The February project for Kelli and Finny's In Stitches Sew Along was the Bedside Organizer or the Sleeping mask with the theme of embellishment. I chose the Bedside Organizer. It's super cute in the photos. Here is what it was supposed to look like:
And here is what I got:
Not quite the same huh? Taking into account that I procrastinated until the last day of February, and that there was no more sun by the time I got home, I guess it's not too bad. Lesson learned here is that I need to take photos in natural light. Here are some more photos that I took.
Ahhh much better.
Those funny little blobs are corgis that were freezer paper stencil-ed on. I'm not really one for embellishing, so corgis it was. (By the way, Chris picked all the fabrics and the corgis). No, we don't have a corgi seeing how we don't live together, but some day :). Here's a close up of my favorite corgi.
All in all, not a bad project. I did mess up and got 72 when I added 29 to 53, but that was easily fixed. All straight lines.

Congratulations on your new blog and the successful completion of the February In Stitches Sew-Along. The organizer is so cute with the stencil designs.
Very nice!! :)
Nice addition to the In Stitches Sew Along, it looks great! Can't wait to see what Kelli and Finny have up their sleeves for March.
Thanks!! You guys are too nice. The Sew Along is great, and I can't wait for the March project to be announced!
Alright, Lynn. You are evil for my stash of books. I just had to purchase "In Stitches" after seeing your bedside organizer and I might follow the sew along silently. Great Blog!
opalesc - who says you have to be a silent lurker in the sew along? I'd LOVE to see the stuff you make! And I understand your book stash problem... I was looking at my book shelf yesterday and I think my quilting/crochet/knitting/sewing books take up most of the space!
