W.i.P Wednesday: Small Projects Progress

by Nicole

Even though I’ve only done one thing on my list for the Small Projects Sew Along, it feels good to cross something off.

  1. Sewing machine cover for partner in Modern She Made (MSM) swap (almost done)
  2. Pouch and/or sewing accessories for MSM partner
  3. Pouch for a friend for Mother’s Day (okay, so better late than never!)
  4. Cityscape wall hanging
  5. Preschool nap time mat covers 
The sewing machine cover is almost ready for binding.

I just need to clean up these threads. Definitely not my favorite pastime, but it has got to get done.

Here’s the pouch I finished up for my partner in the MSM swap.

I used Amy Butler’s Stash and Dash bags pattern. I made a patchwork version by sewing together strips for the bottom panel, using the same fabrics I used for the sewing machine cover. 
While I was at it, I made a pouch using that same pattern to carry all my sewing do-hickies and thing-a-majigs. I used some Dr. Seuss scraps I had left over from a quilt I made for my daughter.

Look who I put inside just for fun!

Now, I’m off to finish cleaning up those threads. Hopefully, I’ll have a finished cover to share with you soon.

I love your quilting on the sewing machine cover! Oh, and the Dr. Seuss fabric on the pouch! Cute, cute. I have some myself and still not sure what to make with it 🙂

If I lived down the road I'd offer to sew your ends in for you. Oddly it's a job I find enjoyable (probably because quilting feels like wrestling for me still and the ease of working with a needle and thread makes me feel competent again!!!)
