Scrappy sewing week

Good morning,and happy first day of February!  This past week I have been working out of my scraps,yea!  Before getting to that though,recently we have had some new readers/followers around here which has put the total over the 200 mark.  Pretty excited about that :)))  so...

How about we Celebrate with an Appreciation giveaway?!  Three patterns,so three Winners!!!!  Of course my international peeps are included,wouldn't leave you gals out ;)  If you are not a regular commenter,make sure that you leave me an email address (if it is not linked to your blog)so you can be contacted.

Since it is a new month,I wanted to start off by showing my scrap cutting progress.  This bin was on the verge of overflowing at the beginning of last month!

This pouch is actually made with some of the same fabrics (on the outside)as my Swoon block.  The colors are not showing up correctly though.  I was thinking of sending this along with the larger pouch,but unless I can fix the zipper tabs that will not happen :(

After the zipper tabs fail on the above pouch,I decided more practice was in order.  (also,I plan on selling these at fairs later this year)  So,here are the ten sewn up this week,practice definitely makes better.

Thought you might like to see the main fabrics used for them too.  Yes Hot Wheels,as well as a camping themed one too!  This last summer several guys stopped by my booth to shop,and I decided that there should be some "guy"fabrics included in my products.  Besides,some girls like those things too ;)

All of the above pouches,were made from my smaller than a FQ bin,since I was on a roll...here are another 30 kits all cut and ready to be sewn up!  This idea came to me while making the first ten pouches.  I like it,and plan on doing this with a lot of my staple items.  Although it takes quite a while to do all the cutting,it will be nice to just grab a kit and sew it up.

Hope you have a great weekend,without too much snow or bad weather :)  See you tomorrow with my February goals.

September ALYOF Goal

It is that time again, this month I have decided to go with only One (I know crazy,right) low volume Goal.  Things have been crazy busy not only at work (which leaves me tired every evening)but also here at home,with trying to get everything from the garden put up for this winter.

I have managed to sew up a few little things,in between all the harvesting/canning.

I am going to be taking a little break from all the chaos this next week,so I sewed up these cute little pouches to use!

My Goal:

Earlier this year,my Sweet Friend Jamie over at Busy Bee Quilts sent me this wonderful embroidery book!!  So,my goal for this month is to pick something out of this book and try my hand at some hand stitching.  Deciding what to start with is turning out to be a little harder than I had expected,as all of the designs are so cute!

The only thing I need to purchase is a pen,or something to get the design onto the fabric.  Any ideas,or suggestions??

Craft sale donations

What has been going on in your sewing room?  Here is what I have been up to lately.

Just monkeying around,with a flannel baby quilt for a sweet little girl.

The back of this one is a scrap piece of fleece.

Who wants to snuggle with me?  This one is for a baby boy.

Since I didn't have any matching fleece the back side of this one is also flannel,just a different print.

A couple sets of burp cloths,with flannel down the center.  Each set has three burp cloths in it.

A few little zip pouches,one is made with vinyl so you can see what is inside.  Which would be great for small items while traveling.

Since there are bound to be at least some ladies or men that quilt/sew another dress form pin cushion.

I decided that it was just as easy to make 4 as 1,so here are the other three!  These are a little addicting,not to mention fun to make!  I also have one in the works for my mom,for either mothers day or her birthday :0)

There are also a few pillows that I am going to donate,but I didn't get any photos of them.  Now I need to get busy with the baking part,as the sale is only a few days away!
