Pillowcase tutorial

I posted a tutorial HERE on how to make your own "custom" pillowcases.

Here's the finished one i made today.

Christmas Sewing...

I finished up the Christmas sewing. I had wanted to do much much more, but with everything else going on I only got a few things done.

Faith's Christmas dress & leggins -

Faith's Christmas Nightie (made it in 3T hoping it will fit again next year) -

Faith's Snowman Lounge set (2 pairs of leggins that match it, the blue ones also could go under the nightie) -


And finally a shirt embellished as a gift for "other" grandma (aka John's mom) -

I just adore this outfit

I got this fabric and just had to make something out of it.
It will go up for auction in my store tomorrow. There is also a slot for a custom sized raglan top going up tomorrow too.




I just adore this fabric!

My productive day...

Faith spent the day with grammie so i got some sewing done.
2 sets of doll clothes for a trade i did with another online mama.

2 Nightgowns and a PJ set for another trade.


Some stuff from last weekend. I made a bunch of soft blocks w/ jingle bells in them. And i also made some stuffed fuzzy monsters. These items went to a swap i am doing on sewing mama's for holiday kid's gifts.



Thanks for looking!

Struggling...

Because of everything else in my life right now, my sewing is taking a hit. I just can't "get into" it as much. I still have to finish my cousin's wedding throw quilt. The top is done (and has been for a long time), the backing and batting are ready, just got to put it together and "quilt" it, just can't get "into it". And the thing is if I do it just cause i feel pressured too, it won't come out as good as i want, so i'm just gonna wait a bit. You have what 6 months to get them their wedding gift?

The store is going to open on Saturday. Only a few items, i'd hoped to do more but i am just realizing that I am one person. The store was just to be a hobby thing, to help me support my hobby a little bit. So i'm just gonna keep telling myself that.

I have been doing sewing. I made some squishy blocks. I made another pair of flannel lounge pants for yet another trade (i love trading). I also made some Christmas gift bags today. Fabric gift bags that can be reused. I love them, they came out really cute.

Anyway just some rambling. Check out the store to see what i've come up with SEW far.

Lounge Pants

I made 2 pairs of flannel lounge pants for a trade with a fellow WAHM. I think they are so cute. I'm gonna be making some for Faith, i think they'll be super awesome for the winter months. I love flannel, so soft. I even got a pattern for men's lounge pants and am going to try making some for John, not sure how that will go, I'll let ya know :-)

I took the plunge

Into having my own shopping cart for my handmade items...
keep watch for updates.
Please excuse the "simpleness" of it, i am doing my own editing of graphics and what not and I am by no means good at it.
