Fabulous Faux Fur

I will admit These did not come from the "Treasure Hunt" Room,

Remember we have the HOLIDAY SALE until New Years...
And when there is a coupon..Thursday through Mondays... if there is a coupon, it is 25% off and then the coupon.. 20 or 30%


I hate to be cold.... SOOOO I deserved this

Adding Tubs of Fur as Muff  Pockets on the front and So delectible and Reversible too or just a long fur scarf with pockets on the ends to slide your hands into more fur!


These muff pockets will be Black double sided Minkie


Pretty Sure I am Not Going to be Cold This Year...LOL

Adding Fur Pockets at the Side Seams Right NOW on both sides ... Soooo soft and Fabulous!!!  I used this pattern below and after making the tweed/sherpa coat added the fur sewn on one edge and flipped and hand sewn.

Three Quarters of a yard of fur did this border around the bottom and edging around the coat and sleeves

If you want a separate muffler scarf or big pockets you need an additional quarter yard.... sooo One full yard of fur.

The jacket itself takes 1 and 1/2 to 2 and 1/2 depending on your size and with 60 inch fabric.  There was only a small piece left so I had to improvise to get the coat I wanted.

Handwork on Pug Quillow

YES, I am finishing the Pug Quillow...I put off the handwork

I cannot put it off any longer... It is cold out





Can you tell the Pugs are Three Dimensional?.... so I am hand quilting each block  then free motion outline quilting each pug--before I do stitch in the ditch through the whole sandwich - The back is Minky








I am Not Stopping except to go to work until I
am done with this one!!






This is my new freemotion quilting foot to use with templates between the blocks
My machine is over 20 years old, but it is fabulous to me--Just think what YOU could do with a New Bernina or Brother That practically sews and embroiders without you!!!


Quillow Went home with the new Owner


Two squares left to make a pillow for Christmas


And the pillow is now done for Christmas present... One side Soccer and one side Motorcycle pugs

There was this Nuno Felting Christmas

Bought some  Silk from G Street and Merino Wool and Silk fibers are rolled into the silk scarf by wetting and using a Bubble Wrap sandwich between the dowel I rolled with and the wetted fibers on silk- They wore them at least once...hahaha- Merry Christmas laughing
