Two Wallets for Two Good Friends

This last week was Andra and Michaela's Birthdays! Two very good friends of mine! A while ago Hannah and I made wallets, and these two happened to see them at some point and mentioned that they both wanted one, I said to them that if you got the fabric I would make it for you. So about a month ago, I remembered these conversations and thought it would be nice to make them as a surprise. So I picked out fabric that seemed to go with there style. I also made them each a card. Here are some pictures.

And Here's Andra's Card

And Wallet

When I made my wallet there were some difficulties in the size

of pockets and such, so with these I made sure to

measure the pockets, so that cards and money would fit into them!

Happy Birthday Andra and Michaela! I hope you like them!!

Well that is all for now!

Re-Do Shoes

Working at Joann's requires a certain dress code, one of the the codes is to have black closed toed shoes. So I have been on the look out for a pair of black flats that I could wear with my skirts. So when I found these shoes for $5 at Walmart, I couldn't help but buying them. The only thought was that they were quite plain. So I also bought some ribbon to dress them up!!

Here are all of my supplies.

-1 pair of flats

-ribbon

-2 buttons

-1 pair of scissors

-thread and needle

-and a hot glue gun

I decided to make a bow, with a button center and attach it to the

front side of the shoes! Here is the finished product!

I had fun taking pictures of my "new" shoes!!

I love to buy something cheep, or getting it for free and

making it into a completely different item.

It is fun to get creative with what you have and really enjoy

the out come of the product!!

That is all for now,

Button Top Pin Cushion

In the four years I have sewn, I have never had a pin cushion of my own. I don't know why I have not made one sooner, but what ever the reason, I made one for myself! But it is not only a pin cushion, it is also a top to my jar of buttons Here is how I did it.

After and before pictures, the after pictures

is way better.

Here is the fabric I used. The next picture is how I cut each piece.

I cut out a circle and then cut it into pie shaped pieces,

then I cut two of each fabric.

Here is all the pie pieces sewn together, with a based stitch

on the out side edge. After pulling the based stitch and stuffing

it, creates a nice looking round pillow.

Then I defined the seam line and added a button for

decoration. It looks way cutier that way!!

Next I hot glued some ribbon on the edge of the lid and glued the

cushion to the top of the lid.

And there you have is and great pin cushion!!

What do you think?? Adorable huh?? I thought it turned out

nice! Rather than looking at an old jar lid, I have a

pin cushion instead!

Until next time,

Book of Memories!

I made this scrapbook for some friends of mine that I work for.  They are in their 80's and are like a second pair of grandparents to me!  I just love scrapbooking, and all the creative genius that goes into it!  It enables you to remember your memories in a whole different way.  Not to mention the fact that theres nothing like scapbooking  at 1 in the morning with a coke and an ice cream.  (major sugar rush!)

Perfect Purse!

This year for I had Keziah for christmas.  She lost her purse, her bible and her wallet at a football game.  So I decided to make her a new one.  Well almost, I cheated I didn't actually make the purse I just added the flowers to it!  My sister Naomi was nice enough to model it for me!

 Anyway, thanks for looking!

Crafty Card!

I forgot to post about this card in my last post.  I also made this card for Caitlin!  What do you think?

Shawl For A Friend

 I made a Birthday present for my beautiful friend Caitlin Koch.  I just love doing presents for people, it is one of the most fun pastimes especially if you make it, to me it has that much more meaning, even if its just a card, the point is that that person took the time and effort to make something just for you, that is what makes homemade gifts so special to me personally!!  This Shawl was very easy and turned out very well! My only worry is that she might not like it when she gets it! Tell me what you think! (oh and Jessica if you read this before sunday don't show Caitlin!)

This is just after I cut it out.  I had to make my own pattern, hence the snowflakes and blue tape.

This is after the beads were sewn onto the the flowered fabric.

This is with the lining and the flowered sections pinned together!

This is with the front and the back all sewn together just not finished off.

And Tada!  it is finished!!

The super cute hat box that I put it in!

Here it is all wrapped with a sprig of lavender.  I just love lavender it smells so fresh and it stays pretty for a long time!

Here is all of it together I really like giving presents in hatboxes!  :)  It just makes it different!  Oh and the present can't go without a bow or two!

I had tons of fun making this, plus it was super easy!!  I hope you enjoyed reading about my latest project.  I have a few more to come!
