A pocket for your thoughts YPP Swap Lots of pictures!!

  I will admit that I am not much of a sewer. This project became a challenge for me.

  I was grateful that the hostess, Jane did a video tutorial on the cutting and sewing.  The first one (the one that has Live on the front) came out great.

  When I started the sewing of the second, I had all kinds of problems.  First the feed dogs ate my bobbin, and I had to take off the cover plate and dig all the thread out.  Then rewound the bobbin and started again.  Same problem.  I finally broke down and bought a new pre-wound bobbin.  This ended my problems.

  The second one was not only wop-sided but it was much smaller than the first.  It wasn’t even worth trying to save — in the trash it went.

  The then when I re-made the second It was much easier, the sewing seemed to be easier. I didn’t worry about perfectly straight seams, as imperfections are easily covered.

  The fabric was stamped with versa mark brown chalk in and black staz. The fabric was over sprayed with Tattered Angels suede and light green mists.  It is very shimmery in person.

  I enjoyed the challenge and am pretty proud of the way these turned out.  Have a great day.  Stamp Happy be a blessing.
