Key Chain Project

I have completed another sewing project..... finally!!
In ones life, there comes a point where you start to use your keys more often then when you are younger. No I have not gotten a car or even my license YET..... but I have been loosing my keys, and have needed to make something to make it easier to find. So with the materials above.....

I made a key chain holder, neat huh?

It was quite the simple project ( I didn't even use a pattern) But it will make a big difference when I go to look for my keys in my black hole of a purse, or around the house! :) With this month soon to be ending.... I hope to do some more sewing projects before the Sewing Month of September ends.
Until next time, ~RebeccA.

Mending

Mending is one of those things that seem to be put to the side of your list of projects to do. But with this sewing month thing, I thought it would be good to get my few items back into use. I had a broken zipper and a button and hook to fix.

Seam ripping is always fun!!

There it is, that awful invisible zipper gone...


And my new, working zipper in!!

Here another skirt had to much use and the button and eye were coming off
 
There they are, back on and ready to be used!!
 There you have it, what takes no more then a half an hour, and you have your things as good as new!! Why didn't I do this sooner, I don't know, but I am sure glad to cross that one off the list!! :) ~RebeccA.

Card Holder

So far this sewing thing has not worked out so well..... until now!! Today, determined to make something to put on this blog for the sewing month, I found this pattern for Business Card Holder. And since about two months ago, I bought some business cards for my Etsy Store, and I have not even carried them around with me. I thought this would be a quick, easy and very little fabric kind of project.



So now I am ready to carry those cards around with me, ready to be used when I meet people that are interested in the things I do. This very simple project, will help keep them protected from the black hole of a purse that seems to ruin any paper that ever enters in!! :)

I hope y'all are having a good week, and I hope you have a great weekend!! ~Rebecca
