Recently I have been on a mission to sew non-quilt
items. I finished 2 more pet beds filled
with scrap fabric and batting.
These
were donated to a local shelter called Pets Inc. Thanks to friends who donate scraps to help
fill them.
I was describing
ways to use fabric scraps and mentioned fabric bowls. I am no way an expert. I have made 2 but given them away so I decided
to make another so I would have one to show.
I use strips about ¾” wide and wrap cotton clothesline.
Then you start shaping the bottom of the bowl
and zigzag together.
As it grows, you
lift the bowl to make the sides.
Here it is finished.
I spent Sunday afternoon
sewing knit dresses for granddaughters.
The easy pattern is Simplicity 1435.
I also made a cute skort (shorts attached under a skirt). The pattern is from Children’s Corner.
I need some new clothes but sewing for myself is not a priority or as much fun.
