First, here is a picture of my sewing room (aka Sief's office). Since I sold my furniture and have no place to set up my sewing machine, I've taken over the spare room at Sief's place. It's a perfect craft room, especially during daylight hours when good natural lighting comes in through the window. The worst part is that the chair is missing a wheel and I flop over lopsided every once in a while - it drives me crazy!
In progress, my pocket that will hold the utensils is attached (outlined in blue) and the rest is still waiting to be finished. I pretty much just made my own pattern, based off of how tall I felt it needed to be based off the length of a knife and wide enough to be able to wrap around and tie shut.
Here's the finished product - all pretty in blue trim and with a thin piece of fabric attached to the back for a tie. As you can see if you look closely - my binding skills need some work, especially at the corners. It's not perfect, but gets the job done!
All tied up! Isn't it cute?! The only problem is - I don't think it's quite as functional as I was hoping. The utensils fall out, even if tied tight, and help upside down. So I may have random silverware rolling around in my purse. I'll give a try this week and let you know how things go.
