Post 91- like a woman possessed

Hiya, This post may give rise to the thought that I have been lazing about with my week off work doing nothing but sewing...... Actually I slept most of the week and am about to fill the repeat prescription on the anitbiotics...GRRRR.....but have lots to show from the week before as well - so strap yourselves in .


These are the finished Murphy cushions that I made for Annie's Girls night in which was last night - it was a great night with lots of fun and prizes.


This is Winnie


She's a very tidy little monkey - I told her to pack up so we could go to Annie's



and off we went - Winnie and her accoutrement's were won by one of Annie's craft friends and I'm told will be well loved a by a little girl.



This is something new I have been fiddling with- pencil cases / cosmetic bags ???

This one was initially for the nephew but have been told it is waaaayyyyy to babyish so I think it will become part of my 100th post giveaway (see title). This one is made with quite thin vinyl stuff.


So then I got some thicker vinyl stuff (zephyr vinyl from Spotlight) and broke 3 needles on this one.



I decide on a mix of the thick and thin and also to make one with a purpose - this one is for 12yr old neice.


Then came the miracle pencil case.


With legs like that its miracle this kid can walk, let alone skip -


anyone in the market for a wonky legged pencil case? or a tutorial on these? They are seriously easy and I am making more so I can tute them if you want.

  1. very cute pencil case.

    Love the skipping girl - may be one of her legs is connected to her shadow.

    I don't know - anyway, a tutorial to sew with that vinyl would be wonderful - I haven't had a chance to try it.

    Love your Murphy cushions.

  2. Hi Jodie,
    Of course we'd love a tutorial! They're fantastic - I've never sewed with vinyl, so it would be a good experience! Love the Murphy cushions and the monkey package is delightful.

  3. Hi Jodie,
    Very clever as always.
    I would love to see a tutorial on the pencil cases, did you make the bag Winnie is sitting in? if so a tutorial in that would also be great. Cheers Christine

    I'd love the tutorial for the pencil cases but I don't think I'll use vinyl.

  8. Hi Jodie,
    Love all... Winnie is gorgeous and her bag and blanket are great. The little girl is very lucky and she is going to love it to its. I still scared of vinyl and slippery fabrics and the such but would you mind if I have a tutorial also. I try anything once when I get a chance!

  18. lol at the skipping girls legs! I think if I tried she'd have stumps for legs, so you should be very proud of her!!!!
    The monkey is gorgeous, and the far too babyish pencil is not too babyish for me - but then I am a big baby at heart!!!
