kitchen table sewing

i got in some sewing today: a new case for my ipad.  i've had this beautiful echino fabric for quite a while,  and this seemed like a perfect project for it! may i just say thank you to the people of japan for making such great fabric! if you haven't used echino before, it's a lovely, heavy linen fabric and there are really cool patterns.

i wanted a pocket to carry my headphones, and i lined it with quilt batting, polyester because it seemed loftier than cotton. i used a little piece of elastic to loop around the button. i wish i had put the button a bit lower, but i really don't feel like taking the whole thing apart to fix it, so that's that!

feels like spring out there...but don't be fooled!

happy hump day!

34 down.........

 

8 MORE TO GO!!!!!

and in equally exciting news, i got myself an ipad mini, which is yes, EXCITING, but also extremely FRUSTRATING! i know i just have to figure things out, but i have never used apple computers before, and while some things are easy, others are not! like for instance, i can't figure out how to make a "_". i need to know this!! i feel like i make one tiny step forward and then 100 steps backward. i'm not very computer-y, but i suppose will get it eventually!

i hope you're keeping warm. it's been so weird here. literally (and i do mean LITERALLY. *side note* did you know that the dictionary is changing the meaning of "literally" because the word is so misused!? i think the meaning is now "figuratively". how crazy is that?? shouldn't people use the word correctly instead of changing the meaning??  anyway, that bugs me!!)

back to what i was saying! literally the temperature has been 0 degrees one day and 48 degrees the next! we are now back to cold, and all due to the "polar vortex", a term they are using to describe the cause of  this weather and which i like a lot! 

signing off now. happy hump day!!!
