Improvised Pincushion

I just made myself a pincushion! I was inspired by Ayumi for this. I didn't have a pattern, so I just sort of improvised!

I should be getting new fabric soon. I can't wait!

Coasters!

So I just finished the first two coasters for my set of "Coffee Inspired Coasters"! Here's a look at the finished products of the start of the set!

I'm pretty sure I like the first one better.

Next time, I'll use a more contrasting thread to outline the cups so they stick out more!

More coffee inspired coasters coming soon!

Meet Felix

So this is Felix. Definitely a little crooked, but he still looks OK. I have to work on my hand stitching skills hahah

The next monster will look better for sure. I'm keeping this one for myself. :)

I even added a little tail! heheh

Stay tuned for my next project: a pillow case! I know, how exciting eh? ;)

Fabric Basket and Monsters!

My newest creation! Well, I can't take all the credit; I took the tutorial for this bag here. I mis-measured the interior lining, so there's a few places around the top of the bag that the material's bunched up, but overall I think my first bag was a success! Oh, and I got the adorable fabric at this store for a good price!

I decided to put my thread, scissors, pins and measuring tapes in the bag! It's a nice little size that makes it perfect for this purpose. I think if I make this bag again I might play with its size a little (perhaps make it bigger?).

Oh, and since I'm blogging, I might as well show you the next project I'm working on! Yes, it's a monster! I know they've been done a hundred times, but I just couldn't help myself; they're too cute!

I actually made the pattern myself (quite a proud moment).

So this is what the little guy looks like after I cut the material. The fabric, I got from Walmart; the felt, I got from my shopping spree at Michaels! I just finished sewing the front and back pieces together, and all that's missing to finish him up is the stuffing I forgot in the SUV (that's currently at the garage for repairs... ugh!).

Thanks for reading! <3

New fabric, new thread and a new sewer!

New fabric! I decided to start a blog after being inspired by this lovely girl! I'm pretty new at sewing so bear with me. But, I'm really pumped to start all of the projects I have in my head, so stay tuned for a whole lot more to come!

I tried making a wallet with one of these fabrics, but I ended up not measuring right and it was all crooked! First try at sewing... fail.

And I got new thread to match the fabric! I'm thrilled about all this; I can't wait to start sewing!

I'll blog again as soon as I have an update!

Thanks for taking the time to read this. :)
