Finished a project .... mostly

I finally finished a comforter cover that I was working on for my Dad. Unfortunately it doesn't count as an old project since I only started it in February. I need to make sure that it's the right size (I had his old one to measure and go by), and then I can make the second one. The new machine did great. I used a triple stitch for the seams (so he hopefully can't tear a seam open), and then serged the seams to keep them from fraying. I used velcro for the opening. I had thought of maybe using buttons, but the iron-on velcro was easier.

Next on the list ... I have to finish matching bag purses for me and Kelley in time for a sci-fi convention in two weeks. They are denim with silver stars and silver strap. I need to sew on gold buttons that look like stars and moons and put a gold cord on for the closure.

I'll start taking some pictures of these things. It'll be good to see my progress in pictures.
