Another Lanyard

Another lanyard for another friend.  I also hem a lot of pants for this friend :)

A Crutch Clutch

This was a little pocket that I made for a friend that hurt her ankle and had to be on crutches.  She called me with this idea of something that could hold the remote and a pencil.  So I got to work.  It turned out really cute and she liked it a lot.

I put some sewing supplies inside so that you could see how big it is and what it will hold.

Repurpose

As teachers we get lots of free tote bags.  I wanted two bags that my "star students" could take home and bring back a few things to share with the class in.  I took two freebie bags and added the cutest little panels that were given to me by a friend.  So this project cost me $0.00, I love that!

A Vintage Bag

I made this cute tote awhile back and it never made it on the blog.  This large tote is made out of vintage fabric that I bought at a antique festival.  I love the color and the pattern.

Great bag for flea markets and festivals, holds a ton of treasures :)

 2 handles that fit nicely over the shoulder.

Lined with the same green color.

Candy Bouquet

My sweet little cousin was in a production of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.  Being 6 years old, what would you rather have candy or flowers.  Candy!  This cute little candy bouquet is made with all Willy Wonka Candy (see a theme?).  The A in the center is for her name, Ava.

Cindy's Andy Griffith Quilt

I am pleased with how this tacked couch throw turned out! Cindy came to me at work and asked if I could take her Andy Griffith shirts and make a throw for her. We got all the details worked out and this is what was made.

Here are all the blocks laid out in their final design. For the top and bottom I took a single 15x15 block and halved it. One half went to the top, the other half went to the bottom. The 9 main designs went in the middle. Don't you just love the Barney one in the top left corner?

Here it is completed, hanging on my cutting table.

We went with a navy blue flannel for the back and border. Each corner was tacked with navy thread.

Cute little x's in each corner, this is what "tacking" looks like without buttons.

I hope that Cindy loves her quilt, I really enjoyed making it!

Baby Diaper Wreath

Here's a cute little gift I made for a friend having a little baby girl. I think it turned out super cute.

It is completely made of diapers! She was using an elephant theme in the nursery, so that was the reason for the perfect little frame attached to the bottom.

View of left side. You can see a rattle, baby lotion and at the top little baby socks all tied in with curly pink ribbon.


Here's the right side. You can see 2 more pairs of little socks, pacifiers, and baby powder all tied to the wreath with curly pink ribbon.
