I haven't done any #sewing since before Christmas. My #LearnToSew class hasn't started up again (yet) so I'm feeling abit uninspired ☹ I bought a couple of scraps of fabric at the weekend so I'll try and make something with them.
My skills limit me to pouches, bags etc.

Just finished making these box pouches. I'm fairly confident with them now so I think it's time to move on and learn something else. I'm particularly pleased with the stripey one as it's made from an old napkin and I managed to get it symmetrical! 😇

Before last night's power cut, I just managed to finish the zippered make up pouch. This was the one cut from the pattern. Altogether it was very tricky to assemble and the edging/binding was the final part. I struggled! Unpicked several times, stuck pins in my fingers and got spots of blood on the piece. But I got there in the end 😂

Tonight at #LearnToSew class I nearly finished my bag/pouch from a pattern. I just need to sew the bias binding on and then it's done. My tutor helped ALOT but at least I understand the pattern terminology a little better.
(Rosey the cat approves!)

#LearnToSew with a pattern. It's just a simple zip bag but the pattern makes it seem so much harder. I hope I got the 'fold' right (I assume that meant fold the fabric under to cut 2 pieces?!). I'll cut out the pieces now to take to my #sewing class and get some help with reading the pattern.

My finished box pouch! The one with hidden seams. There's a few errors here and there but not bad for my first attempt 😍

I finished my first boxed pouch with no raw seams inside. It was a little tricky but very satisfying once finished! It's going to be a Christmas present for a friend so I hope she likes it. Photos to follow but in the meantime here is the #YouTube video I followed

I *think* I have mastered a zipped box pouch in my #LearnToSew Now I am moving on to try the same pouch but with no raw edges inside! Eek - wish me luck!

A cushion cover I finished as part of my #LearnToSew class. This one has a hidden zip which I found quite tricky to install!

I also had time in the #LearnToSew group to make a pouch/zip bag. I'm quite pleased with it but I wish I'd gone for red tabs instead the the green ones. The red would have matched the zip. Now I know how to make these I'll do afew as #Christmas gifts.

Today in my #LearnToSew group I finished off my shorts. I am quite pleased with them but next time I'll get a pattern which has pockets!

My #sewing update! Last night I managed to do buttonholes for the first time. I practised on scrap material first but of course it immediately went wrong when I tried on my actual garment! 🙈
