Perfect for squirreling away nuts and other treasures! (Don't you love that vintage acorn fabric?)
I made this last week for a friend's bridal shower gift. I am very pleased with how it turned out, but I'm not going to lie... It was a huge pain in the acorn to make. I almost threw it (and my sewing machine) out the window a few times. I think I discovered a whole new (ugly, terrifying) side of myself. I am a self-taught sewer, and I have long suspected that my ways of doing things are not always the easiest or most efficient. I have always avoided designs that would mean sewing in a zipper on a curved seam out of fear. Now that I've done it once, maybe it will be easier. Is there a simple trick to this that I don't know about? Probably. I would appreciate any tips from more seasoned stitchers! Anyway, I hope to make some more of these soon, preferably without the Hulk-rage.
I hope everyone is enjoying a lovely Autumn! (Or Spring, of course, for any readers in the southern hemisphere.) I am annoyed & disappointed in myself for missing the big 12-county fair that ended this past weekend... I really should pay better attention, especially during my favorite season! I'm thinking next weekend will be perfect for corn maze-ing and pumpkin patch-ing, though.
Back soon with more progress!
