Nursing Cover

I made this nursing cover for a friend and I like the fabric.

I had some leftover nylon chiffon and made a flower..along with 2 different black and white fabrics.

Baby Boy!

As you may notice, I am having a boy..soon. Therefore, I bought 4 fabric patterns from Heather Bailey and went to work! of course in the meantime of all these projects, my machine went caput and had to borrow a friends (thank you Julia!!).

These projects are feasible, just a little time consuming..on some (like the bumper)

Baby blue, lime green, and yellow are the colors I chose, since the walls in the room were already yellow..so the fabrics are mostly blue and green, with some yellow in 2 of them.

I bought 2 yards of 2 of the fabrics, and 1 yard of the other 2 and was able to make all this! I also used 2 sets of white sheets :) The minky fabric I bought about 1 yard and have some left over.. I even have some left over of the Heather Bailey fabric!

If you want instructions on any of these.. email me and I will be glad to help you out on your project!

Easter Bags!

Any girl would looove these Easter bags! they are easy and quick to make.


1. Cut a 17-by-10-inch piece of felt for the body of the bag. For added decoration, use pinking shears.
2. Cut two 1-by-10-inch strips of felt to reinforce the inside top of the bag. Cut four 1-by-12-inch strips of felt for the handles.
3. Pin together two handle strips, and sew along each long side, close to the edge. Repeat for the second handle.
4. Pin the ends of the handles onto what will be the inside top of the bag (the short ends), 2 1/2 inches in from each side. Pin the 1-by-10-inch strips of felt over the handles, aligning them with the bag's top edges.
5. Sew along each edge of the reinforcement strips, securing the handles as you go.

6. To create the bottom of the bag, fold it in half, wrong sides together, and pin at both bottom corners, 1 inch up from the fold. Fold the bag back, right sides together, and pin along the sides, keeping corner folds in tact. Sew along the sides, 1/8 inch from the edge.

7. Press the bottom side edges of the bag to form a flat bottom. Press the side seams. If desired, punch holes into handles and along the bag's top edges

*I used contrasting yellow strips for the inside of the handles and for the embellishments.. the flowers were hand sewn with a button and I also added a little hot glue.
*The letters were glued on and I used a zig zag stitch around the edges
*The ribbon is hot glued around the seam at the top

Project Display Board

This was super easy and fun to make. I used fabric for the board background. (Chloe's Imagination by Tina Givens) glue it on with modge podge, as well as over the fabric. wrap around the edges of the board as well.

I bought the jumbo clothespins at Hobby Lobby. I copied some other fabrics by Tina Givens that coordinated with the other fabric and printed them off the computer (with the help of photoshop) onto white cardstock. I then glued them on with modge podge and used it on top as well.
Then, embellished them with buttons and ribbon and used hot glue to glue them to the board.

Now my girls will have a stylish board to display their beautiful artwork and school work!

Dolls and Blankets

These dolls are a lot of fun to make and personalize them for the child you are making them for! this one is for my sweet neice :) she is turning 1. One day I figure out how to post the patterns on here..and if anyone knows, please inform me! Otherwise you can check it out at Martha Stewart, black apple dolls. I have modified the arms and hair shape a little..so you can make it how you want. Also, I embroidered the face, rather than paint.

This blanket is also for my neice's birthday! it's a 34"x42" with a 2" satin ruffle trim. Minky swirl and cotton. I prewashed the cotton side before I sewed on the minky side...I think this is a good idea, so that the different type of fabrics can be even when made and washed again.

Christmas Card Wreath

You need: 14" embroidery hoop: paint it any color you like or wrap with ribbon with glue.
small clothespins about 3" apart, glue with hot glue. (I alternated the pins facing different directions, but you can have them all going the same way)
4" ribbon tied between each clothespins
Large ribbon for hanging

Next, pin your Christmas cards onto the clothespins!

Puffy Heart Pendant, Window Seat Cover

Fuschia & Pink swarovski puffy heart

I decided my window cill needed a padded cusion bench seat. So I measure it and got working. I bought 2 in thick foam for the seating. I used Amy Butler print fabric and decorative cord for the edge. I also plan on putting a piece of batting on the top for extra cushion. If you are interested in making one and don't know how, contact me :)

There is a free tutorial for the Puffy Heart Pendant! visit http://www.mydailybead.blogspot.com/

You can use swarovski crystals..which I plan to do the next time, but this one I made with plastic beads and it turned out super cute!!

You need about 76 of one color of bead (about 4mm size) and about 37 or so of another color, same size. 100 cm of bead wire (clear) and another 50 cm (2 seperate pieces).

You also need about 10 small silver balls for the bale and about 12in or so of the wire.

About 3 large beads to fill the inside to keep the heart shape :)

Great gifts for Valentines Day!!
