Jack's Quiet Color Book

This design is from Shelley Wallace designs. I am at my daughters and she suggested we use the Crop-a-dile Big Bite to punch the holes in the sides before inserting the rings. It worked great! Now onto Emily's "Pocket Book" from Shelley Wallace Designs.

Bath Towels for Elizabeth

Teresa, my daughter and I were talking one day about the quality of the baby towels and how they weren't very warm. Sew I got an idea to take a regular towel cut it in half and use that instead of the ones you can purchase. I know that alot of them have the hoods attached in the corner, but for an infant we thought that just bundling them up in this would be better. We will see when Elizabeth arrives in February!

Stitch Magazine - Apron Pattern

I found a new magazine, at least new to me, Stitch. I don't know about anyone else, but there just isn't a very large selection of sewing magazines that have to do with general sewing with different projects etc. There seem to be lots of quilting magazines out there so I was excited when I ran across this issue. Included in the magazine are full size patterns as well. This particular pattern was not included in the full size patterns, but it gave directions for cutting it out by measurements. It was challenging and once it was cut out I put it up to me and it was very long, so I cut off 6 inches along the hem line so that it was shorter. I also installed a wide curved pocket and added bias tape to the upper edge of it. I sewed the pocket down the middle creating two pockets.

Handbag by Amy Butler

Amy Butler's Stash & Dash Bags

Another Amy Butler pattern! What can I say, I just really love her designs. This fabric was left over from my daughter's hospital gown when she went in to have my grandson, Jack. I purchased the fabric at JoAnn's and I believe they still carry it. The pattern was purchased at a quilt shop in Palo Alto, but I know that Tall Mouse carries her patterns as well. Fairly easy to make, directions easy to follow.

Nothing to do with Sewing!

I just had to share with you what I did with my paper from Amy Butler. There Hershey bars wrapped up in beautiful paper and I used my Sizzix to cut out the flowers. I keep a half dozen or so on hand at work so I can slip one into a mail box of someone who is celebrating their birthday.
