boredom...



I was a little bored the other day and I found this tutorial for a pincushion. So...I tried to make it. It was harder than I thought, and I didn't have the right kind of buttons for the middle. (I think) But, I guess it will hold the pins good enough.

Slipcover.....Done!!



Here's the slipcover that mom was helping me with at the last sewing night. I was pretty proud of how it turned out. I don't think I'll slipcover a sofa anytime soon but I would definitely do another little chair like this....and maybe try to add the cording or whatever it's called.....Anyway, not too bad for my first zipper, eh?

a little tote...


I was a little bored today...and since i got a lot of cute material with Becky the other day, I thought I'd put some to use. I really wanted to make a bigger bag, but I only bought half a yard of the cute flower material. So I just made a simple tote. I want to make some more of these so I can use them at the grocery store. ( But I think they should be bigger for the grocery store..I don't know), I'll attempt another bag on our sewing night with Mom.
p.s. the colors are a lot brighter in person, I couldn't wait for tomorrow to take a picture.
Love you guys!!
