Something Sunday 20: Pencil Case

A few weeks ago The Life of a Cupcake hosted a giveaway that I sponsored. I had one case made but I said I would make 2 additional cases of the winners choice. This week I finished the two additional cases and sent them off to the winner!

The case I had already sewn is the larger blue case (that I wrote about before) and the pencil case and wristlet are the new ones.


Because I was travelling when the winner was announced it took me almost 5 weeks to get the giveaway into the mail. In an attempt to make up for the delay, I added a little hand-made notebook to the prize.

 
It was great to have a project with a deadline this past week. I had been away from crafting for what felt like a very long time, so I'm glad to be back at it :)

Something Sunday 19: Summer Scarf

I bought some super light weight fabric when I was in India last August, and decided it was perfect summer scarf fabric. I only bought a meter, so I had to sew it with an awkward seem half way through the length of the scarf, but it isn't very noticeable once it's on.



I ended up making it longer than I intended, but this way I can wear it once or twice around my neck if I want to.


All the edges are just folded over twice and stitched up with white thread. Nice and simple! Next week I will have the cases I made for last months give-away winner to share. :)
