Sunglass Case





Quilted Sunglass Case. I always have a hard time trying to find a case that will fit my "BIG" sunglasses, so I decided to make one. I used a pink cotton fabric for the outside. Then I lined it with some batting and gave it that cute quilted look. I then lined the inside with a terry-cloth fabric that would be smooth on the lenses of my sunglasses. I used a cute pink ribbon to line the edge and added a little loop with a circle bead to give it a little extra flair.

Patchwork Purse





I made this bag out of two pairs of old corduroy pants and a men's dress shirt. I cut the patches into 4" x 4" squares. The strap is made from the side seams of the pants, I just braided the two different colors together and attached them to the sides of the bag. I made this for a friend of mine who donated the fabric to me. I Love these colors together!

Patchwork Circle Skirt #2




This is my most recent creation. A tiered patchwork circle skirt. It consists of over 300 patches that measure 6"x 6". The total length of the skirt is 42". I used brown, white, cream, tan and orange fabrics. I used elastic in the waist, which was much easier than putting in a zipper or making a tied waistband. This is my favorite skirt so far and it only took me 1 week to make it.
