Hat for Isabella.

Hat for Elizabeth.

Dress for Tina.

Dress for Elizabeth.

Tina works for a publishing company. The books are sewing/crafting, with all you need to know to make each item.  She asked me to make a dress for her, and her daughter Elizabeth.  She wanted a hat for her other daughter, so I suggested one for Liz, as well. She agreed.  All the items turned out very nice. I hope all 3 of them will be pleased.

As you all know by now, Isabella has a thing for “Yo Gabba Gabba”. She is in need of a skirt this time. The wait is over, honey. This is for you!

Found a fun, silky fabric at work. A remnant that was so cheap, I had to have it. Nat has a new office, and is in the process of decorating. This is perfect for some pillows. Ta daa!!!!

Isabella, and her sister need totes to carry their things back and forth from daycare.  Well, need no more. Consider them done!

Apron patterns seem to be finding me lately.  I don’t usually wear them except at my job, and washing dishes at family dinners. But, I am drawn in by the cuteness of them. I recently made two, and I am pleased with the results.  One has a “50’s” flair, and the other is a “flapper”.  Both take very little fabric, and are reasonably easy to make.  The curves are a little tricky, but overall, not bad. The “flapper” I made double faced/ reversible.  Twice as much cuteness in one apron!

My aunt gave me a storage box that I like, and use, but hate how it looks. I moved it out of the kitchen because of that. Well, I decided it needed to be closer to my sewing area. The only way that would happen, is if I changed it’s look.    I added  a little extra foam on the top to make it  more comfy for sitting. I think it will house my “over flow” of fabric nicely.

Ugly!

Pretty!

Jeffery has been after me to make tank tops for him for months!  I decided a prototype or two, would be a good thing to do.  The first was not quite right.  I think the second one,( the gray one,)  is  going to be closer to what he wants.  I threw in a pair of boxers, just because!

The first group of scarves turned out so nice, I made a few more. What a great way to get use of something that has been sitting idle for years. Not a bad use for a small amount of knit. Quarter yard or so, and whalaa!!!  An awesome, new, fabulous, fashion statement. (-;
