SU Fabric

I got a brand spanking new sewing machine this week, curtesy of my DH.  I don't know how to sew.  But hey, why should that deter me from getting a machine, right?  Well, since it was here, I figured I might as well jump right in.  I was very excited (not!  haha... I was terrified actually) to learn how to thread a bobbin, thread the needle and how to pull the lower thread out.  Thank goodness for y0utube these days.  So, everything got set up without any troubles.  After doing a couple of straight stitches, I thought I might as well make a project.  This is what I made:

Yes, it's another coffee cozy!  LOL.   The fabric is from the Twitterpated suite.  But this time it looks sooooo much better than my handmade one!  Rather than lined with old sock, I lined it with felt, then covered with yet another fabric from the Twitterpated suite.

Then I decided that I was going to make another fabric flower to redeem myself from the last one I made.

This is the view when it's unfolded.  Alas, my measurements were just a bit off.  I didn't really have much extra fabric for crossing over.  I went the easy way and used velcro for the ends to stick together.  The green button is only decorative.

This sleeve feels nice and soft.  I can't wait to use it!
