2011-07-22T11:10:00.000-07:00

A view of the shorts, great pattern on the material although I learned next time to use a different material so it has a little bit of stretch in it.

2011-07-22T11:08:00.000-07:00

My very first Pair of shorts! WOW were these a challenge. Lots of mistakes but for my first pair I dont care I'm very proud of myself. No pattern. These will be great to lounge in.

Heather

2011-02-24T19:27:00.000-08:00

Even though pillowcases are very simple to make if you have never made one before then it becomes a new challenge, so this was mine to also learn how to make the seams hidden.

Thanks for looking

Very first lap quilt.................

2011-02-11T12:55:00.000-08:00

Thanks For all the comments I so appreciate it, more projects to come when I get the chance.

Kari, I used a hot glue gue to adhere the fabric to the can. You could even do this idea with smaller cans and make decorative pen/pencil holders.

Have a super day!
Heather

2011-02-05T14:19:00.000-08:00

Very bored today. My toilet plunger needed a new home. So, I used a big can that a friend saved for me, and then used the seams from recycled jeans, and decorated with some fabric flowers. Now how's that for re purposing?

2011-01-31T15:09:00.001-08:00

Plastic grocery bag holder...

2011-01-19T10:56:00.000-08:00

I am such a purse a holic

and was in need of a new one....

teal lining and a teal fabric flower :)

2011-01-19T10:55:00.001-08:00

This pink dangle bracelet

was loads of fun to make....

I am not usually a pink kind of gal

but lately been loving the pink~

2011-01-12T13:37:00.001-08:00

We bought a funky new remote and it was crying out to me for a new home so I sewed an armchair caddy. Kinda funky material to boot.

Zipper obsession

2011-01-05T10:30:00.000-08:00

Zippers can be frustrating and scary especially to beginner sewers like me. I haven't really used any pattern for my little zip pouches, just winged it. For learning to use zippers, I just googled it and checked on you tube.

I need to get the inside lining a little better so that will be the focus the next few days for me.

Hope you have a good day for creating

Heather

2011-01-04T15:58:00.000-08:00

Another zip pouch...

yep I think I found a new addiction :)

2011-01-03T15:49:00.000-08:00

My latest challenge has been zippers.

and finding other ways to use up scraps and jeans etc.

I came up with trying to make little zippered pouches.

Just have to work on the inside lining area a bit yet.

but another neat way to use those fabric flowers!

What do you think?

2011-01-02T18:38:00.000-08:00

Was trying to come up with a new pattern,

and came up with this design.
