Stitch Me A Wish

 If you grew up like me in church, then you would know that every woman had one of those frilly flower ruffled bible covers. This isnt it. I came across this pattern and loved it. Simple and you can use any fabric. And NO RUFFLES lol Here are two i made!  Added embroidery to that one as well And this one was the first i made. Love the way it came out. It was a free tutorial on youtube and is super easy once you make one you will be wanting to make more! 

 I really love to embroider. And to sew. I never ever thought id be one to sew. I even was reminded by my Aunt Dianna this past weekend they I used to say id never do that! lol  But now im addicted. Ten years so far. I have thousands of designs. Here are a few of my favorites! NBC mini tree!                                                     Jem and the Holograms Ornament  Apron Shirt i made for my little love Burp cloth made for my best friends new little girl Just a few of the fun things i have made over the years. Do you have any projects that you love?

 Dear. Lord When I said this bag was going to be large I really mean it is going to be large. My husband thought it was a diaper bag.  Im actually working on the second one ( for a paid order) now. Its a pretty easy sew. Some oops and learning curves.  BUT with some adjustments it could be a great bag. One thing is if you are using cotton for both out and in I really do suggest you use a heavier interfacing on one side for more stability. I think she used a canvas on one side.  Here is the new one - Nightmare before Christmas for an order. Oh and this bag takes a lot of fabric. Not like yards but you will need a yard of each of your fabrics you use for in and out especially if you use it for pockets etc

I have a lot of patterns and I am constantly finding new ones. Free is great. And I then want to try them all. One i have really been trying to find is a messenger bag. I have one- and its pretty simple but it is small and no pockets. And its a bit tricky. Its not hard but the way it is constructed really is a bit weird to do and follow. The only tutorial is a video which i love cause im a visual learner, but i have to watch it over and over to see what im doing. I can get the measurements etc but cant remember how to do it. Ive made several of these bags- most recently for my niece's upcoming birthday. But I needed a larger one with pockets! And i finally found one and its HUGE. Im working on cutting out fabric from my stash to make a tester with it. I have two sold already ( these people really give me too much credit) a Nightmare before Christmas and a Raiders one. I appreciate the support and faith though.   This is the bag i made for my niece. Had some oops attaching the ...

 I always say I am going to do things- and never do them. This year I have made a few goals- goals sounds like a much better word to me.  One of the things is to write and post on here every day something i make, or things i find that i wanna share with someone. I wanted to start this on , you guessed it, Jan 1st lol but life just sucks lately.  So today im sharing one of my goals- which was to get out of my comfort zone and push myself craft wise. In other words sew the damn patterns i have been hoarding since 2002 lol. So i am. And finding new ones to hoard as i go.  Free patterns are the best. I couldnt find one for a wallet i wanted so i gave in and purchased one on etsy. The wallet is great- the person that wrote the pattern, not so great. sorry not sorry. It was not wrote well and I had to muddle through it to figure things out. But i did. ( I wont publicly list the shop etc if you can find it then good on you)  I used some of my stash of mickey fabric to ...
