Helpful Hints: Threading a Needle

So, Rebecca and I have been talking about posting occasional hints on here in between projects, so here goes.

I always dread trying to thread a needle because the thread always seems to be so persistent and never wants to go in, I think that I have come up with a solution to this problem.  I was reading a while ago that if, instead of trying to shove the thread in there by either licking it or any other means imaginable, you simple get the eye of the needle moistened and the saliva acts as a lubricant and draws your thread into it.  At first I was a bit skeptical but after trying it a few times I found that it worked out and made threading a needle allot easier!

A Baby Boy!

I love it when baby's a born in our church, one reason is because it is another reason to thank God for His Covenant Children, second is because you get to kiss and squeeze them :) and third is because I get to make a new baby present!! Which I enjoy allot! Well these presents where for Elijah, and though I wasn't able to attend his baby shower they still fun to make and give to him!(or his mom)

These were the three boxes that I wrapped the pressent's in!

I didn't have a bag to put them in, so I remembered, from when

I was in School, the origami box which turned out perfectly for my gifts!First I made these clothe shoes, I got the pattern off etsy

They are so cute!

This is a knitted elephant pacifier holder!

I got this pattern out of a book, I think it was called

Itty Bitty Nursery, Or something along those lines

In the third box was a two sided bib, using the extra

fabric from the shoes and a free online pattern, oh and I embroidered his initials

Here's the other side

Well that is all for my baby fun! Until my next finished project!

One Dress For Two Occations

I guess I have been in a sewing mood lately, Here is a project I finished a couple of weeks ago. I made a dress out of a skirt pattern..... If that makes any sense. Well what I did was I took a skirt pattern and because I didn't have a shirt to do with it I decided to make a dress by making my own pattern (from other patterns I have seen) for the bodice.

As you can see in the title I made this dress for two occations, One was our Church Heritage Weeekend English Country Dance and the other was for my Aunts wedding! Well here are some pitcures of the steps and the dress!

Here is the skirt pattern and the fabric I used

Here is the skirt part cut out


After I cut Out the skirt and got it put together, I made the bodice and attached it to the skirt, leaving one side open for a zipper, then I added the straps, using ribbon with lace sewed onto it.

Though I don't have any pitcures with me wearing the dress I hope you get the idea of what it looks like. I had fun, making this summer dress and I am already planning my next crafty project.

Apron

Hello, I am Rebecca, the other gal on this blog. And for a long time I have been wanting to make an apron, I think the main reason, was that I have a tendensy of making a mess and it usualy ends up on my clothes. So I NEEDED to make one. Finally I was able to get the pattern at Jo-Annes and the fabric at Wal- Mart ( not my favorite place to shop, but some of them have cheep fabric)

I made the on in the bottom left hand corner.

I know I will be using this alot and though there were complications I am happy with the way it turned out!

Well untill my next project,

Rebecca
