After that debarcle, I was feeling rather fed up, and couldn't be bothered to do anything apart from clearaway the worktop.
Hmm. Not good. I know what I'm like, and I could feel there was a risk of me avoiding doing anything for days - so, before I finished clearing up, I made myself cut out fabric ready to make a Digistitches 5x7 zippered case.
The cut fabric and zip sat on the table for the restof Saturday, and all day yesterday. Each time I walked past it, I smiled at the fabric and my careful pattern matching.
Today I decided to give it a go.
It was relatively quick. After all, I had the fabric already cut, and I'd already made the 4x4 case so I knew what to expect.I was really pleased with the end result.
The Digistitches cases are unpadded but are fully lined. They are quick and easy to make.
I'm going to make a bigger one I think.
They are missing one vital size - a size I already have with my Embroidery Garden case. The EG case required whip stitching, which I just can't do neatly or reliably. However, maybe I can use the technique used by Digistitches of leaving a larger bit of fabric at the open hem, and then wundaweb it together.I had a quick look at the EmbroideryGarden instructions, and it might be possible. I'll try it.
I'm not sure which I'll try first - the bigger Digistitches case or the attempted adaptation of the EmbroideryGarden design,
I bet you can't wait to see, lol.
