sneak peek of weekend pics

By On May 21, 2009 · Leave a Comment

I didn’t want you to think that I didn’t take any pics of the Kundhis’ visit. I’ve got a lot of deadlines this weekend and I’m not sure when I’ll finish going through all of the lovely pictures on my camera. Hope this tides everyone over for a little bit!

By On May 21, 2009 · Leave a Comment

I finished a box bag to go with the cashmere sweater tote. It’s the first time I’ve used part of a sweater for one of these. The handle is sewn out of the turtle neck portion of the sweater. I delivered both to their new owner last night and she loves [...]

she put them on herself

I didn’t have the heart to tell her they were on backward, but I couldn’t let her wear them this way. I made up an excuse for us to take them off and then we put them on the correct feet. After I took a picture, of course.

custom cashmere sweater bag

Remember the little peek I gave you of the custom cashmere bag? It’s finished!

It’s based off of Simplicity 3531. My friend gave me the pattern to let me know what she wanted. Problem with working with sweaters, though, is that the sweater dictates the pattern, not the other way [...]

Bella is learning how to tell time. Right now she knows:

8:30 am: stock market opening bell (she loves watching this on cnbc)
12:00 pm: lunchtime
5:00 pm: clifford the big red dog on pbs kids

This weekend was our neighborhood garage sale. We stopped by to say hi to our neighbors and [...]

wardrobe refashion: t-shirt to cardigan

By On May 16, 2009 · 6 Comments

A few days ago I went to straighten up downstairs for house guests and I found this shirt in the closet. I forgot that my mom had left it for me after her last visit. She wasn’t happy with how the v-neck looked. When I tried it on, I thought the same thing. It didn’t [...]

too many projects started…

…not enough finished.

I’ve been really busy lately, but don’t have many pictures to post. How does that happen? This week I worked on a custom sweater bag with coordinating box bag. It’s almost ready for pics. Here’s a peek.

Doesn’t it look soft? It’s cashmere and sewing up beautifully.

how to sew a placemat zipper pouch with only four seams

By On May 13, 2009 · 15 Comments

I found this cute Orla Kiely placemat at Target a few weeks ago and wanted to make something quick and easy for my knitting. Because the edges are already finished, I only needed to sew four seams. If you want a gusseted pouch, you can sew two more seams. Either way, it’s [...]

vacation fabric: omaha tote bag

By On May 11, 2009 · 1 Comment

I don’t buy a lot of my craft stash new, especially without a sale or a coupon. There are times, though, when I indulge myself and it’s usually on vacation. No matter where we go, either for a week or just a night, there’s usually a yarn or fabric store to visit. I try to [...]
