When I first looked through the Zakka Style Sewing book, I was not particularly drawn to this project. I was tempted not to make it, but as I've kept up with all the others, I just couldn't let it pass without giving it a try. And, as it turns out -- I kind of like it!

This was the first week with students back at school, so I'm glad the Zakka project was a quick and easy one. For my Zakka friends -- I did put this together the "easy" way by using spray glue, rather than doing the ladder stitch on the back to secure the fabric.

LRStitched and would love to be drawn for the prize this week (as I'm sure about 25 or 30 others would!) It's a $75 gift certificate to the Fat Quarter Shop! Sounds like a fun give-away.
