Island Batik Hot Stuff Challenge

This month Island Batik Ambassadors were challenged to decorate a mini Oliso Iron Carry Bag that fits the M3Pro Mini Iron.  This M3Pro is my new favorite Iron.  I use it all the time.  Even for my long seams.  It's the perfect size for my hand and doesn't get too heavy. 
  

I started my project with a blank bag, some Wonder Under, a few Island Batik Flutter Wings scraps and some printed swirls and paisley shapes to use as my templates.

I fused the wonder under to the back of my Island Batik Scraps and taped my shapes on top and cut them out.  It was faster than tracing them on the wonder under that way.

I fiddled around with different layout and came up with what you see now.

I decorated each side similar yet different

These Flutter Wings scraps from Island Batik match perfect with the orange zipper and orange stitching on the caddy.

I found places to use all the shapes I cut out

Even on the inside of the caddy.

I like how there is an opening at the front of the caddy for the silicon mat to poke out.

Now I am all spiffied up for traveling with my mini iron!

Thanks for stopping by and Happy Sewing!

Rascal the Raccoon - A Funky Friends Factory and Island Batik Collab

 

How fun is this little guy?  He is a Rascal the Raccoon, a pattern by Funky Friends Factory.

This month Island Batik Ambassadors were asked to make a stuffed animal from any of the Funky Friends Factory patterns and I choose Rascal.  He reminds me of all the raccoons I see around here!

I had the perfect pieces for Rascal from the Forest Flora fabric line, an Island Batik Collection by Deb Tucker of Studio 180 Designs.

I used three of the different browns for the body and solid black for his accents.

This fabric line had some cute mushrooms on it, perfect for a foraging critter.

At first I thought I might have gone to light with his face, but with the mask on the contrast is perfect!

His stuffed feet and tail help him stand up all on his own.

Look at those cute mushrooms in his tail.  They lined up perfectly!

He's ready for his adventure at the park.

Looking for a good tree to climb.

He was fun to sew together.  The pattern was easy to follow and had a link to some photos which were helpful when I got to the fiddly parts. 

All the pieces sewed together nicely with a Schmetz 90/14 needle.

 

Stop by the other Ambassadors social pages to check out the critters they sewed this month!

Thanks for stopping by and Happy Sewing!
