Hours Without Sleep

Today, I finished one of the two storage boxes that I started this last week. It turned out pretty well, but putting the bottom in was a pain. I have put the majority of my fabric in it.

So, I have a first finished attempt at a book sleeve and dice tray for the project i have been working on.

It was a pita to make the way I ended up, and the corners on it bug me. But I think I can iterate on this to make it easier to make with time.

Oh, and something to use to tie it closed. I can start working on some of the final version now, but I can't finish without those items.

Some of the sewing lines are a bit wonky, and the fact that the muslin is so light, some things don't hold their shape well, but here are the pics.

This is a picture of all the bits of quilted t-shirt sections that I have put together so far. At some point, I need to decide on a shape and size and cut all of these accordingly.

It's the weekend, so back to working on my gaming supply transport idea.

This is possibly the closest I have gotten to getting it made. It is still the wrong size, but it is pretty close, and there is one bad cut on one side.

I'm still trying to figure out the best order of stitching.

Today's t-shirt Quilting sewing machine practice. This piece is about the same size as the last one that took two days to put together.

I made fewer tangled stitches, so that is improvement.

Since I haven't had the time to work on a project that is complicated for me, I have been working on quilting some old t-shirts of mine. These are the pictures from yesterday and today

Day two of sewing, new things that I learned today, I need to add more seam allowances and to do a 90 degree turn while sewing.

I still need to work on the order of operations for construction. I also learned more about what the base pattern needs to look like.

So this is part of a mock-up of something that has been in my head for a while.

First time using a sewing machine, learning to thread needles, load bobbins, and replace a broken needle.

Next, a better way to cut the fabric fabric straighter, a better order to do the steps and the rest of the idea

The first doodles in years of what I hope to be many more.
