Apron and matching towel

I love this reversible apron and made a towel to match.  It was the first time to use the flower design and I put it a little too high on the towel.

Christmas apron

A modern twist on the Christmas apron.  It turned out so cute I'm not sure I am going to be able to give this one away.

Eyeglass cases

 And for the fourth item of the travel set - eyeglass cases.  These coordinate with the laundry, lingerie, and charger cord bags.  I used a layer of batting between all layers.

Mad Hatter pin cushion

This is the second project we did at the sewing Christmas party last weekend.  While the others in the group used wild colors and ribbons, I used sewing themed fabrics that I love.  It turned out pretty cute.  Note to self:  Since this pin cushion is so tall, only use large head pins and no needles.

Christmas towels

Got the embroidery machine out again.  These towels coordinate with the a couple of the aprons I made and will also work as hostess gifts for some parties left to attend.

Sewing chatelaine

My annual Christmas sewing party with friends was last weekend and we made two projects.  This is the first project - a chatelaine (I hope I spelled this correct) to put around your neck while sewing.  You can see that I have a pin cushion, place to attach scissors, hold my stylus and seam ripper.  We each received some of the tape measure fabric and the felt yet each of our chatelaines turned out quite different.

Travel bags for charging cords

I am still working on the travel accessories for my co-worker gifts.  These bags are half fabric and half clear vinyl and are meant to hold charger cords for phones and iPads.  I used an in-the-hoop design from Anita Gooddesign for these and they went together pretty quick.
