My Apron is Done!!! Yay!

This took me a long time and I would do a few things differently, but I am very proud of myself for accomplishing this! Thanks for looking!

My Apron is Nearly Done!!!!

I have pieced it all together and am ready to sew it together. Problem: I hit a pin with my needle. It's time to make dinner anyway, so I will take a break until tomorrow morning. This has a been a fun project. I am new to sewing and I have made this whole thing up without a pattern. I think it will be very cute and functional. I am looking forward to having it completed. My goal is to have it done by my stamping retreat next weekend as another project that can be completed with the SU! Scalloped Square Die and the Sizzix Big Shot. Enjoy!

Aprons!

Can you believe it? Two posts in one day! Oh my. My creative juices are flowing today! My next project is an apron. I have cut out all the front squares and lined about a third of them with batting. Here's what it looks like so far. Check in soon for the finished project!

My Latest Venture

I have started making these business card wallets. As you can see, I have been trying to sew more and get the hang of it. ;) I think I am getting a bit better. Check them out! If you want me to put directions up, no problem, simply post a comment and I will draw up some details!

Rag Quilt Bag Success!

So, I finally dug my sewing machine out, and after much frustration, I finished my first bag all without any help or instruction! I am so proud of myself. I have made one other in a class, but I did this one all by myself. I used the Stampin' Up! Scallop square die to cut my fabric squares, which I put together with fusable batting. Then, I sewed the edges together to make the frayed-looking edges out of the scallops. I ran out of fabric, so I used a coordinating ribbon. :) It's super cute. Enjoy!

Listed my First Necklace on ETSY today!

Here it is! I am so excited! Check it out at by clicking on my store link to the left! Next, I am making wine glass charms for door prizes. I'll post those when I'm done! Enjoy!

My ETSY Store is doing pretty well!

My ETSY store was opened on Saturday, and already I've made 6 sales! Mostly retired stamps, but some of my custom items as well! I am so excited!
