More sewing projects

I made this little pillow on my new sewing machine. I'm taking classes at the store where I bought it. This project focused on "pin-tucks" and "piping". The fabric is a batik with sea turtles on it. I bought it in Hawaii at Kapaii Stitchery--the only place in the world this fabric can be found. The buttons on the four corners of the light fabric are made of tortoise shells which I also bought in Hawaii. (Center button from Wal-Mart--ha)

I really love the pin-tucks! Glad you found something fun to use your Hawaii fabric on. Where are you going to put it?

It resides on one of the chairs by the fireplace.

I love the colors in this! Looks like your are doing a great job with your new sewing machine, but I would expect nothing less.
Love, Greta
