That's A Wrap

I'm very happy to say that I got to spend some quality time with my beautiful Singer this week.

Remember the grey wrap sweater that I made last month for G? I've sewn up three more over the past several days and I'm happy to say that I'm getting much better at it already.

The first new wrap is very thick & warm, with a fleece lining, while the second is much lighter -- just a simple cotton.

I'm totally smitten with the owl fabric (an Etsy find) and the liner fabric, with the little hot air balloon pattern, coordinates perfectly. You can also see that I've done a tiny bit of patchwork on one of the front panels, which I'll admit was only necessary because I was running out of the main fabric, but I love how it turned out.

These 'notions' fabrics were so much fun to work with -- you may recognize those buttons from the Bodum cozy I crafted for my neighbour a little while ago.

It's a little hard to tell, but I also used a scallop type stitch on the bottom seam of this particular wrap, just to spice things up a little.

(The third wrap, which I forgot to photograph, was made for my friend's daughter. It was grey with a green/pink lining.)

Now, my head is swimming with ideas for patterns & fabric combinations. I've been experimenting with a few other projects as well, which I'll be sure to share soon. For now, it's off to sleep I go.

Did you get a chance to scratch your crafting itch this week?
