An Apron

My brother in law has a pretty steller girlfriend... she is awesome... (hint) so last week she asked for an apron, she wanted damask and she wanted black trim. I asked her to please trust me... and if she hated it I would make something different. So I did polka dots! Needless to say she loved it... the polkadot just added personality! I am so glad that she let me do this!!!

I have been busy... But have eye candy!

I am so sorry I have been busy. But with being sick last week, and preparing for the Christmas Craft Fair (my first one) and working full time, and the kids I have had no time to thing.... I forgot to eat one day last week, it was 4 before I even thought about it... So again I am sorry... but I thought I would share some new products with you.
This picture looks dark, and I see that now that they are uploaded... but the fabric is the same used in the camera/ iphone/cell phone cases




These are the camera/iphone/cellphone cases.



So this is just a little of what I have been working on... on top of that my girlfriend made little buisness cards for me to have at the fair... and to put on products. These are it... I couldn't decide which one I liked better... so both it is!



I hope to post some more... again I am really sorry!!!

Hey everyone... I am so sorry I have been M.I.A the last few days... I have been pretty sick and really just not able to blog.... my mind was foggy!

WHOO ARE YOU?

Yeah another week of learning about other bloggers.... Come on and join the fun!

1.What was your favorite meal growing up?
My mom's homemade pizza or lasagna.... both were and still are my favorite foods.
2. What's your favorite month?
I would say December.... I am a MAJOR fan of Christmas... if it wasn't for hubby the Christmas tree would be up in November... I mean Nov 1st! Cause it goes up the last weekend of Nov.
3. What store is most represented in your wardrobe?
Ricki's Clothing Co. I don't know if they have that in the states... but it rocks!

4. How many times do you go to the movie theater each month/year? Um... Maybe 3-5 times... I know that it is not often at all, and the only reason it goes as high as 5 is because they have kids movies!
5. Fill in the blank- I've never been able to read a pattern... I suck at it.

How to change to a zipper foot.

Okay so I made a zipper pouch the other day, and a follower made a comment that she didn't know how to change a zipper foot WELL... while I am not an expert here are some picture that I hope help.

Step#1: Take your regular sewing foot off, on most if not all machines (to my knowledge) have a little button like this black one that my finger is on that you simply press and your foot will "drop" off.


Step#2: Take your zipper foot, it is divided down the middle, I always use the right side, but you don't have to.


Step#3: Line the zipper foot up and mine all you do is lower the arm and the foot will pop on, however, you may need to press the little black button again to get the "claw" to open up.




I am sorry this probably makes no sense, but if you have any questions let me know. I love putting zippers in, they really are fun and easy once you just bite the bullet and give it a shot.

PS. Sorry for the mess in my pictures, I am working on more zipper pouches YEAH!!!

The Big Bag!

Monday night I was playing around with some fabric... I wanted to try a different way of doing the zipper in my zipper pouch bags... you see... the thing I HATE is the ends... they just don't seem to look the way that I want. So I added little ends to them, and then quilted the front of the bag. I used all of my new fabric and I love it.








This little big bag is awesome... standing on it's own at 7x10 inchs with a 4 inch box pleate bottom and interfacing makes this perfect for make-up, nail polish and gear, toiletry bag, kids game bag... really so many possibliies.... So I must ask... what would you use this bag for??? Do you have a favorite bag that you use???
