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 […]
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 […]
More bags…
I was lucky enough to go on retreat with my guild (
I have tons of back logged blog posts, but this makes my too happy to wait…
This bag is my tester, to see if I could figure out how to set the zipper in below the top edge, without having to cut the front into 2 pieces. Of course, this method means that tabbing my zippers is completely unhelpful, but at least I figured out the hard part.Side note: my house […]
a little lawyer blanket
My college roommate/bff and her hubs just had their first baby. OBVI I was gonna make him a baby blanket… about 4 months before he was born, I realized that as the son of 2 lawyers, nephew of 3 lawyers, and grandchild of 4 lawyers, there was only 1 thing to make. I grabbed some […]
twirly girl dress on a twirly girl
The problem with making a twirly girl dress is that the girl wearing it is constantly in motion… it’s remarkably difficult to photograph but I suppose that’s what makes the dress itself a success…
Lisa’s Lists
My big sister is the most organized person I know. but she’s not technical. so when I saw this tute, I pinned it right away. I KNEW it was perfect for her. I embroidered her name, since I love alliteration. I added a pen in her favorite color (aqua). I used linen and scraps […]
