Laptop Case

I just finished making myself a laptop case. All the laptop cases that they sell in stores for my size of laptop are boring and ugly. I just couldn't find one I liked, so I made myself one. I wasn't as hard as I expected it to be. I used a cute flower fabric for the outside, a heavier blue for the inside and two layers of fusible fleece for the padding. I also decided to embroider an owl, from an set of owl embroidery patterns that my mom has, and applique it on the front. My laptop fits nice and snug inside its new home!

I also made myself a matching pouch for my power cord. These pouches are really fun for me to make. they take almost no time at all to whip up. I'm gonna try to make a new batch of them tomorrow to sell. I only have one in my etsy shop now because one of them sold last week. I only hope that I will have time to sew tomorrow, seeing as it is my last day in Washington before I leave for Minnesota and college in the fall (yikes!) I am very happy with my little creations and slightly surprised that I got it all done today.

My Newest Creations

When I went to Fremont I bought this adorable tin lunchbox at the Fremont market and turned it into my embroidery box.

This comes into handy so much. I hand embroider all of my tags for my bags, so I really needed somewhere to keep all of my supplies and projects. this makes it so easy and it is nice and portable.

I spent about an entire day last week painting one of my old polo shirts. I have way too many polos in my wardrobe and figured it would spice things up a bit if I had a cute enchanted painted polo.

This is the skirt I made to wear to the Fremont market because we had been getting some really hot weather here which is very uncharacteristic of our weather here. I used a pattern that I have, but then I didn't like how it turned out so I ended up changing it quite a bit and now it doesn't look much like the pattern, but I think I like it better this way.

Then I felt like making another so I made this one, I didn't use a pattern for this one, I kinda just winged it.
