Fabric trash bin for the car.

I am proud to say I designed this little trash bin for my car because I was sick of the plastic bags I was using, they just aren’t pretty. My center console has this little compartment and I have no idea what they are for. They are 4″ long, 1″ wide and 1 1/2″...

Scrap buster: Mug Rugs

I keep seeing mug rugs all over the place and decided to make a few. They are small, easy and oh so addictive. They’re also great scrap busters!!! The first one I made, the green one, is smaller than the other two. It’s the first one I made, and while I sketched it on...

Potholder fail.

Potholder fail.

I tried making some potholders with scrap fabric and an old fleece blanket. They came out great… If you don’t mind burning your hand, haha. I did not make them thick enough. Next time I will test before I sew. I should have doubled the fleece I think. It’s a little upsetting because they...

Easy Menu Planning Board

I found a menu board on Pinterest that I thought was pretty sweet and wanted to try to make it myself. My board is based off the photo, however, if you’d like to view the original and the instructions that go with it, you can find that here. My instructions are different. You’ll need:...

Fabric “basket”…. Or a tote with small handles.

Last year I made Hannah a quilt with these fabrics and had some leftovers that have just been sitting in a box. Leftover squares I didn’t end up using, leftover strips. So I decided to make her this basket/tote for her random toys that can’t fit into the way I currently organize the toys...

Coat Hanger Organizer.

I made this coat hanger organizer yesterday morning. It didn’t take long and it was sew easy. I didn’t even use a pattern, if you can believe that. The only thing I don’t currently like about it is the  empty plain space at the top. But I guess I can either applique something on...

My new purse and matching coin purse.

This weekend I made this lavender scented rice heating pad for my Aunt. The last time I made her one was four years ago and it wasn’t as nice. She still uses it. Figured it was time to send her a new one! I hope she likes it. The pattern for the rice pad...

Handmade: Clothes for Hannah

Pretty cute stuff! Love the fabric, which I actually found at Walmart, very bright, very fun, very…. hippie! haha. Hannah loves it when I make her clothes, she tells everyone and she loves to model them for me. The pants are elastic waist, easy peasy. You can’t see in the photo but there is...

I never did mention.

I never did mention.

I haven’t been blogging much lately. I think part of that has to do with the fact that my husband now reads my blog. And I don’t mind that he reads it, but it’s a little weird for me. I’d love to explain that, but I can’t. Hannah turned three this month. I can’t...

I’ve been sewing.

It’s so addictive. Not only have I been sewing purses, but I came up with my own pattern, and wrote a tutorial, which you can purchase for $6!!! I am so proud of myself! There’s a link in the sidebar, over there –> So… what do you think? Not too bad huh?
