Pockets to Go

Finished my sewing organiser last night. I love this pattern by Atkinson Designs. The finished size is 6 1/2" square, and 5 1/2" high.....a good size for my sewing table but portable too.

Thanks Dawnie for the the inspiration. Some parts were a bit tricky but the pattern is really well written and easy to follow.

Hope you have a great week.

Something different

I spent Anzac Day afternoon wrapping my mind around the many pieces that will become my sewing organiser. I'm using the Lynette Anderson fabric I bought at GDITC, and the pattern is by Atkinson Designs.

Halfway through construction.

I first saw this design when I met Dawnie at GDITC 2012. It has lots of pockets on the inside and zippered pockets on the outside. I am following the instructions to the absolute letter, no winging it with this one, and so far it's coming together.

Hoping to finish it this weekend. Happy stitching.

GDITC shopping

What weekend away is complete without a few purchases? I must admit I was on a bit of a mission to buy fabric.....I've been teased for having such a small stash lately.

The Cottage on the Hill had lots of fabrics to tempt, and some lovely reproductions. Lynnette Anderson's range Follow My Heart was very popular. I bought some fat quarters to make this caddy. I admired Dawnie's at GDITC last year and still haven't made it.....but now I have the fabric and the pattern so no excuses.

Some fabric for the Traditional Nine Patch swap.

Just because....and a vintage needle holder.

More just because, and a Prairie Rose layer cake.

All rather predictable choices for me, but what can I say, I love red and cream fabrics!
