On the 6th Day of Christmas.....

Here's a picture of what we have for you on the 6th day of the "Fabric-Etc's 12 Days of Christmas Quick and Easy Gift Ideas" (I've been practicing saying that out loud all day today!) It's this darling little scissor holder. Don't tell anybody, but Jan's been making some a little like this for a few of her sewing buddies. So, today she and I decided to try making some while the Gucci Bag class was going on in the back. I had "shocked and awed" that wool felt yesterday, and we were going to do it out of that. But neither one of us remembered to bring matching embroidery floss - rats! What to do? Jan had this great idea to make one out of Kansas Troubles fabric, batting, and some perle cotton we had at the shop. It is great, isn't it? Tomorrow, I'm going to remember to bring the floss and try one out of our wool felt....hers looked great made in felt.

Today, we got four bolts of gorgeous flannel, and some aged muslin from Marcus Brothers Fabrics. After the class, Jan cut that 60 degree runner out of the fun dessert fabric we got yesterday. It's on the design wall, just waiting to be sewn together!

Tomorrow, Harriet and I will continue the fun...except, I still have to clean up from some of the mess I made making room for the class. If you're in the neighborhood, pop in and take a look at our growing group of Quick and Easy Ideas. I can hardly wait to have more fun with fabric...see you soon!
