I have a lot of photos to show you.. Its been a long busy week , or it seems like it.. Either been sitting at the sewing machine or sitting in the drivers seat or chasing Zoey.... I grabbed my coffee and my laptop and flopped my butt down in my recliner and not moving for awhile.. so thought I would get this post out...
First for my sewing crafty friends here is my sneaky peek of what I did sew up.. some gifts , yep they are towels...but you can't see what I did to them..hehehehe..will have to wait...
I also made some flaps for a gun belt.. the clips slide down inside. The cheap little elastic things weren't working to keep the ammo clips down inside very well... so I made some custom flaps for them
Now some Filofax stuffs...
I received my newest Filofax hehe.. the Holborn personal. One of these days I will learn all the names!
I love incorporating my sewing skills with my Filofax's. I have some other things I want to try out but this is one of the ideas I had to try out first...
As using my Holborn personal I love that my pens stays put in the little pen holder. But one pen? NO, I need more then one.. I need color choices..
I had this idea of a pen holder pocket that I did try out.. not bad, maybe show it another day. It used up too much space though.
So anywho...I go to looking at the flap and wondered if I could make something to slide over it.. no it wouldn't look right... then I looked down and saw my solution.. the pocket on the inside front.
This is all it is.. cardboard, of course I will pretty it up with fabric another day lol or maybe scrapping paper.. I taped my elastic on so when I was sewing it down it wouldn't shift..
( shhhh , lets not tell the postal service I cut up their box before use)
Then I just slide the card board inside my pocket. I thought sewing through the card board would be a hassle but my machine chomped right through lol
Another little thing I made. I used a report cover .. those plastic covers.. cut it down to size and sewed the sides together. I added a decorated stitch on the bottom... = 0)
That is Zoey's art work btw...she loves her pens and paper just like her gramma.. I just have to keep her out of my good stuff!!!
Isn't this pretty?
And of course I have to show my kid off in the pocket.... I use this page to put a post it note for my things to do for the next day.. (not shown because I did all my things today!!) See my new FF keeps me very organized!!
I will be doing a layout post soon.. I'm just not ready for that yet.. I'm waiting on my laminating machine I ordered. I want to make my new dividers and show them off soon..I made some out of scrapping paper and with tabs and will laminate them. I also bought a label maker ! lol Well, because I have to make new labels to go on my new tabs!!
question:
I noticed some of my newer followers just follow Filofax peeps.. Should I do a separate post from my sewing posts? Or just keep it all blobbed together???
Have a good weekend!
