The applique gets done at night while watching TV, and during the day I have been working on a garment sewing project for my husband for Father's Day. He asked me if I could make him a vest with inside pockets so that he could keep his phone handy.
We went together to JoAnn's fabrics to try and find a pattern. Not a lot to choose from in men's vest patterns but we settled on a basic pattern and I told him I would engineer some pockets for it.
The outer fabric will be denim and the inner fabric will be flannel. Here is a prototype of the pocket I have come up with so far:
It may not be a quilt, but I am working with scraps! And they are even dark blue!
It's always a treat to see what everyone else is creating with their scraps over at the Rainbow Scrap Challenge link up. Happy Saturday!
Hooray for using some dark BLUE scraps!! Best of luck on the sewn gift.
ReplyDeleteThose are such pretty blue hexies! I'm impressed you're sewing your husband a vest - looks like you have a great plan for it!
ReplyDeleteYour hexies are lovely! So glad this solution is working for you as well. Good luck with the vest - love that blue print.
