Sewing Projects

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend.  I celebrated by going to church and then a picnic with my family.  It was a good day.  

I haven't shared any sewing projects with you in quite a while, so I went to my archives and found some of my favorites.  Each project was made with care for a specific individual.  I rarely sew without having the person in mind that I'm giving it to.  Please bear in mind, these projects were made over a period of time - I didn't want you to picture me huddled over my machine for hours.  If you sew, hopefully this post will encourage you to get back at.  Here they are.

This was made using a quilted pillow sham.

Quilted placemats were used for this bag.

Quilted placemats + sewing = zippered cosmetic bag

Baby burp cloths with some fun flannel fabrics

I like the combo of pink, green & tan

Another slouchy tote, made with Pottery Barn Fabric I've had for years.

There are so many fabulous sewing blogs that offer free patterns and tons of inspiration to sew.  You can also purchase hundreds of patterns on etsy which can be emailed to you. 

In other news, I've started adding pages to my blog.  As a fairly new blogger, there's lots to learn but I'm always a work in progress.  My first page is "About My Images" which you can find by clicking the picture below, or of course on the top of my blog page.  

Have a blessed day dear ones.
