wordless wednesday: simply sew

As you may have noticed I’ve been laying low. I haven’t been feeling 100% and while I’m keeping up with orders, etc I’m taking a bit more time for myself but also figuring out the direction WSC will be taking in the next few months. I have a few things in the works such as a new shop, new site and a few craft fairs I’m already accepted too. I decided this weekend though I would dedicate my time to completing some outstanding sewing projects I went fabric shopping for months ago.

For wordless wednesday I thought I’d share my new “hideously offensive” PJ bottoms (as K puts it due to the colours). I got the pattern from my “Weekend Sewing” book and they are super comfy, I’m actually wearing them now! haha.

I also made myself a wallet, which I really needed. I have a nice wallet-purse my mother-in-law gave me but it doesn’t have any card slots so it was always a disaster. This is my second attempt at a wallet, my first did not turn out so well, and I got the pattern from Very Purple Person. I made a few adjustments and combined a few of the steps though. I also forgot to use a piece with interfacing in it for part of the zippered pouch so the wallet isn’t as stiff as I’d like but I might just iron some on the inside anyways as no one will be looking in there anyways.

I also made one of two baby-related gifts we’re giving K’s friends but I don’t want to show off any of those gifts until after the baby shower

I have a couple more projects to tackle in the coming weeks and I’ll share them when I’m done! One of them is a new case to carry all my diabetic supplies. I made a prototype for myself a while back for my insulin and needles, but I’m going to try and make one that will also fit my meter so I’m not having to carry two cases around.
