Cat and dog hand puppets - tutorial here :)
A couple of last finishes to post for March --- a tic tac toe zipper bag, which turned out very pretty, so is now residing in my gift box :) Note the (faux) Mother of Pearl zipper pull I added for fun - I got several of these at Joanns in Florida a couple of years ago - it isn't a flimsy little bobble - it's a nice substantial (for it's size) piece - I'm quite glad I grabbed it :)
Last up (oddly, Blogger won't let me left justify this paragraph - odd!) - a boxy bag to use up some fabric from a long-ago Joanns purchase - I had just enough to make 2 boxy bags once I added the black/white gingham (also from Joanns) zipper edge :D The quilting runs in the same direction as the zipper - that was a brain fart on my part, because orienting the quilting in the other direction gives the bag better shape-keeping capabilities, lol. Hopefully I'll remember to orient properly when I make the second bag :D
Happy birthday Allie - I hope your day is filled with fun, family and cake ;)
Fab creations! I bet the puppets will be s huge success!
ReplyDeleteSweet as always. Love the additional fabric in black and white with the fun blue! I'm still entertaining here--no sewing this week!
ReplyDeleteThese are wonderful! Oh the puppets are so cute!! Great job Sandra!
ReplyDeleteHugs, Mickie
An entire Old MacDonald's farm sounds just up your street Sandra!
ReplyDeleteZoomer Kitty!!!!! Awesome! Those are really darling. Really love those bags too, the addition of black and white really pops the blue!
ReplyDeleteSandra I got your card today, and laughed my fool head off - can't wait to show the boys, they'll appreciate it too, lol!!! Thank you dear heart, and for the b-day wishes!!
Thanks for the link to the puppets. Yours look great! The tic tack toe bag with the buttons is a brilliant idea and looks fabulous with the contrasting white zipper pull.
ReplyDeleteWow Sandra, these puppets are amazing and so great for a gift !! I love the tic tac toe zipper bag. It gives a lovely accent to the pouch ! Your boxy bags are wonderful as well. I tried to make some, a couple of years ago, but they weren't really 'boxy' so since, I stopped making them.
ReplyDeleteThose puppets are fab! I'm looking forward to Old MacDonald and the rest of his farm :D And I love the new bags. I didn't realise the quilting direction would affect the bag shape. Thank you for that tip :)
