Yoyo Projects

Today I want to write about fabric yoyo. It's very easy and fun to make but a very good embellishment for any project. Or, you can make project with just fabric yoyo such as brooch, table runner, sofa spread etc....whatever you can imagine. There are many tutorials on how to make fabric yoyo in the internet so I will not going to show you any here. But below are some links that you can click if you need a tutorial. -HeatherBailey -Zakkalife -Whipup OK.Back to my story. Below are some projects that I've made using Clover Yoyo Makers I've bought long time ago in Japan. Not that I'm too lazy to draw a circle whatsoever but with yoyo maker you can make precise size for your yoyo and also with a lot of design too. You need more imaginations and skills if you want to make flower yoyo or heart-shape yoyo or even butterfly-shape yoyo. Tomorrow I will upload all the yoyo that I have.

Jeans Recycle Bag

I've dreamed of having jeans recycle bag for so long and TODAY my dream comes true. This bag is quite bulky as I was using my old torn Ladylike jeans size 34. But overall I satisfied with the result. I didn't follow any pattern or tutorial just sewing as I go. Thanks to my NV50 as no needle broken whatsoever during the process.Here's the pictures.

I used drawstring idea for closure. Remark the handle...very solid and strong.

Inside view. No pocket as there are too many pockets outside.

Weird. But can be use as secret hiding place.

Back view. No comment : )

I think it is really fun to experiment with jeans as contrary that it is thick and difficult to sew. And it also good for hand sewing as I did it to attach the lining. My opinion, great project to test drive your sewing machine.Chao!!

Gathered Clutch
