I'm still here. I haven't posted in a week now because I have been busy working on my mother's Christmas gift and she told me that she checks my blog on occasion so I won't be sharing that project until after Christmas. I haven't finished it yet but took a break in order to complete a few little projects. I made this manicure kit as a gift. I used quilting scraps and constructed it similar to a crayon roll. I got the original idea from a tutorial on Sew, Mama, Sew where the it was constructed with interfacing and turned rather than bound. I am going to try it that way next because I think I might like it better that way after all. Also, I am working away on knitting Penny's second and last pair of pants. That means that another cute baby photo will be coming...but don't hold your breath. It will be awhile still!

What a very cute manicure kit. I love it. You worked the sizes very well. Maybe a little tutorial is in order??
ReplyDeleteI love it! We always have clippers and files laying all around. A holder might help keep them all together...maybe :)
ReplyDeletelooks great!
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean, I have a couple of Christmas gift ideas up my sleeve, but I'm so bad at keeping gifts hidden! I'm the gal that buys something, can barely contain myself while wrapping it, almost blurting out what it is that I am wrapping, just to dance around hoping the receiver will beg me to tell them what the gift is. HA! You're mother is lucky you are better at keeping 'gift secrets'! I will probably end up posting mine!~ :P
I have just written on my blog about not being able to reveal Christmas presents, in spite of wanting to! But this year I am having to buy handmade rather than make them myself as I have so much work on.
