pot holder

I have been looking for simple sewing projects that I can make.
I came across a pot holder sewing project that I thought I would give it a go.
I didn't follow the directions exactly and found where I made my mistakes so next time things will be even better. :O}

All ready for sewing...

flip it to the right side

put a pencil in to poke out the corners

 make the holder

sew the holder on

 sewing the square spiral

finished product...not quite square but I am happy with my first attempt

close up of square spiral, white would have been more defined, but who wants to really see imperfections? ;O}

scarf

I have been wanting to make one of these scarfs for awhile now and since I have plans to go north this coming Friday it is now time that I will need one. I started with 1/3 yard of black fleece. {I had looked at more interesting colors/patterns, but my jacket is white, with some red and black...decided black was my best choice. Discovered that there are so many shades of red.} I cut it in half and laid the 2 pieces on top of each other and sewed down the middle. This was nerve wracking for me to make sure that it stayed straight but it was actually quite simple.













Now onto a half inch from the middle on the right.













1/2 inch from the middle on the left.

I then laid it out and cut every 2 inches on each side.

Here it is all completed sporting it with my coat.
