Obsessions and Confessions

I am obsessed. An intervention is required. Not only do I spend all my free time sewing, the rest of the time is spent thinking about what projects I can do. Here are some of the latest offerings.

 The bib and burp cloth sets (with terry cloth backing) have turned out nicer than expected. Will let H have a look and see what she thinks. Reckon it'll do well. Only fear is that they don't hold up well to rough use.

The note book cover given to Es. Excuse the pics, taken on iPhone.

 S's birthday gifts. The eye pad was made out of scraps from the Hope Valley collection. Not a terribly good photo, had to leave in the zip lock in an attempt to prolong the lavender scent from the organic Chamomile / Lavender tea bag mix which I used together with the green beans. I can imagine what will happen if it gets wet!
 Finally the prodigal iPad case. Gave me lots of heartache, this one did. Screwed up the velcro with the hot iron (had to hand stitch another one on top), then the flannel lining started to stretch, forgot to add the tag and D ring..... sigh. To be fair, I don't actually have an iPAD and was basing the entire calculations on the specs on the Apple website, Fingers crossed.

Love the eye pad (har har) and the iPad cover! Had no idea that it caused you so much pain!
