Patchy Patch

Currently, one of Aidan's favorite shows is Toopy and Binoo. And he loves the character Patchy Patch. He wanted a Patchy Patch stuffy for Christmas but I looked into it and it was $30!!! Yikes!



So I broke out my sewing machine and all my colored felt fabrics. Aidan and I sat down and made a Patchy Patch. Aidan told told me what colors we needed and he cut and I sewed. This was a really fun project! Aidan told me he had a good time :o)

Check it out!

More sewing

I made another Ereader cover my cousin. We did some brain storming and came up with the idea of Totoro. From the Japanese animation "my neighbor Totoro". We're both fans. So I got to work.

Totoro




And my Ereader version.



Some challenging areas were the tummy area with the small cut outs and I had to sew them on by hand. It was a little too small for my sewing machine.

All-in-all, I was pretty pleased with the turn out. Hope my cuz still likes it.

Crafty Stuff

I've been hard at work lately working on some e-reader covers. It seems like a hot item lately. I've mostly been working on Kobo touch covers. And I have to admit, it's pretty cool. It's much smaller and lighter than my kindle. And I have to say, I'm tempted but can't be justified in getting yet another e-reader. Ah, technology. It's a love-hate relationship I have with you. Here are some my creations.

Red hot sleeve with a flower sewn on.



Owl for my friend C. Turned out better than I had expected.




Backside of the owl



And for my Dane friend, A, who is living in the DK but is a true Canadian at heart - a Canadian Flag! Again, this worked out better than I had expected.




Inside lined with the super soft minky fabric to protect the screen.




You know A, if I was really thinking I should have put a Danish flag on the other side of the cover.

Tea Cozy!

Got a new tea pot so I needed to make a new tea cozy for my new tea pot. Nathan came up with the great idea of an Angry Bird one. So to work I went and worked on my new project. Final product below. Pretty happy with the results
