A pair of ITH pencil cases. The zip is hidden under the edge of the "eraser". The larger one was made diagonally in my 200mm square hoop. The smaller one fits 130 x 180mm and can just about cope with pencils if they have been sharpened a couple of times

This saying appeared in community this morning but I can't find it now to thank the person who posted it! (Another senior moment I think.) This will be a small cushion.

Chemical coaster. I haven't had much time for sewing this week - but I've had a few ideas that I couldn't resist trying out. This is a representation of a sucrose molecule (on a CD of course.) The shadow is because the sun was shining at last!

My experiment for today. I've had this in mind for ages - I wanted to put a zip in the "fly", but the purse wouldn't have been much use. In the end I decided to hide it under the edge of the "waistband".

Chemical Cushions (for geeks like me!) These designs are stitched onto cream linen and then appliqued on to a silky tweed fabric. Now back to the other 90 or so elements still waiting to be digitised!

For my crochet hooks - a development of the wallet design I did the other day. All made in one hooping with velcro fastening. Velcro is the new zip!

2013 challenge - all fabric gleaned from my scraps drawer - design from Cute Cross Stitch. My real challenge was to take Vida and Sue's ideas and combine them into one which could be accomplished totally in the hoop - including the zip and the velcro fas

Towel hanger development. I've been tweaking this design to fit a "5x7" hoop. I think it would be a good way to use up scraps of cotton fabric from all of those fat quarters we all collect. It will be in DBC shortly.

I've climbed on the hanging towel bandwagon! I've got a thing about symmetry so I put this hanger on the side of the towel. It was made in the hoop (including attching the velcro.) It does look better than my usual method (see second picture!)

Another birthday card. I was asked if I could do the sheep mug-rug design with a satin stitch edge (the blank version is now added to the design pack in my Folksy shop.) I've added the message to this one ready for my daughters birthday. Mike was throwin

Trying out a different way to make a card. The design was stitched rather like making a coaster but when the back was added I left a gap down the spine edge so that I could slot a card blank in. I had to trim the blank to allow for the rounded corners. Th
