SF BAG NO 2... my first zippered pocket attempt!

My first time sewing a zipper inside a bag.  It was a little challenging, but it turned out OK.  This bag will be going to the the consignment store, wish it luck!  3 out of 5 bags, down...two to go!

Hi Everyone!  I wanted to share a really cute website with all of you!  Check it out: http://www.etsy.com/shop/Threadmill?ref=top_trail

Dottie made me a hat, and it is REALLY cute!  The hat was made and sent to me very fast and I love it.  It's called a "Rasta Hat", you can wear it however you want.  I am a self proclaimed Hippie, and I love the way it looks and makes me feel, it has a very laid back feeling to it.  BUT these are not the only hats she has, she has SEVERAL more on her etsy site, you should check it out.   Thank you so much for making the hat for me Dottie!

Here are some pics of the hat, most of my hair is tucked back inside the hat, but you can wear the hat with as much hair as you want in or out of it.   CHECK IT OUT!:

Hello Meow Meow!

My friend had asked me to sew her a bag MONTHS ago, here it is:

Inside print.. snap closure.

It was my first time using a packaged pattern; Simplicity 0483.  I modified it a little bit too.  Instead of sewing the handle directly on the purse, I used "D Rings", first time for that too.  I wasn't too sure how to sew the fabric around them, but I think I did OK.   Anyway, I hope you like it, Grease Monkey.

Past Due Baby Blanket

My friend had her baby... awhile ago.  July 29th to be exact.  I made her a blanket (the first blanket I have made) that I thought would be simple; a front panel sewn to a piece of fleece.  However, my mom suggested that I embroider some of the images, so I did.  It took awhile, but the back looks cute, the back of it appears to have an outline of the panel.  I know its hard to see, but if you look REALLY close, you can see it.  There are some felt flower patches I put on opposite corners of the blanket, one of them has the baby's name and birthday on it.  It was also my first time making a card using my Cuttlebug!!  Anyway, its finally done.  I hope you like it Lynsay.  ♥ ❤ ♥ ❤ ♥

The back has a little flower patch made out of felt, it has the baby's name and DOB embroidered on it.

My 1st CARD!

Finished, yay!

I also made this a wall decoration.. haha =P

Sports Bag

World Champions 2010!

I made my own labels! Avery labels and card stock.

I made this bag for my Aunt about a year ago before the Giants won the World Series last year.  She will be taking the bag I made her to the consignment store to see if the lady will sell them there, along w/ my key fobs!  

The inside is lined in ORANGE and has a magnetic snap; the little flower decal on it is a pin so you can move it about on the bag, or just wear it on your clothes.  It was hard to construct the bottom of the bag, but it worked out.  It actually has some cross stitching canvas on the bottom of it to help it keep its shape.  

Cross Stitch Canvas

Glad my Aunt likes it enough to show it to her friend!  =)
