FNSI - A successful night

I really wasn't home until after 9pm yesterday -- it was after 9:30 before I headed downstairs... so I wasn't organized for this FNSI... my sewing room was a mess... the machine was pulled apart (didn't want to do a wide zigzag, the serger was set to do a rolled hem (in pink and purple), the floor was a mess, the table was a mess... I really should have gotten a photo before, but I cleaned the floor, did some recycling, and cleaned one of my sewing tables so I could sew....

Ah... space to work!  Ok you can still see a mess hiding behind the chair on the left, and up on the window sill, but I still had 6ft of desk space to work with!  And this is how I left it last night, all clean ready for a new day.


Now what to work on... I have some big projects but it was 10:30 at night and I wasn't feeling the enthusiasm to start on one... so I made a small gift for my daughters dance teacher.  She has her last lesson for the year on Tuesday (although will only get 6 weeks off before they start again...)







This wallet uses the pattern at Very Berry Handmade - Folding Card Wallet Tutorial .  I did make one small change with one of the pockets, because I can't read instructions well after 11pm... oops... oh well, I made my pocket work.  And then I made a lined zipper bag... in a triangle shape... I've seen a number of tutorials for this so kinda winged it last night.
