Some happiness few and far between


I had to feel productive on July 4th.I have a need for pin cushions. Using the plastic caps from water bottles. I hate plastic water bottles. I use a Tervis Tumbler for my water,no bottled water. But what a great idea to use the tops to any plastic containers and make it into a pin cushion. Cut a circle out of leftover scraps an then stuff it with stuffing. Hot glue it to the plastic cap of your choice.

Machine Embroidery Class

This morning was my class. We made a luggage tag. Very cute. For my daughter Christine. Her big brother couldn't say Christine, so he called her Kiki.

Project Finished. My friend Uwessa who had a birthday in May is waiting for a homemade gift I promised and this will work. How cute it turned out with the beading and decorative stiches.

The Fever

In an effort to get my adult daughter to like sewing as much as I do, we went to Joanne Fabric's. Bought a simple dress pattern.



We bought 2 different fabrics.



We plan on making the dress on the right side, view A. More posts to come with the finished fashions.
