A Speedy Macbook Air Case

This time, It's a race against time. Hubby just got a macbook air and would fly abroad in the next 48 hours. So i decided to make a case for the laptop ready to be used for his journey.

The scraps of Tula Pink 's Acacia is too precious to let go, so I sewed them and add a bit of Kain Lurik That I got from Indonesia. For the lining, I use a fat quarter of  Asbury's Broadwalk in Pink that I got from The Village Haberdashery. Browsing their website, i bumped into a tutorial to make a macbook air case. What a perfect coincidence! I could use it as a reference!

Tinker Tote ala Tara Rebmann

After watching a bag making class using the quilt as you go method with Tara Rebmann as the instructor at Craftsy, I finally convinced my self of making one. I really enjoyed Tara's class, and she made the project seems easy to do. She covers all the aspect of the quilt as you go to make a pot holder and a tinker tote.

The material she uses are scraps, or fabric leftovers with coordinating colour scheme.  I have scraps, but not in the colour scheme I want. So I made a visit to Annie's store The Village Haberdashery in Cricklewood and picked some fabrics from her SALE racks. Awesome stuff I found there, that I had to reign my self from shopping too much. It's always exciting when shopping fabrics.

This the first time I made a bag. And I had so much fun making the tinker tote. I just watched the class video over and over if I was not sure of the process. With a little patience and more attention on how Tara made the tinker tote, the bag was nearly finished. Just need the binding, and it's ready to use. Yaaayyyy!!!

PS: I just found Tara's blog. It's http://tinkerfrog.blogspot.co.uk/
