::Summer Visits::

June 26, 2011 By Katie

and gifting.

Family in town, no sewing, just fun.  But I’ve had some gifts building up.  Dad got a laptop cover as belated Father’s Day gift.

This is the second I’ve made.  I quite like Keyka Lou’s patterns and have a few more to try.

For my Mom and Sister-in-Law, roomy zip bags for traveling with their skivvies.

Clean:

With a lovely purple zip and this interior fabric that has been waiting for a home for a bit.  The lingerie print I adore and found on auction.  I’ll be making one for myself with it for my next travels.

Dirty:

Dark red just made sense.

Brother unfortunately has only gotten the tab for his Slurpee picked up.

I’ll find time through my students to sew this week.  I have a HST class on the books for Wednesday.

and Split Decision on Thursday.

Hope you are finding some time to sew this weekend.

    Handmade gifts are the best! Love them all, but the laptop case is my favourite, love the fabric 🙂

    You’ve been busy, Katie! That fabric for the laptop case is superb! And I wish I lived near you to take your split decision class, I adore that quilt!

    I have some of your clean skivy fabric too! Someday I’m going to make “sexy” pajama bottoms 🙂 Your laptop cover looks great and a perfect fit – did you start with a pattern or just make it up as you went along?
