Commentary about works in progress, design & creativity
SueS asked me to make scissor cozies, as mentioned. I forgot to post about Maria’s. I made one for her before. I didn’t have the same fabric, so I picked out some coordinating fabric, so the two would go together. I am really pleased with the interior of this one. It came together very well … Continue reading “Maria’s Scissor Cozy”
I wanted to show you more of the details of the scissor cozies I made last month at the request of SueS. I wrote a little about the reasons and showed all of the cozies together in a previous post. First, I wanted Cyndi’s to match the Oslo tote I made her in a swap … Continue reading “Cyndi’s Scissor Cozy”
SueS asked me to make scissor cozies, as mentioned. I decided to make her one as well. She has done a lot of work int he past couple of months with a couple of extra projects in the works. The annoying thing was pulling fabrics, but once that was done, it was just as easy … Continue reading “SueS’s Scissor Cozy”
SueS asked me to make scissor cozies for a couple of the officers. She bought them scissors and had them engraved. The two really went above and beyond during COVID. They entered a difficult situation, before COVID, and stepped up magnificently. This is a Sotak Handmade pattern. Again, I watched a little of the video, … Continue reading “Scissor Cozies”
I made another scissor cozy the other day to give as a hostess gift. As I said when I made Maria’s and Gerre‘s, I like making these. I don’t know if they are useful, but they are kind of a unique gift and something not everyone makes. For once I remembered to quilt the piece … Continue reading “Leaf Scissor Cozy”
Back in January I made a scissor cozy for Maria. I decided, at the same time, to make one for Gerre for her birthday. I really like this project. It is pretty quick, has room for customizations (see leash) and can be made, mostly, with supplies on hand. As with Maria’s I upsized this one. … Continue reading “Gerre’s Scissor Cozy”
I got a bug in my ear to make some scissor cozies over the weekend. I’m not sure why, but I just went with it and made two. I didn’t like the way the tips came out, but I am pleased with the overall effect. I made a scissor cozy for Julie and one for … Continue reading “Scissor Cozy”
I have been thinking about the Scissor Cozies I made recently. I went on a mini-rampage flinging things out of my fabric closet and filing other things away. At the end of it, I had found an already quilted piece of fabric/ Soft & Stable left over from the Cargo Duffle. In general, it has … Continue reading “Scissor Cozies”
I finished Mom’s Scissor Cozy on November 17, but couldn’t post about it until today. I had trouble on both of the cozies with the tips. I am not sure how to remedy that except to eliminate the batting near the edges. i don’t know if that would work, but I’ll try it if I … Continue reading “Gift Post #6 2019: Mom’s Scissor Cozy”
I finally got my head around the Sotak Handmade scissor cozy tutorial. This is one I made for Julie from the same fabric I used for the pillowcase I sent along with her walker bag. Mine is a little different as it has a leash and a lobster clasp, so it can be clipped to … Continue reading “Gift #4: Julie’s Scissor Cozy”
In the process of making the scissor cozies, I realized how many of these I have made. I know it is strange to constantly be looking at the various iterations of one particular pattern, but I seem to enjoy it.Scissor cozies are quick gift to make. It is also a unique pouch, so it makes … Continue reading “All the Cozies”
As I mentioned, I made another Running with Scissors tote. As you can see, it is for my mom and made with the paint tube fabric I bought last year. It will go with the rest of the set (Poolside Tote, Persimmon Pouch, Mega Pinnie and Scissor Cozy). This version is an improvement on the … Continue reading “Arty Running with Scissors Finished”
I took advantage of the Sotak Handmade 30% off sale last weekend to buy two patterns I thought were interesting, the Petunia Pouch and the Little Pyramid Pouch. I want to make some small gifts for people at the Retreat, so I cut some fabric for the Little Pyramid Pouch out at Sew Day. I … Continue reading “Triangle Pouches”
I am so appreciative of how generous people were to me for the Christmas holidays. You saw the gifts I made. I was equally bestowed with beautiful items. I received these lovely things when we went out to our, now annual, I think, Holiday Lunch. Carrie made the scissor cozy and I have been using … Continue reading “2023 Gifts for Me”
