Ty Pennington pillowcases (finally)
I finally got around to sewing pillowcases for our bed (per C’s christmas request) this morning. I don’t know why it’s taken me so long, since all 5 were made in under an hour… Killian gave them his full approval, I assume, since he slept on them ALL day. Of course, he “supervised” all of […]
Beach School make-up bags
Ok, here’s more stuff for the Beach School auction: 3 little makeup bags (measurements about 10″ wide by 6″ high), made with Just Dandy fabric donated by Robert Kaufman… I love this fabric line SO much! I tried to choose bright crazy prints for the lining; as Jules reminded me: “Something to hide eye […]
sneak peek…
I was sewing all afternoon (maternity pants and the valentine bags), so the Bean sat at her machine and sewed, and C took a bunch of photos. more on the baby blog (which is invitation only, but email me if you want an invite. I just like to know who’s looking at my kiddos)… […]
Valentine blocks!
I pieced the valentines blocks for the teacher-gift bags I’m hoping to make tomorrow. I actually took a long nap, so I have energy to keep going, but I wanna photograph the steps, so I have to wait till tomorrow. But I got the blocks done, so I’m counting it a a done project. I […]
A speedy apron
we went by Momen+ today (because C wanted to go to the brewing supply store around the block), and the Bean insisted that she needed this animal/airplane fabric. It’s from the same line as the scrap I used to make her bag last week, and she loves all the animals. C is gonna brew again […]
A sweet birthday present…
We’ve got some little girl birthdays coming up, so I decided to use some of my Anne Kelle lollipop and ice cream cone scraps (I think… It’s all a blur from market) with some random other scraps to work on this zippered bag idea again… Last time the zipper was too high, this time it’s […]
Valentines motivation
As a pregnant, SAHM of 2 littles, I’m not having much energy to sew at night these days… But I really want to make up some valentines bags for our preschool teachers… I cut these strips this morning, and am hoping that by posting these this morning, I’ll feel obliged to whip up some pieced/quilted […]
Beach School baby blanket
Here’s another item up for auction(made at retreat). The fabric is most of a Remix charm pack, (arranged so helpfully by Lori), bordered in Kona White, and again with backing supplied by the always wonderful Liberty. (It’s a Riley Blake dot print), bound in a pretty Kona aqua color… I quilted it in double diagonal […]
Tooth Monster Pillow
D’s had 2 loose tooth for over a month, and one finally came out today. In preparation for our first tooth fairy visit, d and I made this very simple pillow… The mouth is a pocket to hold a tooth (currently in a little sandwich bag), or an iPod (so it doesn’t get lost in […]
Beach School placemats
Robert Kaufman donated some awesome stuff for the fundraiser at my kids’ school… An old (but unused) market quilt, some aprons, and some fabric precuts. As far as I know (and it’s a small school, so I do know), I’m the only one who sews. So I took the pre-cuts to the guild retreat, and […]
