More Drink Bottle Carriers and a turtle!

This past week I didn't make anything 'new' for the school carnival stall - but just made some more of the Water Bottle Carriers I made and produced a tutorial for last week.

I used more of my clothes stash - a pair of dark green 3/4 pants, an old white sports shirt for the padding, a couple of left over pockets from previous jeans projects and some co-ordinating fabric from my stash.

From these I made 2 more Bottle Carriers:

Then I used a pair of black jeans, an animal print skirt, and more pockets and coordinating fabric scraps to make 3 more.

These are nice and simple to make. I managed to use the waistband of the animal print skirt for the straps on both those carriers - and one pocket on each carrier too.

I will be making more of these Water Bottle Carriers for the school stall and intend to sell them complete with water bottle so people can fill them up and start using them straight away!

I also had one more thing to sew at the weekend - a request from my younger daughter for a turtle softie for the school environmental club. This turtle was just made from fabric in my stash. The head, flippers and tail are remnants from the fabric I used to re-cover our dining room chairs, and the green was a remnant from a charity shop.

I made one of these a couple of months ago from the clothes for the school carnival stall, You can see that one here! 

Next week I'll have more to share of something else upcycled for 

the school stall.

And do come back tomorrow and the rest of this week when I'll be looking at another theme for Christmas Shouldn't Cost the Earth. 

I'll be linking this post to many of the fabulous linky parties whose pretty buttons can be found on the bottom of this page and direct links on my linky party page.

Summer Ice?

How can this occur?

Last week I received a great question from my friend, Simon, in Tasmania. Simon says....

"I recently returned from a trip to Apia, Samoa. After boarding in Apia for our evening flight to Auckland, my seat-mate drew my attention to the wing of the 737-800. She was quite anxious, as she thought the discoloration on the wing might well be ice. Given that the outside temperature was 27'C, and the aircraft had been sitting on the tarmac for 50 minutes, ice was unlikely (to say the least). It was a clear evening as well, so there had been no rain in the vicinity of the airport. 

 

 

I couldn't really give an explanation as to what the white-ish areas were.. The main area seems to be towards the back of the wing, and the flaps. If anyone can help solve the mystery, I know it is you.. and my good friend has been worrying about this for the last 3 weeks! I know it is a very trivial question, so I say a huge thank-you in advance! :)

 

Thank-you again for your help.. and please feel free to chuckle as much as you want!

Best wishes from the West Coast of Tasmania.

Thanks again, Simon"

 

This is a GREAT question. No chuckling at all. 

Why do you think ice is forming 

in such warm temperatures (80.6 F)?

 

Enjoy the Journey!

A Round Tuit 273

Can you believe it's almost September? Where is the year going?
It's slowly creeping closer to Christmas and I'm really getting into the swing of my Christmas Shouldn't Cost the Earth project. 
Last week I looked at Christmas bags and made this cute snowman tote bag that I can use when I go Christmas shopping !

I also made myself a couple more Christmas handibags to put inside it, just in case I find lots to buy!!

Now let's see what you've all been up to!

--------------------------------------------------------

Welcome to this week's linky party. A place where you can link up your posts and creations, and be inspired by others.

Tuits are very hard to come by, especially the round ones. For years people have been saying, "I'll do it as soon as I get a round tuit". Well now you can have one of your very own, and all those jobs that have needed doing will finally get done!
