A Short Video of some Motifs/Techniques Learned in the Free Courses!
My journal is full of ideas for organizational tools, I just can't get the samples and class instructions written as fast as I want. But, it's good to be feeling "excited" again about stitching, and not as tired as I have been lately.
Here is a tote that I just finished sewing, and am working on the directions for.
It has loads of pockets, including one large one in the back that will hold a hoop, and a medium on that is large enough for a large book, large rotary cutter, and pencil/pen/crochet hook in the sectioned off parts.
The inside also has multiple pockets, as well as the sides.One side has rings to hold "clip on" items...that are not created yet, but are in my Crazy Ideas Journal so I don't forget. Wish I had enough energy and time to do all that my brain can think up!If you are interested in the Rose & Lilac Collection of organizational items, you can obtain the pattern as part of the class instruction over at Maureen's Vintage Acquisitions...just click on her link to Anytime Classes.The cost of the class is about what a sewing pattern costs these days...as I'm keeping them really affordable.They are so easy, I don't expect to be doing a lot of "work" to provide extra instructions...but, will of course if a students needs any help.Hugs!
Just wanted to share that I have a new class available at Maureen's Vintage Acquisition website. It is the first in a series that I'm calling my Rose and Lilac Collection. The entire collection will be several organizational items...for sewing, crafting, and personal use. Each will have a different embroidery design of roses and lilacs...so all together you can create a lovely collection of beautiful and functional organizational items. This first class is for a mini-wallet and checkbook cover set.
These are both super easy to embroider and to assemble. Only general knowledge of basic sewing machine skills are needed (or you could stitch by hand if you prefer). The embroidery is very basic so that beginners can create the designs with a little practice. Of course instructions are complete...and detailed.This is the first class of the series that I've completed the instructions for...but hope to have the series finished and available by the end of the fall. This mini-wallet and checkbook cover set is identical in style to what I carry every day...and love them! Except, my current ones do not have this gorgous embroidery on the front...so, guess who is now changing them out for these!Both of these items are small enough to only need scraps of fabrics to create...and the class cost is set at $15...so that anyone can join in the fun without a major cost requirement. These make great Christmas and Birthday gifts...or just do several in different colors to use yourself! They are completely washable and very durable. The class can be taken anytime, no special registration period. Full color embroidery designs are included for the wallet and the checkbook cover with step-by-step easy assembly instructions too. Hope to see you in class!
