Patriotic for a little one named Justice

Justice was born almost 2 months ago. When thinking about what I was going to make for his upcoming shower, I couldn't help but do something with this fabric. Isn't it so cool!! And if you know Tammy, you will know she loves antic looking fabric, patriotic colors. When seeing this fabric it made me want to make something for him, which became a new diaper bag for Justice!!

Here is the inside.

 Here is the side view, with pockets to hold various things!

Also I made a changing pad. The front has the cotton covered with a plastic to protect it and makes it way easier to clean. The back side is terry clothe, but instead of buying it at 10 dollars a yard, I bought a bath towel to do the job!!

There you have it a really cute but very boy diaper bag for one of the sweetest little baby boys!! Thanks for reading!~RebeccA.

Practically Perfect, Horribly Horrid Headband.

This is the matching head band for the tutu that I made.  It was kinda an impromptu thing.  I just thought that the tutu kinda needed something to pull the whole thing together.  I have to say that this headband was not, very easy.  It looks easier to make than it is.  I had to like tac it onto an extra piece of fabric left over from the skirt, it kept getting tangled up in the machine, and then....  Well, you dont want to hear my sob story about how the headband.  The only thing that matters is that I did, finally, get it done.  Hopefully it turned out cute!  I think it did. 

Don't you love my model.  I know, like, cutest little girl ever right?

Thanks for looking!

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.

September Sewing

Today marks the first day of the National Sewing Month. So Hannah and I have decided to challenge our selfs and try to sew something at least once every week this month.  

So stay tuned for our sewing projects, as we challenge ourselves to sew this month.... and have more post than usual!! :)

Ella's Purple Gift Basket

Little Ella was born about a month ago. And for her shower I put together a basket of some hand made items for her to wear and use. Here are some of the items I put in...

1. A Binky holder, Purple and white go so well together!!

2.Little new born flats, I got the sewing pattern HERE

3. And then I bought to much fabric for those little shoes that I decided to make up a ruffled three tiered skirt to match the shoes. Cute Huh??

Well shame on me, I didn't get any pictures of the finished basket put together, The only other thing that I put in the finished present was a white onesie to go with the skirt and shoes!! :)

So there you have it, a Purple filled basket of hand made goods!! It was fun to put together and figure out things what to even put in it!!

I hope your Monday is going well

Hoping to get it done before Sunday, that way I didn't have to worry about it later. Well I was able to finish it this week!! She picked out some BRIGHT fabric, one that is her style, which was fun to play with!!

Here it is all Finished!!

And there you have it!! The Bright Sunshine Purse!! Thanks Chels for giving me another project to do!! I hope you are happy with it!!

THE PURSE PROJECT

Sorry I have not been posting for a while, it seems Hannah and I take turns posting! :) Well I have been busy with those purses I mentioned I would be doing. This one I made to sell on my etsy shop, which you can see on the side bar.

Here are a few pics of the Project.

The Clasp

The inside pockets, made out of the outer fabric.

There you have it another one made. If any of you are interested in me making one for you, with a certain fabric, let me know, I wouldn't mind taking orders.

That's all for today folks.

Hope you have a nice weekend.

Please Press!

When I was younger and had much less experience in sewing, I would read the pattern, and when it said press seams, or iron the bodice, I just kinda skipped over it thinking that it didn't really matter wether I ironed it or not........ Wrong.  It is so important that you iron, and press when it tells you to when you are sewing, it turns out much nicer and is much easier to sew when you do it that way.  So please, please, please next time you are sewing and you come to the part when it tells you to iron.... Don't skip over it.  <3

4th of July Dresses!

Some of you probably already know this but I just wanted to tell y'all that I made little girl dresses!!  Yay! I have a new mania!  They are totally one of my favorite things to make at the moment. 

I made this one for a little girl at our church, I love making things for little girls, the way that they look at you when they say "Thank-You"  makes it all worth it.

I made this one for my sister Liberty.  She looks so cute in it, I wanted to get some pictures with the little girls actually wearing the dresses, but I couldn't at the moment. (who knows maybe one of these days I will) 

This was the first one that I made, I love this one also!

These dresses were super easy to make, and fun too!  I cant wait to get the chance to make more little girl dresses!

Pink Floral Purse

Every year my Church has an evening were the congregation can share the talents God has given to them with the rest of us. This year is the first time I have ever entered any thing. Like many of my other projects I have planned, this one has been sitting, waiting to be sewn together. So for motivational purposes I decided I was going to finish it for the Evening of The Arts.

Here is the Fabric

And the Pattern

Here is the purse part of the way done.

And here it is all finished!

And there is the inside, with my things all in it!!

It was a very simple project that took me about a day to finish. And with putting it into the event, I had quite a few compliments and a few orders to make them for people, which was a bit surprising!! I just might have to make a few extra to put in my etsy store... we will see.

Well that is all the fun for now, but I will keep you updated on those orders and share them later.

Thanks for reading,

Rebecca

Mothers Day Gifts

I know I have not posted for a while..... I have been up to a few projects but not finished enough to post them :) These last two weeks I have been working on some mothers day presents for my mother that lives in California. Knowing that it is already hot there I made her two head bands. I used a clothe head band as a guild and just went crazy form there :) I used some of my scrap fabric that I had a round to make these head bands.

Here is the first one, this is my favorite of the two!!

I bought this yo yo maker from work, and I just love how

they turned out!!

This is the second one!!

With the cute little yo yo :)

With some help from my sister,

I found out that my mom wears a lot of pink, teal and black

So I decided to make her a bracelet to match the head band

above. I knitted the wire and wried the beads on!!

I used a lock and key clasp!!

This is what it looks like on.

Though I have never knitted with wire before,
it was quite the experience, a little difficult, and
I think I might have trimmed my needles down abit,
but other than that it was fun to experiment!!

Well that is all for now!! I hope you make or do something special for your mothers this

year, to tell her how much you appreciate all the love and guidance she has

given you over the years!!

~Rebecca

P.S. She called me today and said she loved the gifts!! Which I

was excited to hear!!

Recipe Card Holder

Do ever feel that your recipes are scattered all over, from the cupboard, tacked to the fridge, to that messy book with your clips of magazines of ideas for new dinners. Well I have been feeling like this and had to finally do something about it. So I made a handy dandy card holder.

This is what I used:

Set of recipe cards -Dollar store :)

2 Double fusible interfacing cut to the size of my cards

2- pieces of fabric cut the same as the interfacing (front)

And another color of fabric cut the same for the inside

Oh and 2 rings to hold it all together

Here are all the supplies laid out ready to put together

There it is... pretty quick and easy!!

And there are my cards ready to fill with the recipes

I have, as well as many more that I find!!

Well there you go!! A nice a neat place to keep

all of your treasured recipes. I also thought

to organize it a bit further is to make tabs

for different kinds of recipes!!

Off to more crafts!!
