Ever feel like your all out of "craftiness"? I've been feeling that way lately.
I can't find my crafting MOJO. It's so sad, it depresses me... but last night I said I need to make something. I must make something!
So this is what I made... TADA!
It's a Sewing Case! Mind you, this is not a"get your mojo back kind of project". This is more of a "What the **** !", kind of project, LOL! Yeah, I'm thinking this just looks like a beginner project but when I started making it (by the time I read the directions I had already sliced and diced all the wool so it was either I made it or chucked the wool...are you nuts?!) I discovered that THIS is what the inside looked like:
Hello?! There are pockets on the other side too...better pics when I finish the last pocket but I really just had to take a mental break...what's up with all the pockets? OK, so it's really, REALLY cute, but I am feeling a little worked up about the pocket situation. And the directions are "like" four pages long...hello? I saw the little flower pot and and was hooked, I didn't bargain for all that work...I thought it was a needlecase! I was dooped by this pattern... But who knew I could make pockets? LOL!Anyway, I did get to try out some of the fancy stitches on my Bernina... and I did use some awesome threads. I also used raw silk for the pockets and all hand dyed woolens for the outside and the applique.
I really love the way it looks and it's almost done, so stay tuned... my fancy schmancy pockets with flap covers are on the other side. Well, you didn't think I was going to show you the whole thing in one post, did you? =)

That is a gorgeous looking neddlecase. Get you with the tricksy pocketage!
I love it. I've lost my Mojo as well. Maybe it ran off with yours!
Yesterday I made a little sewing case as well...no pockets and now all the bits fall out. Wish I had pockets too.
Woah, you did pockets?!! You are Super Woman!! It looks gorgeous. Loving the raw silk with the wool. You are so fancy schmancy!
Wow! That is a great project. Congrats for getting your mojo back.
Those colors are yummy! If you really can't stand it you could always send it to me! LOL I love the front especially with the flowerpot.
TThis is gorgeous.
If you're not feeling creative I'll trade you this for a paint with water book I have here.
It is easy, simple and you will feel just like an artist in three minutes!
Actually you are an artist you silly girl.
I think you need to put that in the drawer, take a walk outside, make something out of found objects, eat a chocolate bunny that you buy on sale AND look at it again!
It is lovely. And so are you!
Well I think you did an awesome job.. I love it and know what you mean.. I made a needle case of Sue Spargo's and thought I would loose my mind but prevailed and now it is PRICELESS..lol

Darling! Mojo, smojo...you've got it going on! :)
That would make a real nice cosmetic brush case... hmm maybe w/ smaller pockets :]
I really like that one, could be modified too, but thinking is a nice rug hooking pouch too. It could hold hooks and scissors.

Hi - first time reading your blog. I love working with wool, in fact most of my christmas projects are done with wool. Love your creation. That's the kind of stuff I love!
