Fraying

On the boots you have your seams showing so that you can later cut them. Once you cut all of them u put them in the washer and it gives them a frayed look. I love this feature. But maybe just cause I love to fray! Thats all of the pics I have I enjoyed learning how to make these!

The Ties

I Loved the ties on the boots I just thought they added that extra special thing to make them extra cute.. and they weren't suprisingly hard. They were especially fun cause you got to choose the way to sew them on, I did the box with an / to secure them.. I really like them!

Binding and Inside.

I usually hate putting binding (Bias tape) on but it was very easy and I thought it made the boots look very neat and more sturdy.. For the inside it had you use cuddle flece... Ive never worked with cuddle flece before but I dont recomend it. It was slightly difficult. But once I sewed it all together it made it super soft and comfertable. They are now nice and toasty!

Boots!

To take a quick brake from baby month I signed up for a class to make these very cute boots.. They took me 10 hours and ended up not fitting.... Yes I was upset but after wearing them alot they stretched and fit! Here are some pics.

Leila's Rug

To kick off baby month I made a rug for Leila, this goes along with my Daisy Dew Drop garden... But check it out I think it came out adorable!

Baby Month!

At the Start of July I started Baby Month and I have been making some stuff for cute little Leila.. But I cant post certain things cause I dont want chelsea to see them!

My rug!

Now this rug I happened to make for myself. I loved the fabric and it turned out cute!

Jordan's rug

This rug I made for baby Jordan pud had me make it... I loved it but I had to leave for trek so johnna sewed the bias around the peddals.

Johnna's rug

This one is the one I made for Johnna's birthday.... The hardest parts about these were the bias around the peddals.. everything else was okay. I thought hers turned out great and she loved it!

My daisy dew drop garden!

In the fabric store in idaho i got this great pattern for this very cute flower rug..

Dress

This was a very tough project..It all started when I couldnt find me a dress so I decided to just make my own.... The pockets kinda made the dress look bumpy so I would leave that out next time.. The arm holes were really tight so I had to go and reduce the seam allowence... Anyway thats the dress!

Baby blanket

This is just a simple baby blanket my mom had me make her.. I did six by six squares with the minky and the peace fabric then when and sewed X's through all of them... It was time consuming but fun.. For the border my aunt showed my mom a new way. you just take a strip and do it to all four sides then do the same with the other side then sew all the sides together... It sounds hard but it very easy. It turned out very cute.

Hoodie

Yes its finally done! I actually finished a long time ago but it just took me awhile to post about it. I had alot of fun with it I ordered the pattern from my teacher.... I loved making it, I did mess up though with the fabric being the wrong way but other than that it was easy. The only other hard part was the hood but once I had that figured out it was very simple. It was a very fun project!

Sweater

I decided I needed a new comfy shirt/sweater... so I took my hoodie pattern and twiked it and made me this sweater.

Bonnet

While making my skirt i decided to make a bonnet... I got this idea from this other persons blog.. named Given Moments Bonnet Tutorial. It was very easy and quick I made two, one to match my skirt and one just gray.

Skirt

The first thing I made was a skirt. I bought a pattern at Joanns, there was a sign next to the pattern that said $3.99 but when I checked out it was like $18.00 so when you buy a pattern make sure you check how much it is.. Anyway the skirt was really simple I made it in a day and I put an elastic band in, you couuld put ribon or anything. I put two different fabrics, my main part was gray and the band around it was green with a white design. Then at the end I added a green trim around the bottom. Im suprised how well it turned out it looks exactly like a pioneer skirt!

Trek

This summer I will be attending the trek... For the trek you must dress like a pioneer and my mom got me this dress that I did not want to wear. So I was inspired to make my own pioneer clothes.

Sorry!

Dear fellor bloggers... I'm so sorry I havent been keeping you updated on my projects lately.. I've been very busy with school and other events. Fortunatley im already half way done with the hoodie. I recently finished another project today and I will be posting about it today and adding pictures tomorrow.. Im so sorry for loosing my true bloggerness.

Next Project

My next project is...... The Hoodie! Three out of six people voted for the hoodie so that's what its going to be... Please every make sure you vote its a lot of fun if you do!

Flap & Snaps

Located on the back of the Laundry Bag is a flap so you can get your clothes out. But you had to put snaps in so that your clothes do not fall out. I believe this is the hardest part of the project. If I ever did this again I wouldn't even think about putting snaps on. With snaps your suppose to hand sew them on, which I was fine with but ever time I would start my thread would get caught on something a snap in half. Then on the second snap I spent an hour sewing it on and guess what? I sewed it on the wrong side! That's when I had enough so I went and took off the presser foot on my Machine. I lined up the whole with the needle and spinned the hand wheel up and down until all five snaps were done. Next time I will use velcro.

Aplique & Bias tape

On the laundry bag there is some letters that say WASH ME! In-order to get the letters on I had to do what is called Aplique. This wasnt my first time doing aplique. A few months ago I had made a pillow with my name on it using aplique. I love aplique it isnt very hard if you take your time and go slow. The rounded letters like the S, are the hardest. To finish off the circle and the sides I put Bias tape around the raw edges. Now I had bought 1/2 inch brown Bias tape. If you ever do this project do NOT get 1/2 inch get a whole inch. It is very hard to match up 2 layers of fabric and little bias tape.. It took about 2 hours to pin around the whole thing with about a hundred. So my only advice on aplique and bias tape is, get 1 inch bias tape instead 1/2.

Hanging Laundry Bag!

Finally I finished the Hanging Laundry Bag. It was a very time consuming project. Now to explain the bag, it has a whole in the middle to put my clothes in, and on the back it has snaps and a flap to get the clothes out. Overall it turned out very cute. I will go into more detail just this is explaining the project I chose.

Next Project.

By Popular damand by my "many" followers.. My next project shall be....... Hanging laundry bag!

Messenger Bag

Now this is a project I got while I was visiting my grandparents. It was one of my first real projects on my own... I bought the pattern that I looked most simple. I ended up with the Jen Giddens Classic Messenger bag. It called for 1 1/3 of exterior fabric, 1 yard of lining, 1 1/3 of duck cloth, and a d-ring and a swivel clasp. This project was very fun and is great for beginners. The instructions were very clear on most parts. My first trouble was how to sew the bag corners because the insturctions were not very clear on that... Then when I was making the pockets it didnt have the best discription on how to do it so I made up my own pocket. The last touble I had was in the instructions it didnt tell me to cut the duck cloth into the strap as well as the exterior but I eventually caught on. So if you ever plan on making this project just remember those few things.. Other than that its a great project and I advise for everyone to make this project. The finnished product is so cute. This was deffinatly a great project!

Laying it All Down

Hi, This is my new sewing blog. Starting next week I will be blogging about all the projects I will be making. About a month ago I had to write a persuasive essay for my English class. I was suppose to ask my parents for one thing that I really wanted. I asked for a Bernina Sewing Machine and after weeks of asking, my parents gave in. I needed something to sew so I went to my grandma's house and there is a cute little fabric store there. That is where I got a book that gave 101 ideas to sew with just one yard. So for the next few months I will be trying to sew most of the things in the book. I will also be sewing many other things. So I hope you enjoy my sewing adventure!
