Another Magazine Kit

Karen introduced me to the new magazine, Mollie Makes, after over enthusiastically buying the first issue.  I helped her out by taking one of the extra copies.  Each copy comes with a cover kit, and I didn't want it to go to waste, so here's the first one made up.


There was a glitch with this one, the white felt had been left out of the the package, so I had to wait until my kind son bought me some home last week.  Having all I needed, it was a pleasant hour, hand sewing every thing into place.

I used running stitch around all the pieces and blanket stitch for the outer edge.  All I need now is an ipod to go inside!

This project reminded me how much fun it was to use felt, no fraying edges, and relaxing hand stitching to get a very pleasant end result.  I'll have to see what other felt projects I can find to do.

I saw a write up about that magazine on another blog a few days ago. It looks great - full of fun stuff to make. Knowing our shops here in Oz, I doubt if we'll see it on our shelves any time soon...
I love your two recent finishes - very cute! Yes, felt is terrific to work with isnt' it. I have only used it for embellishing so far, but one day I might get around to being a bit more creative with it.

Cough cough - where is your Churn Dash sample block? ;-)

So cute! I haven't worked with felt in a while but you know my Christmas decorations could use some sprucing up. Felt is probably just the ticket!
