I devoted a good bit of time last month to finishing 2 nice projects I completed earlier this year. But I didn’t finish them in time to share in September, so here I am sharing in October.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First I turned the Chessie and Me kitty project into a needlebook. The design is called Under the Bough and it was a little kit. It was supposed to be a fob but I thought it would be too big. So I stitched another cat (the orange one) to make the 2 covers.<\/p>\n\n\n

It just ties closed with a little ribbon wrapped around the button. <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

This was fairly simple and straightforward. Topstitching the edge meant I didn\u2019t have to blind stitch it closed and it works with binding in the wool felt pages. I\u2019m quite happy with having my vision come to fruition.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n

And then I was warmed up for a bigger project, the Summer Garden Roll by Stacy Nash. Here is the whole project all together!<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

The kit came with lining fabric which I didn\u2019t like and also, just lining it didn\u2019t seem very useful. A proper tool roll needs pockets for stuff. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I got some pretty fabric from Moda\u2019s Howard Marcus \u201cHeritage\u201d line and a piece from the Rosewood line from 3 Sisters (the red floral). and it was a perfect match. I set out to design an interior full of pockets.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

There is a pocket with ribbon ties for a pair of scissors. There is a pocket big enough to stuff in a bunch of threads in floss away bags, since I often manage my thread this way. Or I can put the flower needle book in it which was part of the kit. There is a wool pocket for odds and ends like the pretty waxer that came with the kit. I can also stick my needles in it. The whole thing ties with the ribbon from the kit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I did something new. I learned how to apply binding! First I made the bias tape trim for the edge. My Attic coworker who is an accomplished seamstress showed me how to sew it on. My first attempt was crummy and I took it off, but the second try came out really nice. I machined stitched the interior side and hand stitched the linen side. I think if I try to do this again, I have learned some valuable skills with this that will make the next one even nicer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I finished it off by making the strawberry emery that came with the kit. Cute!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I see a lot of professional finishing on Instagramand I wonder how it is so perfect. I guess practice! (And maybe sometimes good camera angles?)! I tried hard to make this come out really well. I love the colors and design. Mine is not completely perfect but you know it may be the biggest complete finishing project I\u2019ve done so far and I feel a little more confident with finishing my other roll some day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many thanks to Rachel for hosting us again this month! To see more finishing be sure to visit the other participating blogs in her site!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
