    Thanks Linda

    I LOVE the last one!! Haven't read all the posts yet so don't know if someone has mentioned this. Would you consider making a tutorial for the vest? I am ALWAYS misplacing the things I use or they are on the left sign of my machine when they need to be on right side and vice versa. Very irritating!! This would save me so much time and aggravation!!

    That is such a great idea, and you have done such a great job on them...LOVE the one with the earth tones and purple trimming.

    Those are fantastic! I love the pin cushions especially. I recently took a class and the instructor kept sticking pins into her sweater right over her breast. I can't tell you how it made me wince! Did you use a pattern or make them up yourself?

    That is super cool. Great job. You'll have to let us know how it works out for you.

Aprons don’t really work for me, but I don’t always have pockets for all my ‘stuff’ so I designed this to hold the things I tend to misplace (phone, Ipod, scissors, reading glasses, measuring tape, etc.) while I’m sewing. I also added a small pin cushion (I don’t like the one you wear on your wrist) for those stray pins that often end up on the floor. I quilted them to give them enough ‘body’ to handle the weight of all the ‘stuff’. It just comes down to your waist so the pockets won’t get lost in your lap as you work. I just finished mine this afternoon so I can’t tell you how well they are going to work out yet.
