Dette er et søtt teppe, og i dag har jeg gjort klart til stitching og applikering. Denne gangen har jeg husket stitcheryvatt på baksiden, og skal bruke DMC tråd. For dette skal bli fint!

This is such a cute quilt, and today I made preparations for stitching and applique. This time I remembered to use stitcherywadding on the back, and will sew with DMC thread. I want this to look great!

Dagens oppgave var faktisk en bestilling. En gammel skinnjakke ble slaktet i fjor, og jeg sydde da et futteral til Smartphonen til Darlingen. Litt modifikasjoner var ønsket, og i dag sydde jeg et nytt. Litt uvant å sy med skinn, men egentlig ganske så morsomt.

Today I had an order to make. Last year I slaughtered an old leather coat, and made a case for Mr. Darling's Smartphone. He wanted a few changes, so today I made him a new one. I am not used to work with leather, but it was really quite fun.

Resultatet ble ikke så aller verst, om jeg skal si det selv :-) Ikke noe pynt eller fjas, men helt enkel.

The result was rather nice, if I could say so :-). No embellishment or such, but very plain.

På baksiden er det en hempe slik at det kan festes på beltet. Telefonen er ganske stor, så derfor er futteralet sydd horisontalt.

On the back I made a loop so that it can be fastened to a belt. The Smartphone is rather large, so the case is made horizontally.

På slutten av dagen (det har ikke akkurat vært ute-vær...) fant jeg ut at jeg skulle rydde litt i restekurven. Det var det jo bare rot! Jeg har kuttet opp i strimler i ulike bredder, og holdt på en god stund. Syntes jeg helt til jeg så at det omtrent ikke syntes i kurven :-(. Men nå har jeg startet, og får bare bli ferdig med dette. Et eller annet skal dette kunne brukes til!

At the end of the day (it has been great indoor-weather) I decided to clear out my scrap basket. It was really just a mess! I have been cutting strips in differnt sizes, and work for quite a while. So I thought until I discovered I had barely made a dent in the pile :-(. But now I have started, and will have to finish this also. It can be used in some project or other!

  3. Well done sorting out your scrap pile. I went through mine to make 2" squares to go with the Fairy stitcheries. Your smart phone bag is very smart. Have fun with your Lynette lap quilt.

    Well done for all your Tour achievements.
