Halloween!!

2010-10-30T11:16:00.000-07:00

There are lots of cute fabric pumpkins. I made a dozen out of scraps.

Here is an easy tutorial.
Then comes the fabric candy corn.

Fat Quarter Baby Quilt

2010-10-29T20:32:00.000-07:00

I saw this super cute, simple quilt. here

And made one like it for my friend. Love this fabric. It was really easy, & I think looks great.

Ruffle skirt

2010-02-21T14:13:00.001-08:00

Find the instructions here. Super easy!! I love it. My first time I've made clothes that I will actually wear.

T-shirt & quilt

2010-02-21T13:42:00.000-08:00

T-shirt to peasant top refashion with elastic thread. Before- plain t-shirt that's too big.
After- I cut a little too much from the top to stay modest, took a lot off the bottom & sides. You just need elastic thread. Super easy after I figured that my sewing machine couldn't do the stitch. Electronic machines don't do elastic thread. Darn it, just gave away my old machine. I'll do more of these with all my shirts I never wear cause they don't fit.

My first free motion quilt. I messed up on one side. You can see where my fingers can go under the edge. Whoops. But it turned out well other than that side.
All my crazy lines.

Lounge Pants

2010-01-18T10:04:00.001-08:00

Tessa is learning to sew. She made some great jama pants for herself & sisters. I made some for the boys. They were super duper easy. I mean it. Anyone can do these.

Here is the tutorial we used.

Cake pops

2010-01-18T09:55:00.000-08:00

I saw these online. Super cute.

Of course I had to try them even though

I knew they wouldn't turn out as well as hers at bakerella.

They were tasty.

A little messy.

I forgot to take pics of the finished product.

I made plain green ones cause that's what was on clearance at Wal Mart.

But they were enjoyed at Nate's nursery for his bday.

Homemade Christmas 2009

2010-01-04T17:46:00.000-08:00

To help me keep track of the things I do each year, I'm gonna post some stuff I made for Christmas gifts this year. I tried to make something homemade for everyone.

Some monogrammed letter towels. I kinda wish I had used a different font for the "H" but I was doing them about an hour before I gifted them. So straight was the easiest & fastest route.

I made some scarves for my SIL girlies. Here are 3, I forgot to take pics of the 3 before I sent them out. They are made with that fun fur. Tip, don't buy it at craft stores. Keep an eye out for them at the Dollar Stores.

Some more name towels. The stitching gets easier as you go.

Something like my 5th batch of necklaces. They are just too much fun. This is the website I liked for instructions.
A quilt I made for my Mom. It's HUGE. It is also the most complicated thing I think I have ever made. I'm super scared to quilt it. I finished the top a good 3 or 4 months ago. I want to free motion quilt it, but need to practice on another one first. Wish me luck!

Some cute stuff

2010-01-04T17:31:00.000-08:00

Table runners sound like fun. I would love to decorate my table, but it gets destroyed at least 4 times a day. Seems like a lot of work. But a runner, especially if I can toss it in the wash. Again, wanting one for every holiday. Instructions.

Garland. I want some for every occasion.
Great for everyday hanging. Magnetic instructions.
Hello! Gorgeous. Tutorial here.
I so want to do one of these. But picking a picture is hard.

My Christmas wish list

2010-01-04T17:09:00.000-08:00

Below was my try. Next time I will use ribbon for handles.

I LU-o-VE these. See it here.

Before & After

2009-05-15T09:12:00.000-07:00

My SIL gave me this cute little number. When I put it on Charly, it was too short:( So I took some scraps & added to it. It doesn't match that great, but I think it's super cute!

Apron

2009-05-14T19:45:00.001-07:00

I saw this apron when searching for a pattern. I totally fell in love it. You can find it here. I changed a few things. The straps. No front ties, measurements are different. And since I can't follow a pattern for anything, I'm sure I put it together wrong. But they still look good!

This is the one I made for Cheryl.

For Lisa.

Mine. I love it. Although I think I'm afraid to get it dirty. When I was doing the dishes, I would dry my hands off on a towel instead of my apron.

Above is my old Vic's apron I use all the time. I found some super cute material to match, tore off the original pockets, added the new stuff & some on the bottom. Love it!

Below are the one's I made for my nieces' last Christmas. I saw the idea at Apple Hill last year. Super cute. Just grab some overalls at D.I. & you can make 2 from one set.
