Pajama Pants


These are so much fun to make. I have mastered pockets now, so my new pjs have those as an added bonus.

Garett's shirts




Garett is the best man in his friends wedding this fall. For the rehearsal dinner he got all the boys fake tux shirts. I added the boys' names to the back. This was harder than I thought It would be. I cut out the letters and then added heat bond to them. Next, I ironed them onto the t-shirts and then stitched around the edges to hold the letters on.

Little wallets




This is another pattern from my Aunt Kathy. These little wallets are so cute and easy. I made one for my mom, Brittany, and myself. I think I am going to enlarge the pattern on my scanner to make larger ones.

Snap Happy

My Aunt Kathy gave me a pattern to make these little guys. I used carpenters measuring tape as the snap. I made different sizes out of some left overs I had. I think I am going to use them as little purses, but also for my make up and some of my sewing items. They are really easy and fun to make.

Stockings


I made 28 of these bad boys. Last year, our school donated stockings at Christmas time to the soldiers. This year, I bought the fabric on sale. I think I got it for $1.50 a yard. I may pick up some more fabric to get a few more done before Christmas.

Austin's quilt

This the quilt I made for Austin. I tried to machine sew it, but that didn't work so well. I ended up using yarn, and it turned out pretty cute. Around the edges I used a stitch on my machine. It worked well because I didn't have to hand sewing it. ( I hate hand sewing)
