Train Case - Thought I would make this train case, which is a project from Husqvarna, for my young niece who wants to be an actress. It turned out pretty nice, but I found it quite fiddly with all the layers and very stiff interfacing (never used that before). I couldn't get it flat enough to go under the head of my machine and keep it under the presser foot to complete the seams, which was frustrating. I probably made it more difficult by using a stiff canvas fabric & a vinyl lining as well. But, I didn't give up, and here is the end result. Hope you like it.

Very nice work!! your niece should love and cherish it!!

I hope so, thank you.

Your vanity-case is super! i love the design. Congratulations ! I have done a lot of them in different size for electric iron,clothpins, makeup for my daughter who is student. The more difficult was the first one , then I used an extensible fabric sticked with iron on a fleece fabric with vinyl as lining and so the seams were not so difficult to sew and I even can quilt too. Thank you for sharing and amitiés de France.

Thank you. The instructions call for using fusible fleece on the lining, but since I used vinyl I omitted the fleece. It also said to quilt the top & bottom panels, but I thought those were already stiff enough so I just assembled the smooth pieces. The size is great, and can be used for many purposes. I would love to see some of yours if you have photos.

Cuties, please click on other Cuties flowers (to water). I just gave all below a flower and as I was clicking, I saw that some had only a third of what they should have. ...Pity, as our summer is hot & dry enough.

Thanks Toogie. You should try one. It's a big size, and your grandchildren could use it to keep their little treasures, some toys or crayons and markers.

That is adorable. Is there a web site for the pattern? I really like your choice of fabric and design.

Thank you!

Beautiful work and useful too!
If I can give you a recommendation about very simple and great image program (free): IrfanView. It is very simple to use, you can easily rotate, resample your image (just a "R" button for rotation of an image and "S" to save). You can cut and paint too. Or what I love: It is very easy to save image screenshots of your PC. This is a for me a very simple way to save any image from the internet.

Thank you so much. My post was done on a cell phone, and everything looked as it should when I loaded the photos. I finally got home and looked at my laptop, and that's when I saw things were upside down. I think I got them turned upright now. Thanks for the info on the image program.

You did a great job. I love it.

Thanks, I hope she likes it. With the exception of having to wrestle with the rigid interfacing, it was actually a fun project.

Persistence paid off. It turned out excellent.

Most excellent...she will love it...was this done in-the-hoop or put together with your sewing machine?

Thanks. The embroidered lipstick design is the only part done in the hoop. The rest is a sewing project.
