First apron

I love pleats and ruffles!! They are so easy, I can't believe it!!!

This is for my mom for Christmas

Stationery set in drawstring bag

Combining my two passions: card making and sewing. These are for Karen who is turning dirty 30 this weekend in palm springs!

Justice Market: thank you packs!

Goal is to make 60 cards, 12 packs of 5 to sell at the justice market sponsored by "not for sale". I have 16 more to go with at least 16 hours logged already. Proceeds are going to search and Vox, so all worth it! They'd better all get sold...

UPDATE: the justice market was this weekend (dec 10th) and all but one pack was sold!! Whoohoo! It was worth it :)

Oven mitt in progress...

First time quilting...or maybe I made it up bc all I did was sew straight lines parallel to one another...is that quilting? I got the puffy effect that I enjoy from quilting so...

Lesson learned: don't sew something round that you need to stitch if it doesn't fit around your sewing machine arm....it was like trying to put on a very tight pair of pants. But even when I got it on the arm, the sewing maching foot couldn't move the fabric forward, so FAIL

Now that I'm working, sewing will be a weekend luxury. Just grateful to be able to do both!!

Monogrammed onesies

Oh man these took so much longer than I thought they would. Used steam a seam to adhere the letter to the onesie and stitched around it using the zig zag. These are for some babies that I know :)

Whoa Totes!

Ok I am obsessed with making tote bags after successfully making one (polka dot). Then I did the second one for Jeannie, who has a different kind of taste. Hopefully they will like their bags!!
They are reversible. Jeannie's has fusible interfacing...fancy word for iron on material that will make your fabric sturdier. Sorry Grace! I made yours before I discovered fusible interfacing. Credits go to my husband Justin for telling me to add the fusible interfacing (not in those words, more like "shouldn't you find a way to make it sturdier?") Oh well. Grace yours is just as functional!

My favorite part is the ruffled pocket. I will buy something just because it has ruffles on it. And now you're telling me I know how to make my OWN ruffles??? This is going to be dangerous. It is also called "gathering" from my extensive YouTube research, FYI...
