Pillowcases!

[eldritch_panda]

I made my FIL and youngest BIL a pillowcase for Christmas.



It isn't a big project, nor impressive I know. However, I'm a first-timer with no family background, so I'm still proud of myself. I used what the 'burrito' method, as my sewing teacher called it, though I've also seen it referred to online as 'hotdog'.

That is my little $100 sewing machine that I'm practicing on until I'm ready to get a better machine.

I like the small green border you added!

All a quilt is, is a pillowcase sewn together ;)

...for real, I just moved this month and am trying to *find* the sewing materials in unopened boxes and bags and a place to put them, and then I have fantasies of making everything in the world...I'll let you know!

Everytime we move the first thing packed is my sewing room, and the first thing unpacked is my sewing room ;)

...in my house, it's the cats who get packed and unpacked first, and the half-feral one bit me to the bone in three fingers while getting put in the case, and so I was unable to use my hands for much for weeks: hospital, infection, blood poisoning, whatever...so that slowed me way the heck down...I am hoping to get back in the swing of it soon though, and have even started to get a little something going as far as unpacking goes...

I hear ya! We didn't move as recently as you, but we just reshuffled everything in the upstairs - where my sewing & craft area is. And our upstairs is currently unheated, which means that it takes a real effort to go up there! (I live in Minnesota; unheated is no joke in winter.)

Hopefully I'll manage to arrange heat soon so that I can do some sewing.
