Things 13 and 14: Coasters

Here are 2 things, so I’m counting them as thing 13 and thing 14. They are coasters! I made them with some groovy vintage fabric scraps and a heavy-weight, double-sided fusible interfacing called fast2fuse. The extra stitching throughout the coasters makes them nice and firm. Now they will go on my coffee table.

Day 13: Fabric Flower Pin

Tonight, I used some of my favorite fabric to make a pin.  I got about 4 yards of the forest-print fabric at a garage sale a few years ago and it’s my favorite fabric find ever.  I put interfacing on the back for support, and then layered the sage green fabric on top of it.  Then I finished it of with embroidery loops in the center.  And a fastener in the back.

Day 5: Tissue Cozy

I made this tissue cozy from a pattern at www.burdastyle.com.  It was super easy to make.  I got the vintage fabric from a garage sale.

Day 3: Crochet Hook Case

This is a crochet hook case that I made out of vintage fabric. It matches the needle case I made on Day 3. It has elastic holders for all of my hooks and scissors, and three pockets for patterns, secret stuff, and cool stuff. I really haven’t figured out what to put in them, but pockets are always useful. It closes with an old button I found in my grandma’s basement.

Day 3: Nifty Needle Case

I made this needle case out of vintage fabric I found at a garage sale.  It has cotton batting on the inside to keep the needles from sticking out the back.  A really simple project, but very useful.  I’ll probably make a crochet hook case out of this fabric later.
