October 8th

Phew! The parcel reached them on their day. It was the one to witness their smiles while they unpacked it. Two little pouches for my two little sisters!

Wish you a very Happy Birthday my darling sisters! 

All the while I made these, I was imagining their faces when they would open the package to see these pouches... It is indeed a pleasure to make our loved ones happy! :)

All sewed with love and care...

I cut all the pieces using my Sizzix bigshot machine. The pouch body is fleece and the flowers in felt. The star button to add beauty to the flower.

Stitched a couple of button holes and passed the grosgrain ribbon through it, then tied it into a bow.

Simple, yet beautiful... Just like my sisters! :)

What started out as a cell phone pouch... ended as a pouch to be used for saving trinkets! But what's important is it reached them on their birthday... Thank you USPS!

Thoranam

Using Sizzix : Sizzlits Die Set 3PK - PAISLEY SET, I tried to make a thoranam(threshold hanging) for our kitchen threshold.

Used two different shades of paper. Pasted one pattern on the other to get each leaf. 

This was for the Vinayaka Chaturti. Happy Vinayaka Chaturti!

Cushion Covers

Here is my second project using Sizzix bigshot die cuts. This time I made cushion covers using 2 different fabrics to get a checkerboard look.


I used the square scallop die to cut squares from blue and yellow fabric... I used fabric that does not fray so that the cover can withstand washes...


Added flowers to some of the squares using Sizzix flower die-cuts and some mod podge.

It was super easy but so beautiful.


I used a different fabric for the back of the cushion.


This is for Kotturu home. I hope everyone at home likes it! :)

Quilt using Sizzix Die Squares

I am so excited today. I finished a throw for our niece and it came out very beautiful. This is my first project using my Sizzix Bigshot die cutting machine. This is my first patchwork quilt as well! 

This is how it looks from the front.

Here is a close-up shot.

 

The flip side looks like this.

As I have used fleece as backing material, I have not used any batting for this quilt. All the blue and white squares were part of an unused T-shirt. I cut the squares using Sizzix Bigshot machine with Scallop Square Die. Click below for full tutorial...
