Sewing projects

I've been busy with lots of sewing project recently.  My range finder case was a tricky one, and after 1 use on the golf course, the back of the cover kept rubbing against this metal rod of my golf bag and was causing the jean fabric to fray!  So before it got any worse, I decided to patch it up with one of my old sponsor logos. Ha!

Yes, my sponsor was actually the Sabah Tourism Board, from my hometown of Kota Kinabalu:

In the meantime, here's my little project for a longer skirt.  I made a couple of pockets for it, from one of many of Graham's old jeans. He keeps putting holes in them, especially near the groin area.  Not sure how he does that all the time!

I'm also attempting to hem the skirt, making it a bit shorter.  Charlie did say it was a bit short, but when I said that I was going to use leggings underneath, he said ok.  Too funny!

Another look at the pockets:

I have another skirt with big side pockets like these, and they have been very handy when I'm out on the golf course, during the kids' practices - hence, the idea for this plain skirt.

And here's my hem progress.  Not too bad!  I must say I was a bit nervous when I was trimming off the excess fabric.  I wasn't sure how much the fabric would fray and thankfully it was ok!

I was actually planning on ironing on one of these butterfly patches - just to give it a pop to the skirt.  Well, the patch did not want to stick!  

And weirdly enough, a few days later, a friend of mine was wearing a cap that had some sort of logo where there were 2 tees stuck underneath it.  And it totally gave me the idea to do the same!  can you see the little tee holes?

Ta da!!!

I'll have to take a selfie of me with the skirt on at some point :-)

In the meantime, I found a great deal in a retail store last week.  Can you believe it... only $0.97!!

I just have to figure out how to coordinate with this fabric.  Ha ha!

We were only suppose to go to the store to buy Graham a new pair of jeans as they were on sale.  And over $100 later... with 2 new pairs of joggers for Charlie as well as this skirt, plus an additional dress for me.  Yeah, I just had to ;-P
