One of the things I've made is Bible Bands. I got the idea from Patter who blogs at Triple the Scraps. You can find her tutorial **here**.
The images below are Bible bands that I've made. Of course if you make one for a friend and another friend sees it, guess what? You make another and another and another.....
I like small quick projects when it comes to sewing. Another fun thing I started making over the summer is key fobs. Pictured below is a basket of them I made as favors for my daughter's baby shower.
Needle books are another thing I started making this year. They are easy to make and are a nice gift to give. You could even thread the needles in advance so they are ready to go. I think this would make a nice gift to give at a bridal shower. Something always needs to be tucked, pinned or stitched up quick on a wedding day.
I like to re-purpose things and have made simple tote bags using clothing, shower curtains, pillow shams and placemats to name a few. I am a bit of a fabric
A lot of my sewing inspiration comes from pinterest. You can see my boards **here**.
I hope you've enjoyed some of my projects. Have a wonderful weekend.
Abby thank you for your wonderful posts today about some simple creative projects. I have been looking for something easy to make after a pause from sewing.
ReplyDeleteThese are easy things I can make for my granddaughters or the ladies in my Bible Study.
Blessings to you this day,
Pat
Dear Abby, I have never seen these Bible bands! They are so cute! I just loved seeing your inspiring ideas! I needed this as I just sat down today and hemmed some curtains and made a few burp cloths! Sometimes I need a fun project to sew that I can just give away!
ReplyDeleteAnd the little sewing kit! My grandson's would love these for their survival kits, of course I would have to use Camo fabric LOL
Blessings to you! Roxy
You are so creative and talented, my friend. I love the Bible bands - what a clever idea!
ReplyDeleteI can tell each item is made with love and care. Hugs to you!
Love your Bible bands, Abby. I've never seen them before. I can imagine you get lots of interest in them at church.
ReplyDeleteLove the key fobs & especially love the needle books. Such a lovely gift idea for a new bride.
Thanks again for the lovely inspiration.
Huggies & Sweet Blessings
Your needle sewing books are darling! I love your fabric choices :) Thanks for sharing with us.
ReplyDeleteSince I am the proud owner of two key fobs, I can vouch for your sewing skills. I am so like you in that I prefer smaller projects. I don't think I have enough attention power to stick to a bigger one. You bless your friends and family with your projects I know!
ReplyDeleteHi Abby
ReplyDeleteI sure did enjoy seeing all of the lovely things you have been sewing. A quick thing I make is pocket warmers with rice in them. They can be heated in the microwave and be put in pockets before going out into the cold. I use soft recycled winter coat fabric to make them. Blessings and hugs!!!
Hi Abby, thank you for showing us your latest creations. I have just gotten back into sewing after some time away, and I love your projects.
