Sewing Chroniclessss.... @__@

[emmajb]

Omgosh I have sewn so much! So much that my machine has louder sounds than before, haha.

I've done:

• Finished the red themed door mat - it's going to go under my dorm desk.
  
• Toadstool decoration/doorstop - I hope to make another one that is actually a door stop this time, haha.
• Patchwork blue themed pillow case - It looks frigging amaaazing. I'm gonna make a random coloured one for my mom next haha.
• A seat cushion for this crappy chair/dorms. I'm happy it pretty much took up most of one colour of fabrics and any cut offs can be used as stuffing! So I still need to close it up.
• A few tester coasters just to see if  I can do it, and I so can! They have like an old towel inbetween for thickness.
  

Gah  the patchwork pillow case took me a better part of the afternoon, Pretty much three hours or more! Soo soo worth it though. It looks sweet.

I have a semi-goal now. I want to be able to enter the sweet dorm room contest second semester that rez does. So I want to have a mainly handmade decorated room! It'll be rad. Hopefully this will motivate to spend more time cleaning up, haha. Whatever I don't do now, I can attempt to hand sew.
Some ideas for decorations:

• Handsew felt flowers to stick up with silly putty (can't use tape :S)
• Fabric roses as a garland? I was thinking that I could make a bunch, and then sew it all onto a green strip of fabric that could do around the shelf.
• The doorstop! Aaah I want to have a magical forest roooom XD Yayay!
  
• A few more coasters
• Framed Xstitches - I could finally finish the lily or get started on the flight of the conchords one I bought ages ago.
  
• The picture wall. It's kind of a "Emma's room" tradition, only I've scaled it down quite a bit since highschool haha! So just a chunk of the wall near my bed will be plastered.
• Some magnets for the fridge.
• A felt poster/whiteboard for my bulletin outside my door! Aaah! I could use felt to personalize the crappy ones they give out at the beginning of the year and make it all warm and fuzzy =D

That's all I can think of for nowww. If you guys have any ideas, suggest away XD
I'm really kind of pissed at myself because I can't remember for the life of me where I put my damned skirt pattern! Or my aida cloth for cross-stitchin! I really don't want to have to replace theeem. :(
