ZIPPERED POUCH

The project for this pouch has been

lying around for a veeeeeeeeeeery long time.

Months maybe.

The truth is that I was intimidaded

by the zipper, since all my attempts till now

have not been very successful

(though I must say that I gave up after nr. 2).

Anyway, since I have been really

slowed in my sewing projects because

of all the techniques I don't master,

I decided that the only way I could

learn to do things was to tackle them

and keep trying until I learn it.

Sounds very logical doesn't it,

but I'm not too good at dealing

with frustrations, especially after

I have put so much work,

energy and time into it.

Well, this one turned out right.

I am very pleased with the results

and have decided to make another

something with a zipper right away

so that I feel more confident and maybe get

a bit more familiarized with the process.

This is the outcome:

PILLOW

I HAVE BEEN CAT SITTING !

The most adorable and friendly pussy cat.

And some more sewing.

This pillow is just the right size to give some back support for the long knitting hours sitting on the couch.

Just perfect!

Now I realize that it could use some embellishment, some trimming, a bias or some rick rack. Oh well, next time, next pillow.

WORK IN PROGRESS

Very slow week...

that is, for my sewing.

Knitting continues in full tempo
