ACU Easter Basket

Made for a customer - she wanted gender neutral.  It is going to be a give away prize filled with candy.  Went out to the APO address on Monday. For all those who don't know ACU is Army uniform.

Trying to Sell the House

We are trying to sell our house and move to Portland, Oregon.  I am keeping my sewing room clean and organized it is somewhat of a pain in the ass.  When I am done working in there, I clean everything up and put away my project.  So now I don't want to sew as I don't want to pull everything out. I have a couple Etsy orders to get out this weekend.  We have "open house" on Sunday another day I can't sew.  At least we are getting people to look, which is encouraging in this market. I have received comments my sewing room is "cluttered".  There is only so much I can hide by the screen.  A girl has to have her fabric you know.

I signed up for the Quilted Basket swap on Quilting Gallery so I better get busy and make a practice one at least.

Recent creations from my sewing room - custom order for the apron and the little dress is for my granddaughter in Hawaii. 

Wrap & Go Carrier

I made this last weekend and just now getting around to posting it.  I didn't have the correct size casserole dish for the photo, but now I do.  This was very easy to make - I am in the process of making one for a 9x13 pan out of cupcake fabric.  Future holiday gifts with maybe a cookbook and dish inside. 

Finished Wall Hangings

The top is a BOM embroiderer wall hanging I started last year.  The sunflower little wall hanging is from a Pat Sloan machine quilting book.  I went out of my comfort zone with the machine quilting.  I like how it turned out. I have two more quilt tops to quilt, kid size and one more lap size Pat Sloan one to finish.

Barbie Bag & Pillowcase

I promised to make a little bag for my granddaughter to take to her ballet class.  Big enough for shoes and a water bottle.  This measures 9.5 high by 10 wide at the top.  I made a hard bottom insert so it stays up nice.  I had to make something for her brother, so I found this fish fabric and matched it up with some orange (his favorite color).  Grandma almost wanted to keep it for herself. 

More Poop or Deux Bags

I made these four bags today.  One black and white one is sold and the other three are four sale.  They will be going up soon on my Etsy site.  

Snack Bags



I made six Eco friendly/reusable snack bags today.  The cupcake bags are all a little different, I tried different methods and finally found one with number four.  The Arctic ones were easy, just added a flap as I used directional fabric.  The craziness in me said I didn't want the flap to have upside down heads.  I used ripstop nylon for the inside in all of them.  I put some sale candy in there as they are going for gifts this weekend. The candy was 75% off at Target, score!

E-Reader /Kindle / Nook Cover Guitar

Made this for a friend and have plenty more of this guitar fabric if anyone out there needs a Kindle/Nook/E-Reader cover. 

Wristlet & Stroller Bag

Up-Cycled Corduroy Wristlet 

Cowboy vintage look Click & Go Stroller Bag available on my Etsy shop. The wristlet was made from a pair of corduroy pants I found at the thrift shop.  Washed of course, I like the look of washed/worn corduroy.

Catching up from weekend sewing.

Reversible grocery totes.

I made two of these also from this cute fabric.

The is the back side of the Dachshund Poop or Deux Bag. 

Four draw-string bags made for a friend, long overdue.  She send me the fabric before Christmas and I just got around to making them.  Now to get them in the mail... Might be longer Joyce.

No sewing tonight, my back is acting up.  One of my Poop or Deux Bags sold at an upscale pet shop.  The owner took three on consignment, I go back tomorrow and see if she wants anymore or if the other two sold.  Very exciting! I know, I lead a boring life. 

The reusable grocery totes were super easy to make.  Trying to use up my stash.  As always, click on the pictures to make them bigger.
