baby bibs

Hi Everyone.
I can't believe it's September already. I feel like someone steal my August.
There was not many sewing projects last month.
First one that I want to show you is baby bibs.
One of my dear friend, Lisa, gave a birth last month. It's beautiful baby girl Robin.
Also one of my old friend got pregnant!
So I decided to make hips of bibs for present and maybe I can sell someone who need it.
:)

It's made of brown cotton and linen.

This green bib is definitely for Lisa.
She loves GREEN!
I am not sure Robin will like it though.
:P

Tissue box cover - patch work

I made 2 more tissue box cover last week.



Patch work 1

I used same fabrics as the bag that I made last month.

It was quiet fun to patch the fabrics together but
that made me confuse to measure the size.
T_T
After patch them somehow it seemed longer than I calculated
so I cut off mushroom fabric (the bottom one)... that I shouldn't cut!!!
I realised this at the end of process.
I was just about to add button and closer.

I added cotton tape to stretch top part but
it's still not long enough to cover the top.
I overlapped the tape and fabric too much.

It's always like this once I make a mistake,
it wants to be happen continuously.

Look at the big gap between cotton tapes.

Then when I pull the tissue from box
the gap didn't seem obvious.

I had a little crises the end but I completed.
:)

patch work 2

Changed the pattern of patch.

I added cute little label to decorate this simple patches.

To make a flat corner, I used bias tape to finish the top part.
Size is perfect this time.
:)

Added snap button to hold together.

It's single layer super simple pouch.
I used "french seam"
It's really good way to make a single layer pouch.

Simple zip pouch.

This book "you sew, girl" was birthday gift from my dearest friends.
There are many projects that I want to do!
I start with Simple zip pouch.

I made similar pouch last time .
The way This book show is much better way than I did.
Here is my green zip pouch.

I made red zip pouch first and there was a few mistakes.
I forgot to add label in the front and misplaced my tag 'kimtojin'

The reason I make a tissue cover

This tissue box is the reason I start making tissue cover.
It stay in Kim's car back sit and somehow it was squished.
It was like that for a while...

Even if there is cover for box I need to make it solid.
Used lots of sticky tape to hold them together.

You won't notice it was squished ugly box.
:)
