When I am feeling green

The weather was cold last Sunday and I just needed to do something while sitting and watching my weekends drama.

So I picked up embroidery threads and start doodling. Embroidery is therapeutic :) 

This "wish you luck" mug rug will be a great gift for someone who has to stay up late studying or working on a project! 

And my second green project was this iPad sleeves. I used to wonder why one need gadget sleeves if you already have smart cover? Well, you know what..you need a sleeve for your gadget! Cos when you put it inside your purse the smart cover tends to flip. 

And if you are frequent flyer, you definitely need one to protect your gadget during the security check. 

This one featured warli art print. warli art is very popular in India. It depicts the everyday life of adivasis tribe in India. 

So why not grab one for your self. I have several style listed in my Etsy Shop and it's customized friendly. Or if you want to make one yourself, you can always get the Warli Fabrics from my Fabric Shop

Today, it's still gloomy here

I hope you have a cheery weather ^^

Thanks for stopping by

Happy Sewing

Shabby Chic love

I always love shabby chic style

with soft pastel colors and ribbons

After making my iPad sleeve, I was in the mood of making another one with pastel colors and maybe a little handle, which you can carry around and can fit in your iPad with smart cover, wallet and an iPhone

and here it is: 

I used fleece and as batting. Fleece is nice to quilt since it doesn't move, so for small projects I don't need to pin them

again I quilted it with my fave decorative stitch

this time I lengthen the stitch a little bit

The grey fabric was from my fave Bombay dyeing. It's linen cotton for men's shirt. 

It's difficult to get a linen here, so when I see one I pick up. Though it's a bit expensive but it's worth it

the back side is plain grey and I love how the quilting turned out

simplicity is always the best, imho ^_^

This bag is listed in my Etsy Shop and is ready to ship

Until then,

I need a new iPad sleeve

I was cutting off jelly rolls for the shop and looking at my design wall. I made this test block a couple days ago and just put it up in my design wall

I was thinking of making mug rug with it. But then, I need an iPad sleeve. My iPad has a smart cover but it's tearing off and it's not even 6 months old =,=.

I bought it in Changi Airport for $35 >,<

So, I put my jellyrolls away and start working on it and after an hour my iPad has a new sleeve. Yay!

It fits snugly and I love the grey combination . Quilted using my favorite stitch. 

I used double batting - outer and lining to give more protection.

I still have the fabrics and I think I'll put it up in my shop for custom order.

I realize one thing:  I love working on patchwork with small squares 2.5" - 3" and HST from charm piece

Ah, I still have few WIPs that I plan to finish before the end of this month {IF I'm not distracted} . One of them is this placemat.It will be a set of 4 and I almost finish with the quilting.

and this pink bunny n cat wallet for my SIL's niece

and here's the sneak peek of the jellyrolls 

With one family wedding coming up and the little R has his monthly assessment, I hope I can finish at least those two.

Until then

Happy Quilting
