Dave’s sister had a birthday recently. He wanted to do something special for her. A tote is a nice gift. What about making it from licensed fabric of one of her favorite teams? What a good idea! He found Patriots fabric online. I had the perfect color fabric for the lining in my collection of fabrics. A nice woven belting, and we are good to go. It turned out nice, and sis loves it!

I made a chisel holder for my brother a while back. One of his friends saw it, and wanted one for himself. He contacted me VIA my brother. We worked out the details, and I began to work my magic! I am very pleased with the results. I hope Ryan is as well. I have these down to a science. : ) All materials are re-purposed, well, except for the thread.

Angel recently purchased two panels of grafitti print cotton to be used for wall cover/ what ever you want..??? Possibilities are endless. She wanted two curtains, two pillow covers and a set of pillow cases made from the fabric. I was pleased to do it for her. They turned out great!
Pillows for Andrea

Andrea bought some pillow covers that were fabulous, but to big for the pillows she wanted to cover. She wanted them downsized, and fold over closures. No problem! I was happy to do that for her. Great pattern, and colors in the fabric. I am pleased with the outcome, and so is Andrea! : )
Totes for Karen

Karen acquired a nice sized collection of upholstery swatches recently. She wanted to do something creative with them. Not being a sewer herself, she asked if I would be willing to take them and make something wonderful with them. Totes, perhaps? They would make nice Christmas gifts. Of course, I was more than willing, and able to do so. Here are a few
I have put together. 
Ruffled diaper cover and really cute shoes!

Asha’s friend had a baby recently. A girl! Yay!!! Every girl needs a ruffled diaper cover and a new pair of shoes. So, aunt Nancy made that happen.
The red liner is completely removable. I didn’t like the seam on the inside of the shoe, and wanted to cover it some way to make it look nicer, and feel better on baby’s feet. If mom doesn’t care for it, no problem. Just take it out.

Tina asked recently, if I would make a dress for Isabella. She has a new favorite character, Tinkerbell. I agreed. It is a wrap dress, with pleats and completely lined! I know, lots of detail. It looks great, and I hope Isabella likes it. 
The deluxe model!

The first chisel holder was such a success, I was asked to make another. This one with strapping, buckles, and a handle. I was up for the challenge. A couple of pant legs from an old pair of Levi’s, two parachute buckles, and some belting was all I needed to make it happen. I am jazzed about this project. I think my brother will be pleased,and pleasantly surprised! He has no idea I am making this one. It’s between Laurie, and me. He ha! We are sneaky!!! 🙂
A chisel holder for Tim.

At Easter dinner, there was a detailed discussion between my brother Tim and I about making a chisel holder. He drew a picture, I wrote down measurements, and notes for myself. I finally started working on a prototype the other day, but I needed a chisel to help me with some of the details. Tim showed up today with a holder he has, and really likes. It was very similar to the prototype! We chatted a bit more, I agreed to do the job,and he likes
my price. I am pleased with it. I hope it holds up!
Obviously these tools are not chisels, but you get the idea.
Prototype revisted.

Usually when I make something for Jeff, and make a prototype, I give it to him and he uses it. This time that didn’t happen. Not sure why, it just didn’t. Well, I was thinking, why am I keeping it? I can’t wear it. Probably won’t use the fabric for anything. I decided to finish it properly, and give it to him. He has no idea, yet! It turned out rather nice. It is a bit bright, but that’s ok. It would be perfect for Halloween if he dresses as a bar tender. I didn’t put the mini pockets, and I used some hardware on the ties in the back. Wanted to switch it up a bit from the black one. I know he will be pleased, and totally surprised. Ha! Got ya!
