I've been doodling again.

I've seen some people doodling on shoes and tote bags lately,

so I had to give it a go. I didn't have any of the items, but lots and lots of fabric, so I found some meant for lining curtains and used that. I had to buy some fabric markers, and get started.

I didn't plan anything, so this is wonky and not usable as I see it. I've left it as is, and won't be using it.


Next try I planned a bit more, and I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out.






It's a case for my eye glasses. They're fun to make, easy and quick done.
It was kind of hard to know how close to the lines I should put the color down, because the markers bleed a bit. I did make a drwaing on paper first, so I have the patterns and can easily make the same over again.




I had to try even one more time, but I'm not sure I should have. I don't know where my mind was while drawing this, but apparently it was not with me.



I should at least have mirrored the right side flowers, but this is how they are. Drawing with micron pen on top of the fabric. My pencil drawing shines through, so it was easy to transfere it.

Below is how it looked after coloring.



Next two photos shows the finished case. First I sewed a row of buttonhole stitches and then I crochet it together. Easy as that.




 Fun project, easy to make and I have a case for my eye glasses that nobody else have. We can't ask for more, can we?
I'll share this with Paint Party Friday.
Thanks for visiting.
