I just have to finish the hem and put the elastic in the waist. But this is a little pouch I made using vintage cotton and lace for detail, quite a neat pattern really as it can be unisex. <br /><br />Its a good feeling being able to make things, I suffer post traumatic stress disorder and along with it at different times depression, anxiety and so on so its nice to know I can still feel useful and make these pretty items. Blogging is fun, I really need to get into it more for my sewing blog!WhingingNinjahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16085443061407141638noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7484681725145113587.post-56753664414618333722011-02-22T18:22:00.001-08:002011-02-22T18:25:57.247-08:00shabby chic hand made book mark<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-cK1F4hip_R4/TWRwI6zaPqI/AAAAAAAABEM/H7Vn6hs8Ojc/s1600/bookmark4.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-cK1F4hip_R4/TWRwI6zaPqI/AAAAAAAABEM/H7Vn6hs8Ojc/s320/bookmark4.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5576705537117666978" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9fFd2hfRhdU/TWRwDv7c_pI/AAAAAAAABEE/1uUzpVySFQ8/s1600/bookmark3.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9fFd2hfRhdU/TWRwDv7c_pI/AAAAAAAABEE/1uUzpVySFQ8/s320/bookmark3.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5576705448299265682" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-q7_Blq-fdfs/TWRv8k1kJcI/AAAAAAAABD8/r2ed9PGm1Ag/s1600/bookmark2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-q7_Blq-fdfs/TWRv8k1kJcI/AAAAAAAABD8/r2ed9PGm1Ag/s320/bookmark2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5576705325062694338" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-3S7qB9KNdKA/TWRv2-t2_UI/AAAAAAAABD0/A27uCCIpD5k/s1600/bookmark.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-3S7qB9KNdKA/TWRv2-t2_UI/AAAAAAAABD0/A27uCCIpD5k/s320/bookmark.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5576705228930481474" /></a><br />Gosh I'm a bad sewing blogger lol I've been caught up with working on my needle felting entries for the craft fair I'm entering next week. But this is a little shabby chic book mark I worked on. I hand drew the little whistling hunch back character and sewn around it on my sewing machine. I've used scraps of maroon material, black ribbon and black felt. <br /><br />I hope you like it.WhingingNinjahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16085443061407141638noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7484681725145113587.post-39152565288394670102011-01-17T04:45:00.000-08:002011-01-17T04:48:54.937-08:00A new year for sewingOk being the new year I do hope to get some sewing done! I sadly didn't get photos of it before sending it off to my new friend Cindy of ThimblePrims she's my new penpal however hopefully she might be kind enough to send me some photos so I can show it off. A simple tissue holder which I was quite pleased with. I also sent her some needle felted animals and a little cookie I felted seeing as I can't send actual food across the waters sadly. <br /><br />I am vowing to actually stop using this blog as a storing folder! lol I must explain I am a member on a couple of avatar sites, Ruffles is actually one that I own and created. I'm a bit of an internet geek at heart. <br /><br />But avatars are little characters you can dress up and personalize in the sites online forum, shops and what not. Its like a forum but with added features so its cool. <br /><br />But projects I hope to show son <br />dolls <br />bears <br />cute crafts <br />book reviews (I'm addicted to buying books) <br />and things I've collected related to my sewing crafts lol I've actually just tidied up my sewing space so hopefully I will get back into it again. <br /><br />enough rambling next post will bring photos!WhingingNinjahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16085443061407141638noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7484681725145113587.post-59927012303159520562011-01-13T16:55:00.000-08:002011-01-13T16:56:28.499-08:00Ruffles this time<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_nZWr-TDAAmY/TS-fNQDo8FI/AAAAAAAAA4s/yNbWXCSiYPA/s1600/DapperGear-Preview.png"><img style="display:block;

I've been working on it in class for the past couple of weeks. This hat was a pattern from Sew Hip magazine, issue number 22 I believe and they called it the Lacy Trilby Hat. Still the same pattern I used however I made my own bias binding and didn't bother with putting the lace onto it. It is a bit floppier but I still think it came out rather well. <br /><br />Not the most artistic shots but not to bad haha <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_nZWr-TDAAmY/TPNGDhCvbTI/AAAAAAAAAi0/aFWhhmB2sMA/s1600/hat2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 163px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_nZWr-TDAAmY/TPNGDhCvbTI/AAAAAAAAAi0/aFWhhmB2sMA/s320/hat2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5544852592446631218" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_nZWr-TDAAmY/TPNGyaKWgzI/AAAAAAAAAi8/_jRKVY7cP1w/s1600/hat3.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 277px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_nZWr-TDAAmY/TPNGyaKWgzI/AAAAAAAAAi8/_jRKVY7cP1w/s320/hat3.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5544853398053356338" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_nZWr-TDAAmY/TPNHkgofLfI/AAAAAAAAAjE/KfWNn1dLRTo/s1600/hat4.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 254px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_nZWr-TDAAmY/TPNHkgofLfI/AAAAAAAAAjE/KfWNn1dLRTo/s320/hat4.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5544854258783825394" /></a>WhingingNinjahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16085443061407141638noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7484681725145113587.post-60842461807552261942010-06-19T17:02:00.000-07:002010-06-19T17:06:55.280-07:00my machine is cursed I swearwell I haven't been a very good blogger lately but I have a funny story to tell hopefully I can get some photos up tonight after I've finished the apron I'm trying to make.<br /><br />Now I'm not sewing alone cause I'm in a sewing class, with other beginner sewers as well which is lovely. I used to be really scared of my machine and therefor the hopeless one but after a couple of weeks of using it I think I'm finally able to say I like my machine! too bad it doesn't like me. Seriously one class the needle actually just fell out I was all 0_o how do I put it back in I said in a somewhat crazed, surprised tone. <br /><br />Teresa my tutor showed me and it just fell out because it was loose, not because it was cursed as I like to keep saying. I have a base model Janome and its meant to be a decent machine for the beginner sewer. Anyways as usual I digress... <br /><br />funny story to be told. Teresa keeps saying to me I need to invest in an iron, an iron? but this is sewing not domestic duties! well of course sewing is domestic but you know what I mean. It has heaps of uses and actually makes sewing easier! I found out if you have an iron you don't need that inter/fusable (I can't remember the right term for it) for the straps as you can just fold it the width you want and then iron it so its flat and has creases on the edges. Anyways I was shocked cause let me tell you I hadn't up until a couple of weeks ago touched an iron in say six years? <br /><br />I am somewhat domestically challenged I can admit to thatWhingingNinjahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16085443061407141638noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7484681725145113587.post-86524875475114117332010-06-11T06:28:00.000-07:002010-06-11T06:31:01.183-07:00welcome to the first post on Patch QuirkyPlease do allow me to introduce you to the point about Patch Quirky, Patch Quirky has been invented due to my learning about sewing. As I don't believe in perfectness I have created my own patch to show off my own quirky designs and creations hence the title Patch Quirky. <br /><br />You'll find me to be random, funny, hopefully showing off sewing of some form however I am a learner I'm on my L plates! I have only been sewing for about 8 weeks in a beginner class. My lovely manly creature bought me a sewing machine for Christmas and since then I've been striving to learn how to use it and not be afraid of it! since then I think my tutor thinks I'm a tad hopeless and I think that my sewing machine is cursed but I will get there...WhingingNinjahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16085443061407141638noreply@blogger.com0
