Finish! HouseCheering

Hello!

This week I got just enough time in the sewing room while Z wasn't feeling well (thanks for saving it for spring break, Z! /sarcasm) to finish the housecheering gifts I got so close to finishing during last weekend's FNSI. Here they are (click for bigger), presented with a little help from Z herself!

Check out the animals!



They were so fun to make! Perfect little bites-of-a-project.

Housewarming gifts: complete!

The plastic bag dispenser is from a tutorial by Rachel Griffith at Moda Bake Shop.

The pillow might look a little weird because all I have for a pillow form is an 18" pillow, and the case should fit a 20" pillow, so when Tracie fills it it might look a bit more stuffed!

Central Park Pillow

I made the pillow using KarrieLynne's (of Freckled Whimsy) tutorial at Stash Manicure. Well-written and easy to follow, and I have a feeling I'll be making more pillows for our house soon...

I love these fabrics! Charm packs are fun to play with without breaking the bank. :)
