The guild had our holiday party yesterday. At the party\/ Sew Day, we had a potluck, a short meeting where the new officers were installed  and a swap.<\/p>\n

The instructions for the swap was something 3D and useful. I decided to make another Mega Pinnie. I have made several<\/a> and they are fun to make and to give. I looked it up and found that I made one for another swap back in 2019<\/a>. I had forgotten about that!<\/p>\n

I looked at the several posts I have written about Mega Pinnies and was interested to see the one to which I originally linked on Instagram<\/a>. I still like the look of it (Camille Roskelly fabrics?). The hashtag<\/a> still works and links to a few different examples including the original from Today’s Quilter issue 6<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I used fat quarters from a couple of FQ packs I bought from Stash Fabrics, Color Play Tropical Tide Fat Quarter Bundle and Art Gallery Elements Seasons Fat Quarter Bundle for most of this version. I think I used a green from Summer Friday<\/a> for the bottom as well.<\/p>\n

Green Mega Pinnie – needle holder<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The needle holder turned out to be the right size, but the ribbon is a bit too long. Oh well. The person will have to tie it up or not care.<\/p>\n

I also realized at the last minute that I needed to photo copy some tools and put the copies in the pockets so people knew there was storage.<\/p>\n

The pocket under the needle holder is pretty close to the top of the Mega Pinnie. I think I will try to remember not to make it so tall. I think the pockets are better if they are closer to the middle of the MP, though I also think it is better to vary the height just so that they don’t make the seams too thick.<\/p>\n

I am not sure if I mentioned it in another post, but the top has a handle to make it easier to carry.<\/p>\n

I chose a button I had been hoarding that matches the colors of the fabric perfectly.<\/p>\n

The ribbon holding the Mini Pinnie does not match as perfectly, but I think it coordinates. <\/p>\n

I hope the person who chose it finds it useful. It was one of the last items to be chosen, so I don’t think people could see the usefulness or possibilities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
