Sew Sister Sew

I started sewing again last year. If your interested in sewing here are some cool books...

I'm really into sewing purses, so you know what your getting for Christmas...It may have something in it too....


I made these using fat quarter bundles from Joannes for $9.99 less 40% off...4 fat quarters made 4 little wallets and I traded scraps from a friend to get a different design.

The pattern call for a snap but, I used velcro, I didn't want to hand sew them or use the expensive ones they cost as much as the material, and I was told the large snaps could ruin your credit cards, but for the grown ups I'll use the small magnetic snaps..it's nicer.

I'm making a bunch of these in different sizes... Just increase size on your printer...a quick and easy gift....
I love this bag, I want one for myself but I promised myself to make gifts FIRST... I'm really trying hard to keep my word.



My first Purse... for a friend she picked out her fabric...

National Sewing Month

Today starts...

So I have mentioned before I have Rheumatoid Arthritis... which makes it hard for me to sew sometimes but I found these @ Joannes and they are great! They cost $16.99 and worth every penny. They give your fingers support and keep your joints warm, which helped me finish my pillows for my sofa...yeah!

These are my pillows... they have zippers that I learn to sew in my sewing class. Can you tell I'm thrilled?
My sofa is not the most fashionable but it is comfortable, which allows me to get off the couch. I have what we call the "expensive chair" and they both came from Lazyboy furniture , the only store that had sofas high enough for me to sit comfortable.



SEW SOMETHING...this month.

I've been SEW-RIGHT this Month!!!

Wow I started Taking sewing classes and it has really inspired me to finish my items not just to start something. Thanks..Donna my instructor. She started us with pot holders then, an apron after that we can sew what ever we want, I'm working on sofa pillows for my new sofa. I also started a baby quilt and matching bibs for a friend and FINISHED IT YEAH!! All in one week.
