Second post in three days! And after a crazy day at work, too! Ha, aren’t you proud of me? *g*

So without further ado: I made a dozen tissue cases as little gifts for friends, family and colleagues (not necessarily in that order). Of course, I didn’t take any photos of the first 6, because I am a bad blogger. A shame, really, because my favourite was among those. But the rest turned out nice as well, I believe. Well, save for the off-white one with the blue flowers. I knew the blue writing on the fusible interfacing would probably shine through, but it was the last piece I had. So I kept that one for myself. Each tissue case has a contrasting lining fabric, but that’s not on the photos. If you are interested in making your own tissue cases, it’s so simple you can just wing it, but there also are several tutorials around the web. My favourite would be this one (read that blog if you like to sew, it’s fabulous!).

Have I mentioned already that it not only is exhibiton opening time but also trade fair time at my job? CRAZY. I was so knackered this past weekend, I didn’t get to sew a thing, even though I was looking forwards to making a new dress and some trousers. *sighs* Instead, I dyed my favourite-because-SOFT duvet cover purple. It was white but had begun to grey. I love the outcome, because the white decorative stitching stayed white as planned and the contrast is striking! And to feel a bit more crafty, I made a little coin purse from an emptied tetrapack. That was all I managed to do.

Hey, if I’m not mistaken, I managed to catch up on 4 months of craftiness in two blog posts! Now I’ll have to sew something new fast or won’t have anything to talk about here.
