An Apron For Sewing

Well, Hannah (the other writer on this blog) birthday is this Thursday, And because she is leaving for Georgia tomorrow (not fair :) I had to give this to her a little early.

Here is her card, I tried to make

it a bit vintage looking cause that is

Hannah's style!

This is how I wrapped her gift, in some fabric that I

thought she could use to make something.

Here is the pattern I used...And the messy desk, cutting out pieces.........

And here it is, a sewing apron,
to hold all the little things while you are
sewing the seems!!

Here are the different pockets, This is the small

scissor pocket.

Felt square for your hand needles.

Just an ordinary pocket.

Pocket with places for pencils and pens.

One large pocket.

A pin cushion and a small pocket underneath.

I thought it would be neat to fill some of the pockets,

So I found some things, like 2 patterns, scissors, and some other

stuff.

And there you have it, Cute huh?? I thought the fabric

was just to cute not to make something out of!!

Well HAPPY BIRTHDAY dear friend!! I hope you find this

useful in the days and years to come!!

With Love,

Rebecca

Aqua Drifting Blossom Skirt

With the weather being so gloomy from the rain, I decided to pull out some projects that I have been wanting to start. This is one of them, I ordered this fabric almost 7 months ago, for only $3 a yard! I bought it from a online quilting supplier. I had seen it when it was regular priced and thought it was cutie but not cutie enough to buy. So when it went on sale I couldn't help it :) I bought 2 1/2 yards plus 1/2 yard of the coordinating brown. Any ways here are some pictures from along the way.

Here's the pattern I used. It was different than any that I have

ever used, for it was made so that, (in a way)

you could design the skirt yourself!

Here is my messy desk, while cutting

out the fabric.

Thread!

Here is some of the sewing being done!

I believe this is the yoke of the skirt.

Here it is, almost all done, at this point I had the

zipper and the contrast edging to sew on.

Here you can see the print of the fabric.

And there it is, All done!! Front view

Side view.

So there you have it, a new skirt. I really liked this pattern.

it was easy and didn't use to much fabric.

Until my next project

(which should be next week)
