Marking off my list...

I finished more things... and made something for me!
No the robe isn't mine...

 I made another robe for a happy little boy. Since I made the princess robe for his sister, he wanted a boy style for himself.. I couldn't let him down = ) He put a rush on me to finish it by this weekend so that I did.. He is a happy camper!!

 Along with some new shorts ....

 I finished my purse from the Jules Bag pattern. I'm not sure about the yellow binding.. I only had enough of the denim trim for the pockets.. I was hoping my mom would have more as she gave me the trim to begin with but no luck.. and no luck finding it at Joann's. So yellow it is.

 I changed the straps on it a bit.. I like the look of multiple stitching on straps.. and it gives it a solid feel to it with no slipping off my shoulder.

 Inside plenty of room!

 I love the outside pockets .. good for throwing your keys and phone into and not losing it deep in your bag!

My next project up to do is a test pattern for a messenger bag!!! Wish me luck!

Seriously???

A whole month I haven't posted??? Whaaaa???
I have missed it though! And I got some goodies to show you!

Lets see.......hmmm some of you have seen some of this on  my facebook, but I'll post them anyways.. I can't remember anything I've done lately lol

I made a jumper and a princess robe for my friends little girl. She turned 3 and she's a princess of course.. so I had to make the robe just for her = ) She loves it! and wears it to bed (as hot as it has been!)  and had wore it to town once lol

I been making some custom E reader covers and been having some very satisfied customers !!! =)

 This red one was a weird size for a Sony reader and I thought the cut out of the card board I used for sizing looked tight.. but the device fit perfectly!!! yay!

 I designed a wallet.. again.. I made one similar awhile back and got mad at it and threw it in my corner , I think its still there! hehe
But this one I made this morning and I loved the colors I used and thought I had it figured out! It a easy pattern and not sure what I was doing wrong!
cute huh???

 It has 6 card slots and a receipt/cash pocket.. I like simple.. I wanted a clear window for my license and I.D.

I put all my goodies inside and closed it and it was TIGHT! omgosh what?

I wasn't happy with it.. what I did wrong the bias trim on the clear pocket is too thick.. and I used heavier fabric for the exterior and interfaced it ......blah!

So.. back to the drawing board..oh, after a power outage of about a hour !!!

I made it a tad longer and used quilter cottons and interfaced with thinner stuff.

TADA!!

 I'm soo happy with this one! All my cards slots are roomy ,

 My receipt pocket will hold lots of receipts..

 and it closes great!!! I stitched up 3 lines instead of one middle one.. it closes better! gives it a book like feel .

I believe I want to make some of these up to sell..My mom and I are going to try to get a yard sale going soon and I'll try to sell some of my crafty things.

I'm making this tote bag but ran out of the fabric I used..this is what I've finished so far.

 I made a littler bag of the same patter and it was like way too small and love the pockets on this bag!
See my welted pocket!!! I'm proud of that baby!

Theres a large deep pocket on the back and the dived pocket on the front.

I have to get fabric for the straps.. I used this pattern from HERE . I think I bought it from Joann's ,I can't remember for sure...

I'll be craft supply shopping tomorrow!! Got to get fabric for a new messenger bag I'm helping to test by Jane at http://projectsbyjane.blogspot.com/ .!!! She is very detailed with her patterns and I love them. You need to go over and check out her free tutorials as well as her Etsy shop!!! 

A storm is coming so need to get off her and I think my sewing bug is back..There has been alot going on with me and I just told myself to get with it SUE!!! snap out of it! .....slap slap.. I got many things to catch up on!!! Seeya!

Peekie boo

I am posting!! yay!!! I had a few minutes to get this on.. so here goes..

I made some summery night gowns for two little girls this week.. Our Zoey and my friend's daughter, Maddy. Luckily they are both the same size!

 I used some vintage sheets my friend Dana gave me. Love how they are so soft and thin and roomy for the little girls.

 Our little Zoey trying her hardest to stand still one sec. Its very hard to do with her. She likes to wave while she says cheeseeeeeeeeeee.

I had 4 cut out..but I did a ooops.. I cut one side on the wrong "fold" line lol then didn't have enough to finish it..I'll figure something out...

I might not be so distance from the blog after all!! Things seem to settle abit around here. Remember the house with the basement we were going to do?? Nope.. not going to happen. We won't have enough to finish the top floor and we do not want to start the project and run out of money... sooooooo we decided to stay put and put a front and back porch on the one we are in now. Plus Doug is in need of another truck..so we have to get that too...Actually its some stress off both our shoulders now! ugh.

My sewing mojo is returning slowly.. I try to stick to some simple things..
Here are my next 2 projects on my want to get done for me list...

I bought this pattern from Jane over on Projectsbyjane. She had all her patterns for sale last week and I had to grab this one up! It's just my style!!! They are not on sale any longer but you need to check out all her patterns and cute little pouches and bags she has in her Etsy shop!!

Love all the pockets on the outside!
I think I bought this at Joann's years ago.. not sure?

Have a good weekend!
