I made this hemp bracelet today for Brodie. i tihnk I am oging to remake it though. Its been al ong time since I've made one and I think I can do a better job for sure!
I made this for a friend's 3 year old. Unfortunately I made it about 5 sizes too big. The good news is that she can wear it for about 5 years. I also made a little purse to match and I had a patch that matched the skirt so I put that on the pocket of a teal t-shirt. If only I knew how to make shoes.
All I can say is laugh all you want! I was forced to make this scarpbook page for the wonderful wonderful nursery school teacher who isn't coming back next year. They asked each family to make one page to put in an album to give her. So brigth and early this morning Cooper, brodie and I went to Michaels and dropped $20 on cutesy things and fancy papers...Well, here is the end result. LOL doesn't help I don't know what the hell I'm doing! But ah well, its finished now :)
Seriously though, how can anyone afford to scrapbook?! I couldn't believe the prices!
I didn't want to haul my sewing basket camping so I made a pouch I could tuck into my luggage. I wanted it big enough to hold a few t's, threads, needlecase and embroidery scissors. I used the vinyl/fake leather we got for free from someone whose husband was retiring from the upholstery business. The cherries were made from an upholstery leather furniture sampler another friend gave me and the zipper is from a bag of zippers salvaged at Value Village. Total cost for me was about ten cents! It measures about 10 x 12 inches and it's waterproof if I forget it outside in the campsite and it rains.
I made this little cover so Cooperkins won't bonk his head on the back of the highchair. I loooooove having a wooden highchair. I'm pretty happy with the fabric matching chair/dining room. Not so happy with design, but I was winging it. Inside is a seperate pad with all the padding sewn in. I plan on making a few covers so it isn't a big deal if they get messy, practice makes perfect!
Bandage Bag. I can never find one when I hurt myself.
Cloth Grocery bag
Pinup Needlebook to store sewing needles in. Uh-oh, she burnt her muffins!
I am making these for sale, there are 4 felt pages inside for sewing needles, safety pins, etc. I have other pinups pictures or can customize with an image of your choice. 5$ plus any shipping.
I "frosted" the french doors so our dinnertime isn't a spectator sport for our neighbours and basically anyone who drives by. Slightly annoying at the beginning but wasy once you got the hang of it. Left a little undone at the top so if we need to we can spy outside without having to open the door :)
This bag measures approximately 16 x 14" and is 40$ plus any shipping costs. It is a blue linen embroidered with sequins and a white cotton lining. Pocket lined in blue linen. Comes with a wrist pouch (blue embroidered linen lined in lime green cotton) which clips into the bag. The top of the bag zips shut.
I tried to make a diaper pouch today to hold diapers and diaper wipes (so the diapers don't get all smooshed in the bottom of the bag). I thought it would be fabulously easy but it was a bit trickier than I thought.
This one looked good until I put the diapers in:
So I tried again but the top still looks funky when the diapers are in. I think I will try one later with panels on the sides and a flatter top.
And a pouch for a friend with some embroidery in the corner:
