Sew-n-tell

Sew...I don't really have much to share this week, I have some different works in progress, but really only one thing done, and it didnt really invole sewing, but it was in the One Yard Wonders book, so I'm going post it on sew-n-tell friday anyways.

It's the first project in the book, and i tried to have my boyfriend help me, but he was to busy so i had to figure it all out myself. Its the corkboard, and again i only used a fat quarter this time becasue i didn't think i would need a HUGE cork board for my dorm.

I couldn't find rolled cork, so i had to buy the squares, and then cut one and stick it together with another one to make it the right size, Here is what it looks like:

I really loved the fabric, and wanted to showcase it off, I got the frame from my next door neighbor, and there is a picture of my best friend who lives in Florida, (its kind of an old one) A huge list of things that i  forgot to bring up to school when i moved in, and a canadian pirate my co-worker made me!

anways, this was really fun and it came out really cute! So i think i'm going to make one for my sister who is going away to college for Cullinary (pastry and Baking) school next fall!

Make sure to check out all the other finishes over at Amy's blog!

Peace & Love J-me

Great corkboard. I have been wanting to make one of these for ages but have used the fabric I was saving on something else. Oh well, I'll just have to go shopping!
