This zipped purse has a secret inside - a collection of useful pockets. It is made in two hoopings, (as the back is quilted as well as the front), has no raw edges inside and needs just a tiny bit of hand sewing to finish it off. Mine is made in chambr
The doggy rubbish bag - at last! He is made in one hooping (available in 3 sizes) with a tiny bit of hand sewing to finish. These bags were originally intended to be rubbish bags to hang in the car, but they have many other uses. For instance they make a
This is the I-pad case I made at Janome UK HQ on Tuesday. The project was designed to use many of the clever features of my MC15000. The problem now is that I don't have an I-pad to put in it!
Zip mania continues! This design, in 3 sizes, will be available from My Garden Embroidery Design very soon. Please may I stop now?
I couldn't resist this new set of designs from Urban Threads last week. I've used faux leather for this bag and added cute little feet to posh it up a bit.
Here is an easy zip purse with the zip along the short end. The largest size is particularly good for tablet cases. It could easily have a handle added to make it a shoulder or cross body bag. I loved watching the Greek Key design stitch out it was mesmer
Following the popularity of the easy zip purse, and quite a few requests, I decided to make a set of designs in a range of sizes including some quilting. While I was testing them, I came up with a different way of adding the fabric to get the extra touch
Yoriko asked me if any of Beaky's relatives would like a new career as a car rubbish bag so I came up with this. He is made in the hoop and comes in three sizes. This is the smallest (130 x 180) and I was very please to find that his pocket was a per
Meet Beaky Owl. Made in the hoop. Three hoopings, but still quick to make and a useful result! He comes in a range of sizes and is fully lined with no raw edges. There is a tiny bit of h and sewing. (Sorry queen of hearts!) The corduroy one is the smalles
It is a very long time since I tried to make anything as complex as this jacket - and it shows! At least I can say that the embroidery is exactly where I meant it to be! The design is the Steampunk sleeve from Urban Threads. The pin is temporary until
I was working on this design last week while I was away on holiday and I found time to test it today. I probably shouldn't have bothered because it was "one of those days". So much went wrong - however, I am quite pleased with the result for a first dr
My daughter likes yarn and sheep, so this Embroidery Library seemed almost perfect for her. If only they were crocheting not knitting!
I was looking at tfk's ITH purses with the cute little side pockets when I remembered this half completed design I was working on just after I got my big hoop. This afternoon I found time to tweak it a bit and test it to see if the engineering worked bef
I thought it was high time I played with the decorative stitches on my machine, but I had no particular use in mind. So I used the leg off some old jeans to cut the pieces to make the zipped purse currently offered free on Yoriko's site and stitched the
