Girly Flower Headband

I made this headband for Zana. The flower is hand sewn! The fabric is a fun flannel backed satin. I cut out each flower and then sewed them layer by layer all by hand. ( my granny would be very impressed)

Ewan's Super Cool Dinosaur Birthday Shirt!

Today is my little Ewan's 3rd birthday! This was his first gift of the day from me. I made it last night out of some crazy fun Dinosaur material.

He is pretty cute Eh?

This is Halloween, This is Halloween...........

Zana's Tirck-or-Treat bag

I LOVE Halloween! I love the decorations and I LOVE the crafty projects this time of year. I know the eek sign is not a sewing project but I though I would add it anyway. The bag is Zana's trick-or-Treat bag, I really, really love this fabric so fun.

HAPPY HAUNTING.........muahhhh

Horses to go....

I made this for my Andrea's little girl Ava. She LOVES horses. So now she can take her horses on the go.

Knobby Knees

This is my knobby kneed owl pincushion. I really like him. He was fun and easy to make. Ewan wants me to make a REALLY big one for him. :) I think I might!

A "REAL" wallet

I really like this one too! I am very proud of myself my very first ZIPPER POCKET! I did it! WOOT- WOOT!

Chalkboard Pillow

This is so fun to make! I LOVE it.

A checkbook cover

I am at it again........ a brand new project. A checkbook cover I made for my friend Jackie because she is a super rad friend.

Diaper Cover

I saw this tutorial and though it was darling! So I decided to try and make one, of course my sweet little niece will be getting this one since I do not have any babies. Maybe some nephews will get some too, in some crazy cool fabric that SCREAMS boy. :)

A LONG break......

Just made the above.

Isn't she the cutest?

After 6 months I am back! I have had a rough 6 months but now all is better and I am feeling more like me again.

Here is my new project *drum roll*............BABY LEG WARMERS! How cute are these? More importantly how is cute is my little model?(my niece jocelyn)

2nd attempt MUCH better

Here is the 2nd skirt attempt with the "real" material. I think this one turned out MUCH better but I still need A LOT of practice. I LOVE this material. If you ever need some super cute material and are in the Denver area Fancy Tiger is the place. :)

First skirt attempt

The skirt inside out.

I bought some really cute material to make Zana a Easter skirt, BUT before I made it with the nice material I bought some cheap "test" material. It turned out OK. It is a little big despite shortening the elastic and taking in twice. Good to know that I need another 1/2" off the elastic and 1/2" off each side. Practice makes perfect right?!?!?!

Don't mind her huge dirty white shirt. :D

With all that said I am very pleased with how well the inside turned out though!

Pants for Ewan, can you believe it?!?!

The completed outfit!




I finally finished Ewan's pants. I thought the best way to showcase them was to have my little man model them himself. These were fun to make and I LOVE the material. Don't mind the polar bear shirt, I could not wait to try them on polar bear shirt and all. I am making a cute shirt to go with these pants.

All these babies!

I have another friend who is having a boy so I sewed up this nursing cover. I am going to make her some baby shoes with the left over material too. Don't look at the gross faux wood-paneling in the background of my sewing room. Hopefully this summer we will get a new basement and rid of the faux paneling.

* In progress is a skirt for Zana and some pants for Ewan.......wish me luck! ;)

Shoes #2

So a lady in my ward asked me to make a pair of baby shoes for her new granddaughter and I just LOVE how these ones turned out so I had to share. I know it is not something different BUT I am in the process of sewing something new and will hopefully be done and have it posted sometime this week. ;)

Baby Shoes for a Friend.

So my new sewing project was to make some baby shoes for a friend of mine who just had a baby girl. Here is how they turned out.

EEKKK, a new machine for me.

My amazing husband surprised me with a new sewing machine. It is beautiful and so quiet. It has speed control so it is much easier to keep a steady straight line.

Thanks Leif I love ya! My dad's shirt is going to look amazing. :)

Project Number 2 for the day a Crayon Cozy too.

Car Cozy for Ewan

Rolled up


I finally have had a little time and sewed something new! A Car Cozy for Ewan to take to church with us. I think it turned out pretty darn cute, he said he didn't like it "eating" his cars. Crazy little monkey. :)

Zana is sewing too!!!!

The place I take my sewing classes now offers kids classes too, so I signed Zana up for one and she LOVED it! She was a little advanced for the sewing 101 so the teacher moved her up a class and let her make a "creature".

It is going to be so fun to sew with her.
