A while ago I mentioned that I was going to do something with the fabrics my friends. This is the post where I tell you what I did! Pouches!! I first started making these years and years ago, because they’re super easy and useful. I found the pattern and tutorial on Pinterest, specifically found here: Sewing at CraftGossip. I’ve made two different sizes a few … Continue reading Makin’ Pouches for Friends
Years and years ago, I was rummaging around Pinterest for fun sewing ideas. It was right around the time that I was trying to do some organizing, so I was looking for bags and boxes mainly. I happened upon the Fabric Storage Box at the AllFreeSewing website. Bonus, it seemed simple enough! I did struggle a bit, though. Therefore, I’m going to write my materials … Continue reading Box it up!
How often have you gone traveling and realized that there were never going to be enough hangers in the hotel room closet for the amount of clothes you needed to bring with you? It’s happened far too often for me, mostly as a result of over-packing (see my most recent travel post for confirmation here…). I blame the need to change clothes between day time … Continue reading Hanging in Hotels
And you just have to make a cutie in response. If you’ve been around this blog long enough, you know that I’ve fallen for the stuffed animals that can be found on Funky Friends Factory – a pattern maker located in Australia. I have made so many animals for my nephews, my niece, and so many other friends along the way, and I love every … Continue reading Sometimes you meet a cutie…
As is typical for this time of year (though I guess I’m fairly late), it’s time to put some new goals down for the year. Already you know of the Movie Challenge that MM and I are taking on. So far, we’ve watched 6 movies for the year, which means we’re ahead of schedule (though we haven’t made too much of a dent in the … Continue reading Goals for 2019
Last time I posted, it was about pictures. I’ve completed quite a few scrapbooks since then, and have started others, mostly yearbooks and European trips. I’m really enjoying doing it, especially while bingewatching ridiculous things on Netflix. I also started working on a couple sewing projects. One of the friends that I made the Riviera Bag for a few years ago asked me to fix … Continue reading A Continuation
when you work with lush fleece, and do loads of laundry. My sheets and towels now have extra fuzz! I hit the fabric store yesterday morning to get supplies for those two projects I mentioned in my last post. Luckily for me, they were having quite the sale in the morning, and I came home with much, much more than I had planned. That “more” … Continue reading The problem is…
And not a lot to say about it. Okay, a few things. It was a fairly easy project, even with the modifications I made to keep the pattern the right direction on both sides. That being said, I suggest not using a linear pattern if you care at all about things being straight. I also added a set of pockets on one side. They’re large … Continue reading KitchenAid mixer done
This weekend I decided to start working on the KitchenAid Mixer cover. I’m using a tutorial I found on Pinterest, but really I’m only using the tutorial for the pattern and the list of materials. The tutorial tells you to quilt the materials together, and to be honest, after doing so, I’m not a huge fan of quilting. Or maybe I’m just not used to … Continue reading Trying something new
The Mission Recreate the bag that I normally take with me to Europe. The bag is pretty easy to take with me on trips, because by itself it weighs next to nothing. The canvas (I think) is pretty sturdy, and I don’t have to worry about it getting dirty. It’s pretty big, too. Big enough for both of our Kindles, one or more bottles of … Continue reading The Messenger Bag Mission
