I've been working on so many quilts! I really enjoy making them but it usually takes a long time until you can "see" the finished product. So, since I am still waiting for my batting to arrive, I thought that I should pull out my One-Yard Wonders book and choose something out of there.
I remembered that I saw the jewelry roll back in May on the Pink Chalk Studios blog. I guess the bright colors just really made it memorable since I couldn't even remember it being in the book :-)
Here is a picture of how it looked in the book:
I checked if I had the required materials (thank goodness!) and got started on it right away. The project itself was fairly easy. I mean, yes, there are the time consuming things like working with pattern pieces, ironing on the interface pieces. But the directions are pretty clear. It took me about 2.5 hours from start to finish. And this is what I ended up with:
I will probably make a couple as presents. But I will have to change a couple of things:
1. I really don't like the tied ring strings (not tied in the picture above). I think that the ribbon will start to show a lot of wear after repeated use. I have to think of something better and maybe easier than the constant tying next time...
2. I also don't like the overall ribbon closure. Yes, it looks fancy but again, it will probably show a lot of wear soon! Maybe a velcro closure?
Do you like it?
Take care,
Me
