Skinny Pinnie - Received!

We are closing out our 
By now, everyone should be mailing
and receiving their finished pinnies.

As the "swap mama" I had the luxury
of choosing my partner,
and I selected the lovely and talented
Beverly, of golfingbev on Flickr.

Look what came in the mail for me,
courtesy of Beverly!


There is so much goodness in here,
starring the most adorable...
and petite...skinny pinnie,
composed of teeny tiny hexagons!


See that needle book in the background?
It's made to match the pinnie,
that I must try someday soon.

{Sigh...}

There are little treasures I'd never seen before,
such as Japanese zippers...
with French sayings...



Or little cherry zip pulls!



There are Japanese sewing and crafting goodies galore
in this little stack of sweetness.
I love each one to bits!

{Everything was all bundled up with bits of Washi tape!}



There was something old...vintage feedsacks!


And something new...this handy Seam-Fix
seam ripper with a little thing on top
for picking up the snips of thread.

{Of course I may never need to try that tool, since I'm such a perfect stitcher. Ahem...}



There are more fabric samples, too...
little teapot prints I had admired on Bev's Flickr site...




and even a Glamping mini charm pack!

{Can you find it, among all of the treasures?}



And look at this darling little tag!



I first noticed Beverly's sewing talents
during the Zakka Along 2.0 Patchwork, Please sew along.
Beverly has a distinctive style,
mixing bits of fabric to create detailed treasures
that leave me breathless.

Check out her photostream, and you will see what I mean!

Thank you, Beverly, for spoiling me rotten!

{I will be able to trace my new Japanese sewing fixation to this magic moment.}

  3. Amy...blush...thank you for all the praises!! I feel so honored that you put my work on your blog! I am still in amazement and probably won't sleep tonight! I have had a wonderful year of learning about Zakka style sewing and quilting....starting with Ayumi. I hope that I can keep meeting more wonderful sewers on line. It has been a pleasure. Thank you for organizing the swap because it is things like this that help beginners like me get involved and learn to love sewing!

  4. Wonderful swap partner you had! Except the seam ripper, unnecessary but nice :), all other things are charming and I think you'll spend some time to admire all and make plans!!!

  5. What a wonderful treasure trove. I bet it took you ages before you even got to photograph it as you were examining each and every item. Every single one of those items, including the seam ripper for me sadly as well, is totally covetable. This lovely haul just proves bloggers are the best.
