University Of Georgia Purse

Here is a purse I made for my friend Amanda that has been giving me fits to put together. I cut out the pattern without checking to make sure the fabric pattern was running the right way. So I had to recut the patter, luckily I had enough fabric left over to do that. Off to more knitting to kill time!







AND...

My dog Molly cuz I think she's adorable!

Living Room Curtains

I finally made curtains for the living room, after having the fabric taking up space in my linen closet for three months! They didn't turn out quite the way I wanted. I'm thinking about starting over again with them but don't know. For now they'll work because I have other projects I want to try. I'm going to attempt to make a pair of jeans since they're hard to find that fit the way I like. Here are the pics!

They are burgundy on front, black on the back, with black tabs.
I'm piecing together quilt-top pillows for my couches but they're nowhere near done yet. I'll post more pics when I'm done with the pillows.
Later gator!

Crib Set

This is a crib set that I made for an e-friend's new daughter. It's not super fancy or anything, but it's the way the girl wanted it. Sorry for the pics, I didn't take them!

You can't see much detail here sorry
Here's the main fabric I used. University of Tennessee Volunteers
I used white satin blanket binding for the edges of the blanket and the ties on the bumper pads.
The set included a blanket, bumper pads, and a pillow.

Some stuff I've made...

Here are a few things I've made lately. Please excuse the off stitching, I've just started seriously getting into sewing in the past few months.

I also made a phone case that matches but I don't have a picture of it.

The picture below is of a sewing maching quilt that I made after getting the idea from Get Your Craft On!. This is definitely not my best work! This is only my second time working with a binding strip and I don't think I like them very  much. We'll see, hopefully it's just me being inexperienced that's making it be such a chore to put on.

I love the blues in the fabric with the green ribbon binding!

Just started this blog...

I've never had a blog before so I'm kinda excited! I've been following several sewing blogs lately and decided to start one of my own, just for fun. It's not gonna have all sewing related posts, it's gonna be my journal of sorts. Looking forward to hearin' from folks!
