Grandma Ginny's Attic

Current sewing/craft projects and favorites from my "attic."

Monday, January 3, 2011

A number of years ago, my husband gave me a Curling Iron case from Travelsmith. My daughter had commented on it several times. I used my original one as a pattern and made these for my daughters and granddaughters. They are lined with Thinsulate, and the outside pocket holds the cord. I included the following card with them:

"Curling Iron's too hot and it's time to pack?
Not to worry...here's a handy sack.
No need to wait for it to cool down.
Just tuck it in and head out of town!"

I googled travel theme fabric and came up with "Italian Stamps" and "Paris Landmarks," which I ordered from J&O Fabrics in NJ (www.Jandofabrics.com).

Where did you buy the thinsulate? Can you describe it a little clearer? The local fabric stores where I live don't sell it, they do sell insulbright which seems too thick. I bought some insulate online at Seattle Fabric (200 weight) but it seems too thick too and there doesn't seem to be a reflective layer. I appreciate any help you can give me. Graet project!

About Me

Ginny Axtell
My first serious sewing was geared towards children's clothes and budget drapes and accessories for the home. When my grandchildren arrived, I expanded to costumes. The culmination of this experience was a Willy Wonka Edwardian jacket that my grandson wore to his Senior Prom. Recently, I discovered quilting. While I've made two baby quilts and prepared one queen-size top for quilting, I prefer smaller projects. Here you'll find some of my recent efforts interspersed with favorites from "my attic."
