Yeti Cover

My husband and son are farmers.  Last year each received a 36 ounce Yeti as a gift.  My son wanted his covered so that it wouldn't get scratched from bouncing around in the tractor.  I made the Yeti covers from rip stop nylon and headliner foam-like fabric.  I quilted the two fabrics together, serged the side seam, and inset the bottom with the serger.  A little casing at the top and some 1/4 inch elastic and the cover is finished. They both like their Yeti cover.

Giant Yoyos?

One of my sewing friends saw this photo and asked what we were doing with giant yoyos.  Actually the Wednesday Sewing Group made surgical caps for children going into surgery at an area hospital.  One of the member's daughters suggested this project.  We started at 10:30 and by early afternoon we had made 110 caps.  Most are for kids but some are doll-size.  The doll-size are 12 1/2 inch circles and the kids-size are 18-20 inch circles.  There were lots of fun fabrics.  This is a project we may have to do again as everyone had a great time!
