Today my Dear Jane quilt had a ride in the washer......

it came out perfectly clean.... :-)

The last little quilt I made....as you can see...it was hot here in Luxembourg....

Shoe bags

This bags I sewed a few days ago. The fabric is an old shower curtain....
This bags hold my shoes in the suitcase..........

I will not give you measurements because I don't know the length of your feet ;-)
....

fold your rectangle in half RIGHT side out! and pin..

close the two open sides with an 1/8" seam......

turn the bag and press fingerpress the two seams....

sew another seam on the two sides (1/4") , to hide the raw edges on the right side of the bag......
........

cut two strips 2" wider than your bag and 3" high.......

on one small side double fold an sew.....

mark with a pin the opposite side of the seam.......

sew the stripe one of the strips on your bag beginning in the middle (pin)....

sew just to the seam (or to the pin) ,let enough fabric to fold it twice, cut the excess fabric and sew in place..............

..........

the same with the second stripe....

sew the folded seams on both stripes.....
