\"Sew<\/a>

We had a fun Super Sew Day over the July Fourth holiday. We  held it on Friday and Saturday so it was double the fun.<\/p>\n

I went with a bag of small pieces of Soft and Stable that had been annoying me. My goal was to make them into larger usable pieces, Frankenfoam. I used Frankenfoam in the Palomino Pouch project<\/a> and didn’t get any reports of problems. I cover the outside with some SF101\/ProFuse to smooth out the bumps a little.  I think for small projects, or those with a lot of seams, Frankenfoam works well.<\/p>\n

I started out sewing like sized pieces together.  By the end of Friday, I was less careful about ‘wasting’ foam.  I ended up with two pieces about 4 feet tall and 2 feet wide. I estimate I got the approximate size of one package of ByAnnie Soft & Stable. It was a good project to do when people were asking me a million questions. It was easy to stop and start without losing my place or having to figure out the directions again. <\/p>\n

I really could have done more, but I decided I didn’t need an absolutely square piece to use it.<\/p>\n

As a result, on Saturday, I cut up one of those pieces and make the exterior of the Mindalin tool roll. This pattern can be found in Make Modern issue 70<\/a>. The pattern calls for foundation pieced blocks to make the outside, but I decided to use selvedges to make the exterior. It looks really cool, IMO.<\/p>\n

The last thing I made with selvedges was the Sleeping Bag pouch<\/a>. I want to make another one, but haven’t gotten to it yet. I seem to have a never ending supply of selvedges, so I wasn’t worried about using up the ones I had collected.<\/p>\n

A lot of people were making the Everything But the Machine Tote<\/a>. The guild may have a sew-a-long for this bag as it is very useful. It has drawers inside to hold your travel sewing supplies.<\/p>\n

The front provides a great way to showcase a special patch, embroidery or fussy cutting. <\/p>\n
