As mentioned the other day<\/a>, Nicole over at Lillyella’s World is leading a Sew-a-long making the Undercover Maker Mat. I’ll be heading out for a few days of sewing next week, so I wanted to get a few of the fiddly bits done and lessen the amount of stuff I needed to bring.<\/p>\n

I started making the selvedege pockets. I am not sure I wanted to use selvedges, but the pockets on the sample<\/a> look really cute. I thought I would try it out. I can always cut some fabric and use that if I decide I don’t like it.<\/p>\n

I am still on the fence about selvedges. They can be pretty and fun, but I don’t see myself making a selvedge quilt or using them in a large way. Small touches, yes.<\/p>\n

For the small pocket, I tried to pick selvedges that I really liked or meant something to me. I also wanted a little bit of color. I don’t know what I will get when I sew the pocket into the whole piece.<\/p>\n

\"Undercover<\/a>

For the large pocket, I followed the directions and put the selvedges on the diagonal.<\/p>\n

Now both pockets are on the design wall and I am looking at them. I want to make sure I like them both.<\/p>\n

The other thing is the size. I think I need to make mine a little bigger, because my machine is 19 inches wide. I think it would better just slightly bigger. I am thinking about how to do that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
