Seam 2 Rip

I have many scarves, but I never wear them. They hang in the closet on a hanger. Well, I was thinking, if I transformed them into “Infinity” scarves, maybe I would wear them.  I tried it on one, and liked it so much, I did the same to two more!  I also used a piece of knit, to make one fresh for my daughter.  She is as pleased with the result, as I am.

The pj’s were such a hit, Tina asked me to make a hoody  of flannel, with the same characters, but different print. I had already customized a pattern for the jammies, so I only had to create a hood. Not hard to do. I had it completed pretty quickly, even with taking out some seams. So, I am pleased with the time frame, and the result. I think Isabella will be doing a “dance of joy”.  I hope so!

Kids clothes are fun to make, and look so cute!

I received a picture of Isabella in her new pj’s.  She seems very pleased!   I like a happy client.  (-;

Tina asked if I would make a pair of pj’s for her daughter Isabella,  using  her favorite fabric. Of course I will!  This fabric is so cute, I wish I had some to make a pair for myself. Ha!!!!

I have  some strawberry print fabric that has been in my collection for years!  I decided to make a 50’s style apron from a pattern, rather than a kit, like I did before. Nothing says 50’s, and apron, like edible prints!  Not sure why,  it just does.  I am pleased as punch with this apron. (-;

Tina purchased a couple of yards of licensed fleece over a year ago, with the hopes of making a robe for her husband. Well, that didn’t happen. Lucky for me, she contacted me via my sewing ad on Craigslist, asking for help with the project. I accepted, gladly. Two yards wasn’t quite enough to make a robe. I advised Tina to purchase a couple more yards of a contrasting fleece to make up the difference.

Four and a half yards of fleece, and a week later, whalah!!!   A robe has been born. I think it looks nice. I hope Bob likes it!

I bought an apron kit a while back. I liked the print, the style, and I had not made an item from a kit before.  I thought I would check it out. Luckily, the kit was on clearance.  I don’t think I would have purchased it otherwise. (Just a tad to pricey for me.)

Audrey is taking some time off of work ,to have a hip replaced. She is creating a healing atmosphere for herself before she has her procedure. Decorative pillows are  a part of that.  She asked if I would do the sewing for her. She sews herself, but hasn’t the time right now. I agreed. She supplied the fabric, and the inserts. The rest was up to me.  I used “french seams” and “fold over” closures.  They look great!  I think Audrey will be pleased.

I decided to make a bear for Devon. I noticed she likes animal print.  I have some in my collection of fabric!  Lucky girl, that Devon. (-;   I dressed the bear like a ballerina. Not sure why, maybe it has something to do with Halloween coming up. I have a spool of tulle that was just the right width to make a tutu. I wanted it VERY thick. Yes, I succeeded.  Too cute, this bear. I hope she likes it.  I know I do.

I decided recently, it was time to start making Memory Bears again. I did it in the past, and I have the time, so why not? I am going to sew anyway, I might as well use my talent for a good cause, and make families happy.  The family member liked to cook, so I detailed two of the bears to reflect that.

I am pleased. I think the family will be as well.
