Seam 2 Rip

My nephew brought fabric from Africa back in November 2019. He asked me to make shirts for him. I made 2 and delivered, but still had 4 to go. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, and being required to wear a face covering while in public,  he also asked for masks.  Done, and done.

Recently I was asked to make face masks for a husband and wife team.  Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, many people are wearing them on a regular basis while out running errands.  I have been prototyping with several ideas. I found one I like, and is very easy to make.

I made a prototype stuffed dragon a bit ago. I wanted to make another, more detailed and for gifting.

His name is Drake, and will be soon gifted to one of my besties!

                          So cute!

A little bird mentioned to me, that someone I had made oven mitts for in the past, would like some more of them. Well, I jumped on that immediately.   Here you are!

Natalie and Anthony are big cat fans.  I saw some super cute kitty fabric a while back, and knew immediately, I had to have some.  I had already purchased a remnant of another cute kitty themed fabric with no idea what I was going to do with it.

I decided to spin some fold over closer pillow covers, an oven mitt and some napkins.

Happy New Year!!!

Since I have perfected making oven mitts and napkins, I decided to make them one more time. I have this super cute, colorful fabric, and I just couldn’t resist. Sadly, my camera is not the best, but I make due. Sorry for the not so wonderful photos.

I have better pictures. Yay!

My friend and coworker is nuts for Disneyland and anything related to it. So, of course, anything Mickey Mouse is appreciated.  I decided to make a bag for him.  He was intrigued with one I made for someone recently. He tells me he tried to duplicate what I did, and was not successful. So, I made one the same way for him.  I hope he likes it.  I do!               🙂

I have been told in the past, I need to sew in labels on my work. So, I made sure I did just that.

I thought it would be fun to make a chef’s hat. I have not made one before. I researched on YouTube, and found several videos. All of them were very similar.  I ended up using the first one I viewed, but put my own spin on it. This is very typical of me.   😉 

A few weeks ago, I was asked to help make a creative idea come to life. Well, I am all over this kind of sewing. It is fun, and a joy to see the reaction of the person for whom I am sewing.  I was asked to make a table runner and an overlay.  We exchanged ideas and went fabric shopping. During the fabric selection, there was an unexpected addition to the sewing list. Hey Nancy, I think I want you to make a bag for me from this fabulous fabric. Can you do that?  Of course, I can. Let’s see how much of this awesome fabric do we need?

Here we are a couple of weeks later, and whalaa!!  Mission accomplished.
