My sewing groove is back! and I had lost faith completely for 2010. Yesterday was terrific sewing wise, Finn was at daycare which allowed me hours of uninterrupted crafting resulting in this:
What is it? well, it's my new Sewing Republic pattern to be and it's a case for your make-up brushes. The inside looks like this:
It protects your brushes well while traveling because it's very stiffly interfaced and you can customize the slots to hold what you need. I have to send this one to Bernina which makes me very sad. BUT, was I complaining about the bad fabric choices yesterday? I found this new Denise Schmidt line called Hope Valley via Mmmcraft and mama mia! the stuff is great. I need to get my hands on some to make one of the above pronto.
aw - sew cute. Am loving that hope valley too.

I LOVE that fabric! I made a completely hilarious apron out of it, which my children call "The Stepford Wife apron." You can see it here: http://melyndahuskey.wordpress.com/2008/05/26/not-stepford-just-active/
The scraps have come in handy for a million little pincushions, fabric balls, yo-yos . . . you name it. I wish now I'd gotten several more yards.

What a great idea! I usually just end up throwing my makeup brushes in a cloth pencil case, but this would be even better!
I do love the combo of the flowered print with the polka dots, it's very fun and lively!

So glad you have your groove back! I heard we ordered some Denise Schmidt fabrics for Whimsy but I have no idea when they will be coming in. Hopefully soon. :D

Cute! It almost makes me wish that I had make up brushes. Hmm. How pathetic is it that I am in my 30s and still have no idea about all that make-up stuff?
