Genevieve from Creative Spaces adapted the School Bag Tutorial to make herself a spanking vinyl beach tote. It is made from an upcycled shower curtain and curtain liner she bought on clearance. Love that!She decided rather than sewing the boat-load of button holes, to use metal eyelets. I think it looks great.She has lots of great tips for using vinyl for this project, and...
Thanks to Jenny pictured in the previous post, I have a button now! Pretty exciting for someone who isn't that technologically savvy. So if you feel like it, you can copy the code on my sidebar, paste it in a HTML/ Java Script Gadget on your blog, and you'll have this wild thing on your side bar. Thanks to anyone who choses to...
Remember a while back I made this nursing t-shirt? Well here is Jenny looking good in it, so you could see it on a person. She said it's been working great to make life easier as a mom. Once again, you can contact her if you are interested in purchasing similar nursing shirts in the future, as she has been working hard to...
For a birthday gift for one of my husband's friends, we made this t-shirt with the freezer paper stenciling. It's an inside joke, so I'm assuming the friend will get it, and hopefully like it. I took a photo of my husband and just increased the contrast to give me an idea of which areas needed to be cut out and left. Dana...
STRIPPING WOODI never went into spontaneous labor, so I ended up going over-due with my son, and was induced. <---- That is the night before I delivered, with my large protruding belly...doesn't it look a bit freakish? Kind of like an alien. Don't worry, I'd never show bare skin, you'd vomit right on your keyboard if you haven't already.It's amazing what the human body...
Blogs are weird in that you only see the best of people's lives, or in this case creations. I'm not perfect, and many of my projects don't turn out the way I'd like...at all. I've had this sweater for years. It was too big when I recieved it, boxy, and I rarely wore it.So one night I thought I'd try to refashion it...

Here is the link for the tutorial, from Sew Liberated--great blog. It's a pretty easy project. I used 2 t-shirts from the Good Will pile. I...
More ideas to add to the Onesie Summer Dress tutorial. I made a few more dresses with a few slight variations from the tutorial. These dresses are all available in my little Etsy Shop. I have been working on restocking my etsy shop. I worked really hard from October to December with capes, and needed a break. So I decided January my month to sew/ craft just for me. ...
My friend had a little daughter, and this is part of her gift. It's a little blanket, kind of too small to swaddle or really wrap up a baby, but so silky on one side, soft and snuggly on the other side--it's more of a blankie. One side is lilac charmeuse satin, and the other is a lavendar almost furry soft minky. I...
One of my projects that didn't use freezer paper stenciling...shocker. A pattern this time too. Simplicity: It's So Easy Pattern #7524 for Childrens Bathrobe & pajamas. My mom actually made the robe for all the grandkids for Christmas, and I personalized it with our last name.. My little guy is really thick and my Dad said he looked like a little boxer in his...
