Bag Crocheted And Sewing Of Fabric Lining

Bag Crocheted And Sewing Of Fabric Lining

















This is a crocheted bag made several years ago to which I brought out just recently and just lined with some fat quarters fabric I had and saw that it matched just beautifully in colour.  I cut out the fabric to measure the crochet bag and attached a zipper to the fabric lining, then inserted it inside the crochet bag slipped stitched around the zipper to attach the lining with the crocheted bag.  This was my first time for actually doing the combination of both, in other words lining my crochet. 

The crochet stitches used here, if I can remember correctly are the basic single crochet in a couple of rows from a chain stitch.  Then a couple of rows of double crochet, then single and double crochet again and single crochet again.  It's been so many years that I know I didn't do from a particular pattern, I was just playing and getting warmed up to the various crochet stitches after being dormant since childhood and then putting it away, to again just bringing it out and realizing I had my sewing machine out and some fat quarters that seem to match it wonderfully.  It all seemed to come together that I am sharing it here in this blog post.  Sorry, that I can't put the exact measurements for the bag of how many chain stitches I actually started with to produce the actual size.  Since I was just playing with stitches and patterns, I didn't write the details to what I was doing back then.  Lesson learned write everything down, if you are planning to blog.  

Looks like I need to go back to bible teaches as Habakuk taught to write things down for clarity, remembering etc. 

Habakkuk 2:2
And the Lord answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.

Jewelry Pouch Made Out Of Fat Quarter Scraps


Jewelry Pouch Made Out
 Of Fat Quarter Scraps




 

Pattern Recipe.

Method

This project derived from viewing a video on Instagram and I taking the idea and trying it with less fabric then they were making, which the pattern came out slightly different then I expected, but okay.

2 pieces of fabric at 10" x 10".  Place them rights sides together.  Stitch around the circumference, but leave about a 2" area unstitched.  Turn inside out with the open 2" area unstitched.  Open up accordingly making sure all corners are pointed.  Press. 

Then on each corner make a even based triangle on each corner.  Stitch again around the circumference about 1/2" seam allowance.  Prepare a ribbon, string, cord, etc. of your choice to draw through the triangle areas of the pouch.  Draw through and cut off any extra cording more than tying into a nice size neat bow.

Recyling Of A Man's Top To A Woman's Top

Sewing 
Man's Polo Golf Shirt Turned Into  A Women's Shirt.



This shirt was made from a man's golf shirt that my son had for wearing golf which my husband had purchased during his young adult teanage years.   I came across it one day in a batch of clothes ready to go to the hamper drop off box (Salvation Army, Charity).  At the time I had my sewing machine out sewing.  So I tried my hand in transformation altering for the first time.  

I decided to do it similar to buying fabric and getting a pattern out to place on it and cut it out.  The main focus of tranformation was the neck line.  The pattern I decided to use to assist with it was Simplicity 4275 "A".   I layed it out on the shirt and cut it out accordingly.  Sewed it up from there.

I came across this top today and decided to blog and share my experience on this type of sewing on a blog posting.

Here are some of the photos.  Unfortunately, I just took these photos today and can't put my hands on the others I think I might have taken a few years ago to show the before and after.

COMING BACK SOON, I HOPE WITH SOME MORE LITTLE PROJECTS TO UPDATE
 AND KEEP THE BLOG WITH MORE CONTENT FOR BLOG VISITORS!


REFRESHING BACK TO SEWING, BEEN OUT FOR A WHILE! 
SORRY!
💗




This showing is a little quilt as you go project with some scraps of fabric with the colour scheme in mind of our Cup Match Days in Bermuda (Red and Blue;  Light Blue and Dark Blue).  The Project was started way back in July 2021.  I came across it a couple of days ago and said let me finish this, did some to complete but still have to do the binding around the edge.  I hope to get to it very soon to finish.  I have been really a little too busy outside in the yard with plants and flowers.  Out of balance between sewing and gardening.  Gardening been taking over for some reason.





My little sewing corner. ❤️
