Sewing Time

Been some time since I have been in the studio doing any sewing.  I love these peasant type patterns.  Easy to make and extremely comfortable to wear.

I have held onto this hand quilted quilt for some time. I used an old tea towel for the pocket.

Fun Children's apron

This was a fun piece to make.  I used a vintage table cloth and linens.   I had to make my own bias tape and I am pretty happy with the results.

This sweet little dress was made using vintage linen table cloth and a linen hand towel. I have not sewn a dress for a little one in some time, it brought back memories of my little girls.

New shirt for me!!!!!!

I haven't sewed anything with a pattern in a long time and now I remember why.  They are a pain in the ass at times.  But I survived and I think I made the necessary changes to it I will use it in the future again. The pockets are my favorite part.  I used recycled fabric from my daughters old shirt.

Sweet purse for a sweet girl!

A sweet young lady bought a purse I made for the thrift store a couple months ago and requested another for her sweet friend's birthday.  I hope she likes it.  This one is made out of almost all recycled fabrics and scraps.

Lady Bug love

My sister Gail inspired me to use my scrap fabric to make patch work  pieces.  It is just plain fun, no thought just sew.  The bag went to the thrift store I volunteer at,  hopefully it will make someone happy.

Abracadabra pillow magic

Someone donated these Christmas pillows which were totally outdated and would most likely not sell.  I covered them in A Jay Yang designed fabric.  I think they will leave the thrift store fairly quick.
