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.

Felted Slippers

I am sure you are wondering why I am knitting when this is to be sewing month. Well I really didn't knit these this month but about.... umm two months ago. They have been sitting that long waited to felted. These were originally for me, but were pushed off into the "waiting to be finished" projects. Until I realized that my sisters birthday was coming up, and I knew that she wanted a pair, for I made my mom some and she was quite jealous :)

 So I quickly felted them, which is a little harder when you are making them smaller than your own feet.

 And I put this cute button on it!! It just makes it a bit cheery, and will help when the long, cold, rainy days come this winter!! :)

And there you have it. Though she will not need these for a few more months, they will be there waiting to be used when needed!!
Now back to sewing!! ~RebeccA.

P.S. I will eventually make myself a pair.... some day :)

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

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

THE PURSE PROJECT 2

Well I have made another one this week (the last one was made last week) This time for a friend. She gave me the fabric last week at church, and I got right to work. 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!!

Thanks for Reading, Rebecca

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.
