Back to Sewing

I think it took me about 10 minutes sitting in front of my machine before I could even turn it on!  If you didn’t read my recent post, How Not to Sew, then that would be a good place to start.  My neighbors are probably laughing as they now know why the squad came to our road (keep in mind our road has maybe 10 occupied houses on a no outlet), but that’s okay.  We brought in my MIL’s sewing table to provide me with a studier sewing area and I began sewing again yesterday!  So here is what I did yesterday (the pocket on mine was what I was working on when the accident happened).

This is my tote bag made from two placemats, some fabric, ribbon, buttons and webbing.  It was easy and a lot of fun.  The picture doesn’t really do it justice – but if you know me IRL then one day you will get to see it!

 

This is my oldest’s tote.  Hannah made this, with a little help from me, for her sewing class in our homeschool co-op.  She made her’s deeper and she has already filled it up.  She told me she needs another one LOL.

These are three pillows that Hannah helped me make, two are for her friends who recently had birthdays and one is for her.  I embroidered their names in black floss with a back stitch.  You can find directions for making the pillows at Love To Sew  These were made prior to the accident but I did stuff and hand sew the opening shut after.

The other two pillows, the backing material is the same as the dot material on the front but running the opposite direction.

These are scrunchies I made a while ago to match those skirts I made out of pants.  Much easier than I had originally thought.  They each recieved two.  Bethanne’s are the red western print, Hannah’s are the purple ballerina print.

My plans for today are to finish the eyelet ruffle on one dress and sew the other two dresses.  We’ll see how that turns out as I have our assessment tomorrow and a dr appt today.

God bless.
