Arm Chair Caddy

WHOOP WHOOP!!!!!  I am SOOO EXCITED!  Look what I made?!?!?!?!  It's a sewing arm chair caddy!  I'm thinking back and I really think this is the FIRST thing that I sew'd!!  Most people who quilt know how to sew too - NOT ME!  I never learned how to sew (stuff, clothes etc)... but for some reason quilting (simple quilting) is do'able for me!!!  Sewing is a WHOLE OTHER ANIMAL!!  LOL  Cutting out patterns etc -it's just different - at least it is to me!  :)  Anyway - needless to say - I AM quite excited about this.  I joined a lady's blog that is a friend of Mommy's named Liz. She started this "Sewing Room Sew Along" on her blog.  Every month we are going to sew something different and this is the first month!! 

OK -- two things I am going to mention. The first is to relieve my conscience  (LOL).....  Mommy came over today to help me learn how to do this project!  She guided me through each step - BUT I REALLY DID DO IT on my own  :)  Without her help though - I would probably be still reading the directions saying  "huh"?  LOL    And second,  I KNOW I KNOW that the binding is really bad - but it's my first binding on a curve!!  LOL  That is MUCH harder for an inexperienced sewer!  :) 

I am going to attach pictures here so you can see!  I made mine to blend with the livingroom instead of my quilt room because it is intended to be used on a chair - like while you are away from your sewing machine!!  LOL

Chocolate Brown, Olive and Deep Red

 (The arms on my chair are kinda fat)  LOL

I'm pretty excited about the decorative stitching on the red trim here too!
