I would like to give a big ole virtual hug to all the lovely ladies who have been visiting from the Freckled Nest. *Muah* Thank you for the comment <3!
I finished the next project for Home Ec the other day and the number one thing I learned was . . . . wait for it. Waaaaait for it. Following directions. Ding-ding-ding.
I re-did this project twice with completely different fabric.
Then, I decided it was ugly, had a drink and ripped up a pillow. There were feathers everywhere. *snort* My apologies. I couldn’t resist.
In all serious though, I did rip up a pillow. I used the slipcover I had made about five years ago for the back side of this project. I like it now. It’s kinda sassy.
* I would like to thank St*rbucks for creating the product VIA. You saved this sewing project. xoxo
** The pillow has still not recovered.
looks kind of wild to me!

Here is the problem I have. I would make a cute supplies roll up and I would have zero supplies to put in it. However, I am sure I also would have ripped up some things and at the feeling of finally finishing it I would have to go out and buy supplies that I would never use to put in it, just because I made it. Yours is fabulous.

Can I give your daughter my roll-up too? I don’t have any kids. That I know of. Just kidding, that’s gross to joke about.

Nice and sassy– like you! I made the gift bag last night. Next up is the reusable tote thingy. I’m going to let the boys pick out their fabric to use them as personal library book bags. For the rollup, I’m going to see if I can modify it to hold some sewing tools instead. I much prefer my paintbrushes to be kept in a jar.
Via is da bomb!

Ha! It’s good to hear someone else had some issues with the roll-up. Though, I have to say, yours turned out awesome! (Feel sorry for the pillow, though. At least it’s gone to a better place!) -emily

Visiting from Freckled Nest…your shop is so great! I am in love with all those ruffles!
Re: Sewing project. Starbucks VIA has saved my sanity many a time as well! HA!

Ohhh my, that’s very sassy and cute as a button! Following directions is not my strong suit. I’m not sure why, but it sure would make life easier if I learned how to actually read them and then follow them. I’m such a short-cutter. And that explains a lot.
