What I've been working on...

I have been working on some sewing this last week. I'm going build a stash of stuff then post it all on etsy.

I have a project on my sewing machine right now. It's a nursing cover (poncho style) for a friend at church. I had bought a poncho pattern & some fabric the other day. I was excited to try out the pattern and make it right. Get home, cut out the pattern & realize I made a BIG mistake. The pattern calls for 60" fabric, I got 44". 2 1/2 yards of the WRONG fabric. So, I'm improvising and hoping it comes out okay. I had made one for my friend for a shower gift, but neither of us is completely happy with it. I've been told though that I should sell them. I was hoping to make it much better. Hopefully it still turns out okay. I will post a picture once it's done.

I've also made a couple more wallets & a couple of key fobs. I'm not happy with the way the key fobs turned out. I'm going to be making a trip to Michael's to get what I need. Hobby Lobby doesn't carry them. (sigh)









On a good note, I love the wallets. I can't wait for nap time to make some more.

Congratulations! Shopping is fun again. (do it with cash though, or gift cards)

I have quite a variety of fabrics & ribbons, so more will be coming. Watch for them!
