Fortunately I was able to stave off the onset of rickets though today and enjoy a rather nice hour in the sun this afternoon and I got some photos taken at the same time, bonus.
My deviation from the Zakka Style pattern was to fussy cut my panel for the front rather than using 3 strips, but Kerry's full-on adaptation makes me kind of wish I had waited to see how she had interpreted the pattern.
Like Sheila, I can fit my regular glasses in, but my sunnies are too big, and as they seem to spend more time in my bag than on my face at the moment, maybe I will attempt a larger version with some wadding in the future.
I ended up using medium-weight iron-on interfacing as I was all out of lightweight, and that made for a little trickier turning-through, but it works.
Again, the pattern was foolproof to follow, although I was having difficulty imagining how it all worked from the diagrams, but these are definitely something I can see me making for the girl's friends and teachers as birthday pressies and whisper it, Christmas gifts.
These are so pretty. Can't believe you've mentioned the 'c' word already. It must be an early sign of Rickets so get out and make the most of the sunshine before all your bone's crumble to dust ;-)
ReplyDeleteThese are great...well done!
ReplyDeleteThey are just so pretty!
ReplyDeleteSo fun! This may be one I actually squeeze in some time for. And aren't you supposed to be in a drought?

ReplyDeleteThese are fabulous - I might make one for my sunglasses, it would be much better than keeping them in a Boots bag!!
ReplyDelete"onset of rickets" made me laugh! I love your projects - the linen looks just gorgeous.

ReplyDeleteTriplets now! Yep, I was foxed for a while at the last stage but it was pretty clever. Wish I'd put wadding in tho.
ReplyDeleteLove your choice of co-ordinating fabrics
ReplyDeleteVery lovely :-) if one is going spare my glasses are unclothed!

ReplyDeleteOoh, teacher gifts. A cunning plan...
ReplyDeleteYour pencil cases turned out amazing! I must be the only one who had difficulties with the instructions - not enough diagrams but great once you worked it out!!
ReplyDeleteLove these Mrs, very pretty
ReplyDeleteI have seen your posts every week, and I finally tracked back all the way to figure out what Zakka is and now...well now I need the book! Thanks for inspiring me :)
ReplyDeletevery pretty! I love the fussy cut strips.
ReplyDeleteNice work, Hads. I like the printed linen you used. Super cute!
ReplyDeleteHow lovely they are. I want one, badly.
ReplyDeleteIf you get froggy the green one must be mine! Teehee!
ReplyDeleteI had the same difficult time trying to imagine how it would all work from the pictures. Unlike you, I saw kerry's first and then made mine.
ReplyDeleteIf one just sewed , then it was all good.
I like your big blue crow. Hosting a giveaway anytime soon?
these are so gorgeous, and as a set that are even more so! lovely work.
