So much accomplished

I have finished so many orders the last few days :)


Here are some of the spa hair wraps I completed for an order!


Here are a pair of Personalized Tie Shirts I completed for a wonderful lady and her two sons named Tres' and Taylen.



An Adorable Initial Tie Onesie with the initial M for a cute little boy!


Here is a Gift set that was ordered, in the damask fabric with the initial "Z". She ordered the onesie, shoes and bow... I made the matching burp rag with accented pink "Z" as a freebie! (It was my first burp rag attempt, and I think it came out cute!)




All this being said, I guess you can tell I did get a new replacement BROTHER! lol
It was a very simple cheap walmart brand machine, just until I am able to do some comparison shopping for a better name brand one.

I hope everyone has a wonderful day!

Happy Sewing,

R.I.P. Brother!!!

O.Kay,
So my Brother sewing machine died last night! AAAGGGHHHHH… knee deep in the middle of orders and it just DIED!
So my wonderful husband just called me to say that he has purchased me a replacement until I can get the wonderful upgrade I have been wanting!  (He thinks I broke it on purpose just so I could get that upgrade…. Should have thought about that earlier.. but was not the case :)  ).
This is what I accomplished before the darn thing decided to stop in its tracks..

Cute onesie order with the initial "Z"


Here is the mac daddy that killed my Brother!!! Notice the one shoe, the other shoe was in the making! lol This was to be my first boys onesie outfit. Initial D in green patterned fabric and kimono style shoes.



Oh, and my first attempt at a burp cloth... CUTE!!!  It is a free gift to match the "Z" onesie pictured above. It was done in coordinating Damask Fabric with an accented pink Z.




And the  time consuming oh so cute diaper wipe case that matches the damask onesie set I have been selling like crazy!



ALSO, I have decided to feature an Etsy shop or a blog once a week, so be looking for that soon!  I will start looking around for my first feature today!!!!

Happy sewing

Busy, Busy, Busy!

Well, I have really been busy here lately!  Yesterday was Diva's birthday, and tonight she will have a few friends over for a sleep-over. So she is really excited about that!

I have been making more and more little onesie creations, with the matching booties and hair bows.  I have a little boy onesie up next, I can't wait to see how that turns out.

I actually have so many different things on my to do list, I have no idea how I will ever be able to get them all done :)

Here are a few items I have made recently... everyone seems to love the black and white damask fabric initial onesies!

This one was made with the initial A


This one I made with cream and white damask fabric on a pink onesie. I made the matching bow as usual, but instead of the little booties, I made a ruffle butt pant to match.


Here was another custom order, same as the A, but in a 3-6 month size and with the initial O for Olivia.


Here is the set all boxed up and ready to ship.


Cutie Pie Tie onesie made especially for a little boy named Carter. (I am still waiting on the picture of him in it from his mommie)


I have also made wonderful progress on the spa wrap order I received... here is the very blurry photo I have of them as of last night. My camera went dead due to Diva talking and texting everyone for her birthday, so I had to use Hubbys phone to take the photo, and apparently his camera eye is all scratched up creating a fog like effect.

The Mini Spa Hair Wraps were ordered in the color Lime Green with Turquoise Peace Signs on half, and Pink Peace Signs on the other half.

Happy Sewing,

Crochet Skull Cap!

Last night I decided to try my hand at crochet again.  I used to crochet years ago, and figured it would probably be a little like riding a bike.. pick it up and give it a go!  I was right!  I made this pretty Skull Cap for The Queen!  Ignore the food around the face area here :).

She loves it, and now Diva and Tinker Bell want one!  I guess I will buying yarn now as well!  I found this simple and oh so cute pattern for free here at YOUCANSEWTHIS Created by Tip Top Applesauce...  Instead of making the flowers to place on the cap, I just clipped an already created bow, my way of being lazy creative!



THANK YOU TIP TOP APPLESAUCE!

Happy Sewing...

Cute and Easy Leg Warmer Tutorial!

Here is my first attempt at a Tutorial :) .  I can not take credit for this pattern, I found it online somewhere, however I am not sure where I first seen it and have since found many like it. So, here it goes...



First you take a pair of knee high socks like these....


Then you cut out the heel and toe portion like below... 


You do this for both socks, and discard the heel and toe portion you removed...


Take the small tube part of the sock that was located between the heel and toe part, and fold it in half as shown below...


Sew this part in half (I use a zig zag stitch so it remains streatchable)...


It will look simular to below once you are finished...


You then take the above sewn portion and place it around the long sock piece you have remaining where the raw edges are together like this...


Now you sew these together using a zig zag stitch again...


When you turn the cuff part right side out, you should have two pairs of leg warmers like the pair below...



Here is another pair I made a while back

 just showing how each will look different depending on the sock... I also made a pair in navy blue for my 6 year old to wear to school.  It matches their uniform colors and are perfect in cooler weather when she wears skirts or shorts :)

I hope you enjoyed my tutorial!!!

Happy Sewing,
