Scraps

This one goes with a vintage suitcase that I love. The one below I'm currently using daily.

Made a couple of these bags from what was a free tutorial. The pattern is now for sale at Diary of a Flutter Kat's Blog. It's a good one!

Resolutions

I spent some time reviewing things I've made and looking at what I have posted over the years I'd like to make. Committing this year to making a few of them:

Crib Sheet tutorial

Bought the fabric and the binding to make this Vintage Smock. Sew Mama Sew posted three separate tutorials to walk folks through the process.

Reversable drawstring bag----lunch bag---or just because!

First Full Bed Size Quilt

I've made alot of small quilts and odd sized couch quilts, but other than the twin size I made for my son this s the largest one made so far. Already started on another that I hope to show soon though with Sugar Flower. This one is Hello Betty by Moda.

I showed my I Candy once before, but it wasn't quite ready to go to the quilter. Two jelly rolls were just shy the size I needed for a full sized bed. Added a 2.5" borderd to complete it. Ordered a backing today. Can't wait to see this quilted and bound.

Alien Hat!

When my daughter said she wanted an Alien hat, I thought ick! I didn't want to invest the time into it, but this sure turned out cute. She is super happy with it.


I used this basic pattern (knit in the round though). Then took pieces of wool, used fray check on the edges and sewed it to the hat. Still thinking about adding pompons to the straps, but she says she likes it like it is. I'm thinking little silver pompons would be really cute though.....just saying!
