Bags

I found this premade pattern for trick-or-treat bags. I am going to use it as a pattern to continue to make bags for nieces and nephews as they come along. This one is for Austin. It is pretty big so he will get lots of candy :).

The other bag I made is for a my birthday club teacher. Next week is her birthday. We all take

turns for birthdays. I used the trick-or-treat pattern but made it a little larger. I used the same heat bond trick I did for the bib to put her name on it.

Everyone Loves a Snuggie

This year for Christmas I made Garett and his friends snuggies. I got the pattern form Joann. It was a McCalls pattern and super easy. These things are amazing. They even have little feet pockets to keep those toes warm.

Valances

These nice little valances really spruce up my place. I got the material for CHEAP. It was half off the half priced stuff. I love finding good deals. I made one for my bed room window and am working on one for the window in the front room.

Scrubs

For my good friend, Jackie. I made a set of scrubs. This was a learning experience. I did my first set of pockets!

Garett's New Bachelor Pad

Garett just got a new home. It needed some TLC. So, here is the new additions...
New rag quilt
















New pillows

And...new curtians!

A new look

This is Austin, Garett's nephew and he loves Mickey. I found this idea from my cousin. All I did was take a plain t-shirt and cut out a tie shape then sewed it on. It was really simple and a hit with Austin!

Baby Bibs

This is the new bibs I made. I got the inspiration from my Great Grandma Max. My mom always said that these were the best bibs because they were super absorbent and the food didn't just slide right off. They are super easy. This is what I did. I took a wash clothe (super cheap) and cut a spot for the neck. Next, I added biased tape. Then this little add on was just a pattern I found online and made it my own. I used 'Heat Bond' to secure it then added a little stitch. I must say, Garett does model it nicely! :)

Hello

I am new to blogging. I have been busy sewing and creating ever since I got my sewing machine. I LOVE my nights of crafting. I want to keep track of my projects. My super smart boy friend gave me the incredible idea of sharing my work with everyone online. So here I go....
