Lene attempts to do things she doesn’t know how to do….

Mood: Good
Listening to: Queen – We will rock you… some sports event thingie on tv… just glad I’m not watching it…

Yes, my fingers have started itching. I’ve wanted to do something for ages…
I started out making a pillow, but I didn’t get very far… I cut out the squares, ironed the picture onto it and added some lace… that’s about it, really…
But now I want to make something else…  A spa towel wrap…

….
It’s cool…. No… really… it is…. and I want one….
This one is avalable on eBay, just so you know it… just write in Spa Towel Wrap, and you’ll see this one or one in yellow.. they are equelly nice…
So yes… I’m making one… but not in green… mine won’t look like that… I found the fabric..
It’s fleece… with soft soft lovie lovie insides…

I think it’s adorable… AND I have pink ribbon.. <3
It’s all love, I tells you!!!

And to be honest… I don’t even know where to start D:
But I really should, because I’m really looking forward to it’s soft soft lovie lovie niceness…

I’ll keep you posted on my progress…

UPDATE!!!

It’s been a few days now… and I finally got off my ass and started…
First I ripped up the seams.. which took ages… but I had too.. seeing as the thing is a blanket and I needed a larger fold to house the elastic band… then I started sowing… and I finally figured out how to zig-zag XD … both very close zig-zags and spaces zig-zags…
When I was done I figured out that… I had fucked up…
I had sowed a hem on the bottom of the thing and I shouldn’t have.. not yet, anyway… I need to sow in some more fabric inbetween the doggies to make it wider… I’m a large woman, I need my space…
So yeah… I ripped up the stitches and that’s where I’m at now…

To be honest… I think it looks darn good…

I also know that I shouldn’t have sowed the sides together yet… I could have used that to sow the added pieces in… but let’s face it..
I’m not gonna win any awards for being the smartest person in the world… and right now I can’t be arsed to rip the stitchings up again…

More to follow…

UPDATE AGAIN!!!!

I’VE FINISHED!!!! XD
Yeah, I know… I’m surprised too…

That’s how the elsastic band looked… before I zig-zag’ed them together and sowed the two ends up.

Here you can see the added bit I did… ok.. so it’s not perfect, but with the fabric I had left over, I couldn’t do what I was hoping to do, which was use the pink fabric in between and sow that together to make a larger piece…
But then I thought… hang on… I’m only gonna use it around the house… why should I make too much work for myself over something only my boyfriend’ll see… and myself, of course… so I cut and stitched… blind, I might add…
I was really lucky that the piece was large enough…

Here’s the close up of the added bit…
The piece is under my arm, so it’s not like it’s right where you’ll see it, anyway….

And this is the done product…
First thing I’ve finished something on my sowing mashine…
The pink satin ribbon wasn’t quite how I wanted it, but I realised after I had sowed closed the elsatic band opening that if I put the ribbon where I wanted it, from the very top to the bottom, then it would stitch through the elastic band, and I didn’t want that… and I don’t think I have enough pink ribbon to go around the bottom…. so for now I’ll have to make do with how it looks… and I’m pleased..
Well done, Lene… *pats self on back*
