今天是英国的拜望双亲日，所以我为妈妈做了几件礼物，希望她会喜欢。

首先是钱包。我第一次尝试为妈妈做一个钱包不太顺利。However, I thought I could see how to fix what had gone awry, so I took a seam ripper to the failed attempt and rescued the zipped pockets, card pockets and magnetic snaps (important because I didn’t have any more suitable zips and no time to get replacements!). The first thing I did was to trim down the card pockets so that the total depth was much less, making the purse a bit more elegant. I also took about 1/4” off each side (after checking the width with a card), since I wasn’t planning to turn through and therefore didn’t need to allow for the seam bulk.

我重新做了衬里和外罩(幸运的是，我为外罩选择的新面料和红色衬里面料非常好!)

我使用了一些更牢固的接口为外层(可能有点太牢固，但它出来了)和中等牢固的接口为衬里。现在整件事都保持得很好。

我真的很高兴bob体育冠军我加入以前版本的外部拉链口袋，但并没有讨论对比条，所以我刚加入了外袋没有任何额外的装饰：

幸运的是，金色的拉链与我买的新面料很顺利！由于钱包的深度减少，我也使外袋也浅，但它仍然很漂亮。

内部口袋如前所述，但现在他们并非所有的扭曲就会变得更好！

希望还有足够的空间!

为了完成它，我用剩下的面料做了一些斜面装订(我不得不说，这并不是一项令人愉快的任务)，然后，在粘贴层在一起后，在整个钱包周围加上装订。唉，我还不太擅长机器装订。肯定是需要改进的地方。

我做的下一件事根本就不是计划好的，它只是……发生了!我有一大堆1 - 1/2”用黄色方块,奶油色和紫色遗留下来的几个不同的项目和我的邮票模板,因为我刚刚用了别的东西,所以我开始安排的广场上紫色的在一个角落里,黄色相反的角落和奶油之间:

它一定是为了工作，因为我只需要削减两个额外的方块，以制作10×10布局！Once I’d made the postage stamp patch, it told me it wanted to become a cushion, so I rootled out some more of the cream fabric from the scrap box, added borders to bring it up to a sensible size (16” square), and quilted it with simple diagonal lines. To add a bit of a twist, the quilting is partly yellow and partly purple, to match the respective corners:

这是一个我很满意的效果。一些简单的绗缝线围绕边界来框架它，和一个漂亮的信封从一些废料盒织物和我的惊喜靠垫封面完成了!

Mum seemed pleased with her presents, so that was a relief! It is quite a challenge crafting for someone you share a house with and who doesn’t really understand the concept of privacy…

与噢,废!和星期一的制作(当它的现场)。
