Baby Gifts
Lots of new babies are entering my circle of friends! It is so exciting & working on baby projects is so fun! This is a soft blanket with ribbon tags. Babies like to feel the different sizes and textures of the ribbons.
A new use for cloth diapers...cute burp cloths that can be rolled up and taken on the go!
Halloween Goodie Bags
Sweet Harmony
This is another Amy Butler bag (http://www.amybutlerdesign.com/)! Each side of the bag has a large outside pocket. The inside of the bag has a large zippered pocket and a large divided pocket.
Sunflower Pillow
I love this pillow! This is an Amy Butler (http://www.amybutlerdesign.com/) pattern & I have really become a huge fan of hers! Front: Back:
Anything Goes In It Bag and Snap Happy Bag
These were fun bags to make! On the left is the Anything Goes In It Bag & on the right is the Snap Happy Bag. This bag has a zip closure. It would be a perfect pencil case or for makeup brushes. This bag "snaps" open. It is actually made using cut pieces of a measuring tape. The opening is flexible but will stay shut. I had never thought of using this technique for a sewing project.
Bloom & Border Pillow
How this all came about...
I have always loved doing crafts! I started by making Christmas presents for my family members when I was young. I moved into scrapbooks (Creative Memories: www.creativememories.com) when I was in high school. At some point I had seen a t-shirt quilt and fell in love with it. I started saving t-shirts and decided that at some point I wanted to learn how to sew well enough to make a t-shirt quilt. I am a firm believer that everything happens for a reason, even if at the time you have no idea what the reason is. After Nick & I got married I changed jobs sort of as a fluke. In my new department I met some of my best girlfriends out here...Kim, Erin, Sarah, and Kathy. I also met a lady named Deb who is a sewer and is friends with a woman who owns a sewing store (The Bernina Connection: www.berninaconnection.com). So she brought me in, I signed up for some classes, and the rest is history! The Bernina Connection is such a great place! Everyone is so friendly and helpful, they have great classes, and all of the supplies you need (especially helpful if you forget something you need for class!). I decided to make this blog to include the recent projects I have been working on. Most of them are sewing related, but some aren't. Enjoy :0)
