, pens…

Reversible cover-up

My old sewing machine has found a new home with my brother.  There was nothing wrong with it but “someone” just wanted a different one with a few more bells and whistles.  I’m not sure what he’ll use it for but that’s alright with me.  He needs it so he can have it.

D-Machine73.

A follow-up package is going, too.

D-Cover67

A cover.

D-Cover74

Not just any cover.

D-Cover76

 

But a reversible cover.

D-Cover77

Made from some leftover pre-quilted fabric.  Win-win.

Another cover-up

A dust cover would be more like it.

Now that I’m semi-retired (I went back to work two days a week. Shhh.) access to a copier is very limited. I don’t know about you but I prefer to have my knitting patterns stay flat as opposed to being curved in a book that likes to close. Anyway, we needed a copier at home. And a scanner. And one that does both. In color. And maybe a fax. Just because. But not necessary. And it had to be laser for crisp, clear print.

Ta-da!

Cover-1

Naked printer-copier-scanner-fax.

Cover-1.5

No tutorial because every printer-copier-scanner-fax is a different size.

Fabric from my stash and fusible fleece.

Cover-2

Quilted in a grid.  Just followed the print on the fabric. Muslin lining. (It must have been in my stash a l-o-n-g time as it was only 36 inches wide!)

Cover-3

Sewed up the side seams. Added my label.

Cover-5

A cover-up.
