I am on a roll. I've made three tape measures this last week. I made up a tape measure kit a few years ago. It was hard because it was over one and I hadn't done much over one work.
I use this one alot. Then in an Inspirations issue, they showed a bunch of tape measure covers that were gorgeous. I meant to try one. Many were embellished with silk ribbon flowers. I don't know why but I like tape measure covers. I got a couple of kits on Vendor night at the retreat as well as the Pansy tape measure cover.
This tape measure matches the Berry Thief needlebook I made. I'm not sure I like how it is put together. The end of the tape measure is stuffed into that strawberry on top. A little awkward. The strawberries along the edge are appliqued felt pieces with french knots on top. I haven't done that technique before but it turned out okay.
This tape measure is so easy and I love the blue rose. It has ribbon around the edge.
This one is my favorite. So cute. And it will match A Tisket A Tasket box. But I just realized that I forgot the little navy blue dot in the middle of the pansy one. So I am trying it again with Hand Dyed Fibers and changing a stitch here and there. I want the leaves to be more round instead of three straight stitches.
I had a lot of fun stitching these and they aren't hard to put together either.

Well done. They are all beautiful- each in their own way
