Hi!

Friday, March 15, 2013 


I can’t believe time flies so fast that it is already time for me to post on my Nancy Drew Blog Hop!
It was first delayed..and in my head I thought I have plenty of time to sew up something before my day.
I guess I have been sewing up in my head more rather than actually doing it! LOL. These days I get sooo tired after school days and the new sewing room in my new home isn’t yet fully utilized. (have to learn and practice Madame Samm’s advice on making time!)
But here it goes…
Ummm, firstly to tell you the truth, my cutting mat was like this for a couple of week.
…because I couldn’t get myself to cut it as I don’t really have a clear idea of what to make. I am not familiar with Nancy Drew’s but I decided to join in because I like how different the fabrics line are from the common fabric lines out there. ( I thought I would have time to read at least one of her book before today comes… but shhhh don’t tell anyone..but I didn’t ! I guess I am missing out huh..)
Finally three days before today, I decided to make something simple. Bright primary colours. I love how different this is to my common colours.
I ended up making a zippered pouch for my scissors to carry around especially when I am working around my little one. Plus its bright! I am sure not to lose it!
My favourite out of the lines are the magnifying glass, the books and Nancy Drews in circles. Which is your favourite?
I still have plenty left out of my charm packs.. I am thinking of more small things to make..
Thank you to Madame Samm and Carol for hosting this bloghop! They are superb cheerleaders!
Till then, have fun blog hopping!
XOXO

  5. Cute little pouch! I know it took me awhile to decide what to make too and it’s always hard to cut into the beautiful fabric. Thanks for sharing your bag and I know you’ll enjoy using it!

  7. The little pouch is so cute. I love the addition of the hanging hook on the side. Was there a blue magnifying glass print in the mix–that and the big blue dots on the yellow would probably be my favorite from the line. Apparently it is scarcer than hen’s teeth to find.

    I like your term “mixmode” in the description—-it probably describes it best as I like some “modern” though I do not like the labeling somebody thought necessary but will always love traditional classic quilts. There is room for all of us to do our thing.

  11. My Nancy Drew fabric sat in a pile similar to yours while I waited for ideas to pop into my head–it took a while for me, too. Your scissor pouch looks so well made and colorful…love it! Thanks for hopping with us! :O)

  15. I love those zip bags and the little glimpse of the inside showed some great fabric also. Great choice for the whole bag.

  19. I like your zip pouch. Don’t feel bad for not reading Nancy Drew. I think you have to be over a certain age(like me) to have read her, because thats what there was to read.

  35. Your pouch is adorable! I love the book spines and the Blue Silhouette which both have been a challenge to find, at any rate only online, no local stores. I have started my own project now after all the inspiration from the hop! B-)

  37. Your pouch looks fan-tas-tic! I saw in your profile that you live in Australia so I was actually wondering if Nancy Drew was popular there, but then I saw you’ve never read any of her books. Which one did you get? I read all the originals plus many from her newer series when I was a kid.

    Thanks for linking up! What else are you going to make with those charms?
