…are one of my guilty pleasures. I have so many of them that I think are so pretty. Most of the time I don’t even want to use the fabric for any project because I don’t want to cut it up. Because, you know, you’ll never ever find that fabric the fat quarter came from ever again.

But I sucked it up and cut a small square from one to make a sleeve for a new super shiny hard-drive.

The case was just too shiny and finger-print prone to not cover it up. Plus I just love the fabric. And my boyfriend has the exact same one so we needed some way to tell them apart.

The ‘sewing herself to pieces’ sewer

A while back, I made a new shoulder bag (I refuse to call it a purse and it annoys me every time the bf calls it that):

This was not an original. I got the pattern from JCaroline. However, the detail on the strap was my own imagining.

And a little less while back, I made a padded sleeve for my new mini netbook:

This was sort of taken from Amy a la mode, but not 100%. Lined with flannel. My first time ever quilting, too!

Until next time,
the Cantankerous Crafter

My friend said she was getting a Nook for Christmas, so I made her this sleeve out of some really neat red fabric and black felt. The fabric I found at the new ‘Fabric Place’ (Sew-fisticated). It’s a red base with roses sewn into it that you can only see at a certain angle.

My first bag was starting to fall apart. The strap was not built as sturdy as it should have been, so I built a new bag.
