Have a laugh!

It's ok...you can laugh...this is my projects closet! And some aren't in the picture because they are on my projects table! It will look much more organized in a few days when I reorganize that closet!! I'll do that on my free time! ha!

Hopefully it will become a ballet bag!

Bag for Ballet

Why am I posting a picture of fabric? Because I want to remind myself to complete this project for my daughter. This hopefully will be a cute ballet bag. Purple gingham for the bag...that fun shiny pink fabric will be the ballet slippers that are appliqued on it...and the straps will be purple with white polka dot grosgrain ribbon! Come on Mimi...get it done!!

Projects!!

this little guy!!

A VERY DEAR friend requested I make one of these for her daughter...(but it will have a really cute ruffle at the bottom...and it will be in red gingham)...well, i couldn't find a pattern for exactly what I wanted so I created the pattern myself! Anyway, I am currently obsessed with criss- cross straps! I have made several bubbles for Hunt with these kind of straps. Anyway, how cute will this be in the winter with a turtle neck under it! I have two more in the making and plan on doing one for Maggie with ruffles, too! And I can really think of a thousand other things I would do to it...monogram, applique,etc...I will post more pictures of the other ones I make when they are completed!

The Button Down!

This is about the most detailed(well, at the top of the list) sewing project I have encountered! It goes right up there with smocking and constructing a bishop. This is a button down I am making for Tyner. It is this great looking brown and cream linen! As you can see I have quite a few more steps...like the other sleeve, cuffs, button, button holes and hem. It has been quite a task but I must say I am ready to tackle another one!
