Boro Sashiko Mini Notepad Holders

Just completed sewing these mini Boro Sashiko style notepad holders. They measure 3.5" x 5" and conveniently hold mini composition booklets that measure 3.25" x 4.5".  

 

The inside is lined and stitched as well.

Fabrics I used are from the Yukata Collection by Debbie Maddy for Moda Fabrics.

 Cute! Cute! Cute!

Zippy Pouches!

Obsessed with lined Zip Pouches lately! Here are a few of the ones I've sewn. The one on the left I used a Japanese Sevenberry Boro patchwork print in Indigo. It's lined with Japanese cotton dobby fabric with Morikiku arrows in a faded brick. I did a bit of sashiko stitching on it as well.

The one below was a lovely floral cotton print with a coordinating crackle pattern for the lining.

Macrame

A few macrame projects I enjoyed working on.The feather technique I learned from the 'Macrame School' on YouTube as well as how to construct the owl. The other was just a free form project from a kit that was interesting.

Lovely Beginning to a New Year

Round Drawstring Pouch

Easy quick little sewing project! Happened upon a tutorial for this round drawstring pouch on a channel called "Tendersmile Handmade". I used one of Anna Graham's (Robert Kaufman) cotton blend fabrics from her collection "Around the Bend" for the lining.

 

                Sweet Little Pouch!

           Great size for gift cards!

The Ginkgo Tree

The  Ginkgo Tree in our front yard...

  The Ginkgo Tree represents peace, hope, vitality, strength and endurance.  

Wearing it can bring stillness, contemplation, and enlightenment into your life. It is a symbol of resilience, healing and longevity.
