Yay! Today is our day on the She Who Sews Blog Hop. A big thanks to our wonderful leader Madam Samm and the great cheerleader Carla from Creatin' in the Sticks
Quilting Treasures is our sponsor for this blog hop - YAY for them!!!
Miss H and the Mother ordered their material from Hancocks. It was quite exciting when it arrived - they loved it.
For those of you who are new here this is my blog (I am in the above photo) and I am the kindest sheepie in the world and have let Miss H and the Mother use my blog.
Both of them had wanted to make sewing machine covers for a while and when this blog hop was announced they knew it was the PERFECT time for them to make them.
First is The Mother's sewing machine cover.
She used one of the panels and then added an applique sewing machine and her favourite word 'Sewing!'
She added funky buttons to the sides.
This is Miss H's sewing machine cover. She used one of her favourite panels too for the front.
Look at the coolio little button.
Miss H wanted to do something unique for her cover. When she first saw the material she thought it had a bit of a steampunk look and that made her think of the dress she wore to a Victorian Steampunk Ball. And she decided to take her inspiration from that. So she got the Boss to help her put in some eyelets and then laced ribbon through them to make the sides of her cover.
Er...think I got myself in a tangle... Help Miss H....
Miss H also made a pincushion.
Isn't it sooooo COOLIO?!
The Mother also wanted a mat to go with her machine cover.
She made it with special pockets so she can put in scissors, needles, etc.
Then she really got into it and made a pouch for me.
Then she really got into it and made a pouch for me.
What do you mean it's not for me? You will have to find me before you can have it back!

ReplyDeleteYou have made some wonderful items with the fabric. Love the pincushion and I like your pouch, I was at a loss as to what to do with that black strip of pattern dolls. The pouch is a clever use for them.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great sewing machine mat- am encouraged to finally buy this fabric for myself.
ReplyDeleteLove Baa's pouch!
Favorite has to be Miss H's machine cover- the corset lacing is the perect touch!
You took the time to dress those sewing machine covers up with little details and it makes them so special. Your organizer and pincushion are sweet. My favorite is the little scrap pouch and the selvage and rick rack you added.
ReplyDeleteThanks for hopping. Fun projects!
The machine covers are just beautiful! Perfect!

ReplyDeleteThe corset lacing on your the machine cover goes perfectly with this fabric. Nice detailing on all your projects! svonfumetti at yahoo dot com
ReplyDeleteBaa totally showed off your projects today and put a smile on my face. Both covers are just beautiful and perfect for covering your machines. Great job using that amazing fabric! :O)
ReplyDeleteI love your idea of sewing in the name of the fabrics into your project. What a great way to remember what it is, if you want more.
ReplyDeleteI love the lace-up sides of the machine cover, and that little pin cushion! Thanks for sharing their projects Baa!
ReplyDeleteI need everything you made!!! Love the lace up for the sewing machine cover... very clever ;-) Thanks for sharing in the hop!!
ReplyDeleteBaa, you certainly are entertaining. Tell Miss H that her corset sides are the perfect accent to this fabric collection!! Sorry you didn't get a new pouch. Have you asked nicely for one?
ReplyDeleteVery very cute projects. I love the Sewing and machine and the lace up sides too. I think Baa should get a cover!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.

I love the lacing on that machine cover. It goes so well with the fabric. I love all your projects. Thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteBaa, you are so sweet to show off all the beautiful creations that Miss H and Mother made. I really love them, especially the sewing machine cover with the cute lacing on the side. I love the buttons that she used also. Give them a big hug and thank them for sharing today. (Thank them for the giveaway, too.
ReplyDeleteYou have some great ideas! I will see if I can alter the machine cover to fit mine...!

I absolutely love the corset lacing idea on that one cover! Just perfect for this fabric.
ReplyDeleteWow! Great blog!
ReplyDeleteYour projects look wonderful! The corset lacing on the side of the machine cover is inspired. I like that you added the selvege too.
ReplyDeleteVery cute accessories and of course the sheep is a great helper. I really like the cover for the machine. Great for keeping off the dust!
ReplyDeleteI love what miss H and the mother have done with their fabric. I think you look quite cozy in your pouch, maybe you should argue the point that if they made something for themselves you should have something too ;P
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing all your lovely projects!!
ReplyDeleteGreat work! I love the eyelets on the side of the machine cover.
ReplyDeleteSo much inspiration. I think the one that has me motivated is the mat with pockets. Great idea! My machine is too heavy to move every time I need my desk area so I have it on a mat and I slide it. Now I can see a better way--a mat with pockets so I can slide the seam ripper, scissors, thread and bobbins right along with the whole set up.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful projects.Your machine cover caught my eye!!
ReplyDeleteOh, how sweet your cover is. It seems as there are a lot of happy machines out there that are getting covered. Don't you just love that panels on the fabric?? You set them up perfectly for your machine.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful machine cover and the little pouches are so cute!! I want to hug that little lamb.

I now understand the photo with the sheep feet sticking out of the bottom! I saw it on Pinterest at first and couldn't think what it was!
ReplyDeleteYour pincushion is my favorite thing so far- and I don't even usually like them!
ReplyDeleteWow, as a sheep love I can honestly say that I loved each one of your projects and I'm glad that you allowed your sheep to help you. : > )

ReplyDeleteHello - What a nice post and projects. I especially like the little details that you used to embellish them. My favorite however, is the Handmaids brand & artist credit label that you made from the selvage. ;-) Thanks. J. Wecker Frisch
ReplyDeleteLove the buttons and the lacing, great ways to keep those sewing machine covers in place.
ReplyDeleteWell done. I love all the things you did with the fabric. This is the first time I have visited you blog. I will definitely follow. I'm in the hop on the 4th. With all the fantastic creations I hope I measure up :) maybe I'll be lucky enough to win.
ReplyDeleteBaa, I'd be putting in an order for my own scrap catcher if I were you! It was just the right size, and looked snuggly... mmm, needs a pocket for chocolate though ;-)
ReplyDeleteOh, Baa, I want you to ask for a photo of the steampunk ball gown in a future post. I'd love to see that, too! Thanks for sharing all those fun projects! pbstrand@msn.com aka Beth @ Words & Stitches
