A apron with chicken fabric from the awesome Britex Fabrics in San Francisco, lined with part of an old sheet & orange trim from an old pillowcase. The rooster pocket in the front lines up with the print below! ![]() I made a lego letters pillowcase for my cousin, Ben, who really likes all things lego. I used scraps for the letters, and part of an old sheet for the case itself. The green edge is the bottom of a green t-shirt.
![]() I made a new comforter cover for Trevor, because his old one (at the bottom of this page) was getting pretty old. This one has a big yellow LED on it, as well as some other details that make it a higher quality cover than the first one.
I also invented a lunch sack, which is slightly derived from Amy Karol's book and slightly made up. It is really fun -- I like it!
No more brown paper or plastic bags for me; it fits my whole lunch perfectly!
For Trevor's birthday I made him this sunshine pillow. It was a lot of ironing! The pillow has 6 secret pockets and 2 interchangeable snap-on messages (one of which is shown -- Happy 19th Birthday!). The back has stripes with width-ratios corresponding to the Fibonacci sequence.
I made a pillow to match my quilt (above), again following Amy Karol's instructions. I ran out of blue fabric (everything was almost gone after the quilt) so I fudged the front of the pillow. Luckily there was just enough for the silly front and a nice overlapping back (right). You can see the front panel for the pillow -- I embroidered it with my sewing machine! I learned about this exciting free-hand sewing stuff (quilting?) last weekend, and enjoy playing with it. The sun image is from a google image search.

Trevor and I invented and made collapsable storage boxes from cardboard, fabric, and ribbon -- great for holding small shampoos and toiletries! Resistor Pillowcase
![]() Here is the matching pillowcase for the new comforter cover. This resistor's value is supposed to be '42', but I'm not sure I did it correctly.
I made placemats and napkins from some scrap cloth to make our summer apartment more homey. Aren't they cute? They are also from Amy Karol's book.
I made this pillow-case from an old normal-sized pillow case ($.50), a down pillow insert ($2) and some scraps of fabric ($0). I had fun using pretty colors of thread for this project. This gave me a cute, cheap pillow-cover which matches our common room quite nicely.
I made this quilt over the weekend from scraps of fabric (see the extra skirt fabric?), and old T-shirts. This is my first quilt -- hence the imperfection on the back. I used a pattern from Amy Karol's book to make this, learning much on the way.
![]() I made a comforter cover and pillowcase for my boyfriend shortly before the sewing machine was fixed. It was on its last legs: I could hardly finish the pillowcase! The cover is reversible, made of 6 large pieces of fabric. The pillowcase is made of scraps, but it doesn't look too scrappy.
