This past summer I attended a sewing/scrapbooking retreat. One of my favorite things about retreats (other than actually getting 'stuff' done) is discovering new toys and doodads the others bring along. One sewing gal brought along this little pill bottle someone made her as a 'hello' gift at another retreat she attended. She carries it with her along with a little pouch with some hand piecing fabric projects. She said she brought this to jury duty a few weeks prior. All the sudden 'doing my civic duty' doesn't sound so bad. I could not find the pill bottles with the dual tops (one side twist on, the other snaps on), and I had a LOT of drug popping family members and friends I interviewed in hopes of locating these (apparently) rare jewels. I did finally get this little bottle with a small indention via Zee, thanks Zee. I used some left over quilting fabric, and covered it with a scrap of fabric (any cotton would do). I sewed the bottom together with the cotton inside for the pins to push into later. I used super glue, and held it firmly to the top while it dried. I filled it with pins, needles, a small bobbin etc, and now....I'm ready for jury duty. Linking To: Sassy Sites
a handy, compact sewing kit - perfect for slipping in your bag when you're out and about... You will need old glasses case 30cm x 30cm of fabric (for outer) 30cm x 30cm of fabric (for lining) 10cm x 20cm scrap of fabric (for pincushion) small amount of stuffing (for pincushion) PVA glue stiff glue brush sewing needle,pins & scissors sewing machine (optional) 2 small buttons bone folder or knitting needle blue-tack (optional) ...a bit cruel, but I don't have proper step-by-step photographs for this project! You will find it easier using a glasses case which is 'square-isn' in shape, and fabrics which are fine in weight, and/or of fairly loose weave - this will assist smooth corners. If your fabric buckles at the corners, fold neat little pleats at the curves... I've taken a few close up photos from the finished project to illustrate the instructions as best I can and slotted them into the steps below to clarify a bit more... 1 Cut an oblong of fabric several centimetres larger all around than the lid of your glasses case, and another for the base. With one of the fabric pieces right side down and laid horizontally in front of you, fold the bottom edge up by 5mm and glue into position – this edge will lay along the hinge of the case. Do the same with the other fabric piece and leave to one side to dry. 2 Cover the outside of your glasses case first – use PVA glue and a stiff glue brush to ‘stab’ the wrong side of the fabric first(see tip). Leave it for a few minutes so that the glue is not so wet (this will prevent it from oozing through the fabric when you apply it). 3 Centre the folded edge of the glued piece of fabric along the hinge, then gently smooth it out across the curved shape of the case, making use of the grain and bias of the fabric to reduce the wrinkling. Leave to dry. 4 Repeat steps 2 and 3 with the base of the case. 5 Trim the excess fabric down to 5mm all around the opening of the case. Apply glue to the rim and several mms inside the unhinged edges. Fold and smooth the fabric cover, rub it with the bone folder or end of a knitting needle to smooth it and leave to dry. 6 The best thing to do now is to make yourself a pattern for the lining of the case. Use a scrap of fabric and smooth it into position inside the glasses case, which should be open as wide as possible. You can use small pieces of blue tack to hold it in position while you do this. Trim it to fit exactly around all the edges. Remove your ‘pattern’ and use it to cut your floral lining fabric. 7 Repeat the gluing process to insert the lining, making sure your case is open as wide as possible when doing so. Use small sharp scissors to trim the raw edge 1mm or so below the edge of the case rim and rub it all the way around with the bone folder or the end of a knitting needle to ensure it is firmly attached. 8 Make a small pincushion by cutting two rectangles of fabric roughly half the length of your case and the width plus 2cm. Place the two pieces right sides together, and stitch a 1cm seam all the way around leaving a couple of centimetres for a turning gap. Turn right sides out through the gap, stuff and close the gap with small stitches by hand. Finally, stitch the two buttons to the centre of the pincushion, one on ether side with the fabric and stuffing sandwiched between. tip Stab your loaded glue brush on a scrap of paper first, before applying it to the fabric – you don’t want it over-laden, especially when using finer fabrics, such as the lawn for the lining.
