I've been working on a mystery project... actually, there's no real mystery, more of a I-can't-
believe-I'm-actually-making-one-of-these moments ;)
Here is the story...
It was my Aunt's birthday and I, with no idea what to give her, asked if there was something
she wanted. She said that she's been looking everywhere for 'something' without luck, and
would I be able to make her one? Of course I said yes...
She wanted it in red and grey, so I started by block printing the base layer of the design...

Then I did an overprint in the red so that it would stand out...

I sewed some layers of backing to the pieces because they'd need a bit of structural integrity
to fullfil their purpose...

And embroidered some red around some of the motifs to give it a bit more 'pop' :)
These aren't really clues, are they? Well, I can tell you that it's rectangular 3D shape...

It also needed a little 'handle' at the top so it could be lifted off... so I guess the second clue
is that it's purpose is to cover something...

I'm sure the excitement is just too much, so I'll confess that, yes, this week I actually made a
toaster cover.......... you don't see them much these days ;)

I hope my Aunt likes it :)
