Yeehaw!

A few weeks ago Trinitie was invited to a western themed birthday party and I had no idea what she was going to wear. So I went looking through my fabric container and found some Denim like fabric. Yes, I made her, her outfit for the party. It is not the best quality item i've made but it works for the party.

Till next time, have fun sewing

Pooh Bear

Another one bites the dust! Yes! Three (and a half) down - four (and a half) to go. I am very confident that I will have them done by Christmas.

Strawberry Shortcake

This is my latest creation and by far the easiest I have attempted. It is a Strawberry Shortcake themed rag quilt. From start to finish it took me about four hours. All there is to it is to sew the two layers of squares together with the seam sticking out on one side. It was so much fun to make and I cant wait to make another.

So, on and on I go! At the moment I am working on a receiving blanket sized quilt that has a Winnie the Pooh print. It is coming along nicely.
I have also done a Spiderman print quilt that I am half way done with. Boy - o - boy that quilt has been a pain in my neck! There were many complications but in the end I was very happy with what I made.

When I finish the next two I will share them with you. Hopefully I will be able to stay on track and finish them all on time.

Till next time, have fun sewing!

Princess and the Frog

YAY ME! I finished quilt number 1!

I am so excited to be done with # 1! when I started cutting and laying out this quilt the first thing I discovered was that I hadn't bought enough fabric. Well, I had bought enough but because of how I cut I ended up running out. After drawing up several different patterns I ended up with a completely different design than the one I had intended on making. In the end I was very happy with what I had made.

So now I going to get started on quilt # 2, hopefully it will go a little smoother. I will keep you updated with my progress.

Till next time, have fun sewing!

Quilts, Quilts & More Quilts!

So, this year I thought it would be fun, and a good idea, to make quilt for Christmas. I have no idea what I was thinking!!! After much thought, I decided that I would only do them for the kids. So that leaves me with 4 1/2 months to make 9 quilts (oh and 2 costumes for haloween). I have faith in my dedication and my will NOT to quit! I will get them done on time!

Ok, so I have a game plan. I will (try to) do one a week and give myself all of october to to costumes. if I stick to the plan I should be able to get them done on time. This week I started and have almost compleated my first quilt. It is a princess and the frog themed quilt. I have chosen three different flannels-lilac, purple P & F and pink P & F. I have also picked a heavy fuzzy green blanket type fabric and for the back I selected an all over print of P & F flees.

I am very excited to show all my finished quilts! I will post them as I finish.

Till next time, have fun sewing!

my first cross stitch

Lately I have been wanting to learn how to cross stitch and a recent trip to a friends house helped me decided I was going to give it a try. She kind of showed me the basics on what to do, so I got a few starter kits and got to work. The piece I did was only 2" long, it was a lot of fun and I can't wait to do a larger project.

kids pants

I found this site a couple of years ago when I was looking for an easy way to make pants fast. Since then I have made a bunch of pants in all shapes and sizes, I even modified the design to help me make my son's buzz lightyear costume. Because of this site I no long buy over priced kids pajamas. I love it and I hope you do too! Rookiemoms.com/make-some-easy-kids-pants
