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!

~My Little Ballerina~

 made Liberty this dress to match her sisters ballet dresses,  because my mom had extra material left over from theirs.  She looks like an absolute doll in it!

Sorry these pics aren't very good, I didn't have very good lighting.

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

Etsy Store: A Stich Away

Well the reason I have been so busy or at least haven't been posting in a while is because I have been setting up a Etsy shop, to sell some binky holders! My name for my store is A Stich Away, cute huh? I sure like it!I actually started these last fall to try to sell at some of the Christmas Bazaar's, but didn't get them finished in time. So they have been sitting in my craft bin, and finally I decided to finish them to sell!! Here are some more that are for sale.

I plan to make more, with different colors!! So check out my etsy store right on the left side bar!!

That's all for now, 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!!
