Several small but highly practical items were ticked off the crafting list this week. In the world of crafting there is not much that is as instantly satisfying as a quick project of which there is a needed use for.
A little knitting case for all those little items that get lost at the bottom of the basket. Sewn from a thrifted lined tea towel and zipper. Finished off with wonky embroidery.
Thrifted fabric covered address book (also thrifted) using craft glue. Though I would recommend a brush (much, much neater than using your hands as I did) Quite prettier than the old one.
Another dish cloth to add to the collection. Must make a few more of these. Knitted up in two sittings.
Now working on a few medium sized projects that require a little more time commitment. I do think starting is the hardest part, don't you?
Nice dishcloth. Is that wool?
ReplyDeleteThe knitting bag is wonderful. I crocheted some cotton dishcloths last year but then couldn't bear getting them dirty, which kind of defeats the purpose.
ReplyDeleteThey look fab! Small projects are so satisfying :)
ReplyDeleteThese are lovely. I love the knitting bag.
ReplyDeleteLove your knitting bag, I have to say I have been quite inspired to get my sewing machine out to start on a long list of simple projects, pillow cases, nappy bags, toiletry bags, library bags etc...but when I did, It Broke! FRUSTRATING.... Now when it gets fixed I will have to add a Crochet needle bag to my list.. I don't actually have any problem starting a project, I just need to learn to finish one before I start another! :)
