FNSI

Tonight I spent the time making up pillowcases from the panel that was bought last month.   After doing some measuring, re-measuring and then working out which way to cut the panel in order to get the best out of it I found that I needed to make the pieces a bit longer and a bit wider and fortunately there was some backing fabric left over from the rainbow quilt which fitted in perfectly as it was from a range called "Spot the dog".   I ended up making two pillowcases with "Skye" on both the back and the front.   Miss M can have one for home and one for here.   These were very quick to make once all the measuring and cutting was done as I used the overlocker to sew them up.



During the week I had some time to cut out more of those snap top glasses cases and all that was left to do tonight was to sew them up.   They have been added  to my "giftie" box.  


Head on over to Sugarlane Designs to see what the other 18 participants got up to during FNSI.

Back soon and in the meantime

Happy sewing all

    Your pillow cases are adorable. That is a great idea to make things for a gifty box. I end up doing things at the last minute and feel rushed. Thanks for linking up with Oh Scrap!
