WIP Wednesday – Great Progress

 

Tomorrow our vacation starts and Im already totally exhausted from packing all this things into suitcases and bags. Vacation and I mean more the camping vacation is not so much fun to pack for. I have endless lists, what we need to take with us. But I totally love to cross things of, yeah Im a huge list lover. I will gone until the 17th august, but Im sure you wont really miss me, because I scheduled a lot of posts for you, including a tutorial,  and a queen bee feature too. Just my WIP Wednesday posts will take a break, coz I cant take my sewing machine, to a camping holiday. Can I?

Nail Polish Pouches - I got totally addicted by them, when I saw the new nail polish pattern at the fat quarter shop blog. And had immediately make my own. The pattern was just too big, so I made it up myself in EQ7 and paper pieced it. The little pouch is just 3.5” x 5.5” and holds 3 nail polish inside. I just couldnt go to bed until I finished this cute pouch, a thing I normally dont do. I really need my sleep. So yesterday morning I decided to make a bigger one, this time I paper pieced it 6” x 8”. I love them both and most I love that I had the perfect zipper colors in my stash for them.

  5. Love the bird bee blocks. We do a 2 week camping type vacation and no I don't take my sewing machine but I do take my box of scraps to rotary cut into 2 1/2 and 1 1/2" squares. Its something I wouldn't waste time doing at home when I could sew.

    1. I already carry a ton with me, and I really hope I can squeeze all this today into my car lol, right now it looks just overwhelming. But I take my stitching and crocheting supplies with me, sketchbooks and such things too, for new ideas.

    1. thank you, you can find the pattern for the nail polish miniquilt over here: http://fatquartershop.blogspot.co.at/2014/08/sew-solid-series-featuring-nail-polish.html
      but I think Im not allowed to give you the measurements I made on my own, I think fat quarter shop wont be happy.
