Sewing Project #7

Saturday was the 30th birthday of my husband's best mate who is a drummer in Belfast. I decided to make him a roll-up case for his drumsticks using this tutorial.

It was pretty straight forward. The only thing is that I would add a handle to the top so that when its open it can be hung from a drum. I used two different fabrics from Ikea that were the manliest I could find (it really isn't easy to find cool fabric for guys!).

I think I'm going to make one for my knitting needles.

Sewing Project #6

I worked with oil cloth for the first time and it was a bit troublesome with my presser foot. Once I put on some masking tape it worked much better. I used the tutorial from Prudent Baby. It didn't seem to come out the same as in the tutorial pictures so I think I must have miscalculated somewhere, but I'm happy with the outcome as it is a birthday present for someone.
