Whipped these up yesterday












Okay, don't laugh when I tell you that all the time I spent making these could have been spent finishing that quilt. Some days though, it is so satisfying to finish a bunch of little things than one big thing. Anyone else agree? These, obviously, are the binder cover, checkbook covers and iPod covers that I said I wanted to make last post. I was smart this time and either made patterns or took measurements so that I can re-create them without too much trouble. The binder cover and checkbook cover are just scaled up/down versions of the paperback book covers I made recently. Same exact technique. The iPod covers are fully lined and all the raw edges are either turned in or finished. I could still tweak this one just a tad but don't know if I will as they're fine as is.

I am going to agree that sometimes it is better to get a few little things done. It keeps the fustration levels down to see the finished items. I am biased though, since I have about five or more big projects going. (A couple are ten years old.)

ohhhhh pluheeese give us an online tutorial! These are just fantastic.

And even though I'm the last person in America to own an ipod...I still have a ton of ideas for the little case.

You're so awesome.
