1 Hour Purse

I saw this and had to immediately try it. Don't be intimidated by making your own pattern. It is very easy. With creating the pattern and sewing it all together it did take a little more than an hour, but the 2nd bag I made didn't. Here are some pics.

These are the buttons I used.

Angel Purse

I love sewing and making purses is just about one of my favorite things. I was surfing the net looking for even more purse and pouch patterns (if I use any more ink printing them off my husband may kill me) and found this. So, I decided to download the FREE pattern and get to work. The instructions were incredibly easy to follow and totally cute results ensued. Here are some pics.




I actually have a few more of these cut out also. They are going to make great gifts. I even had a co-worked ask me to make her one like the pink paisley one above (I made that one for myself).

Taggie Blanket

Well, I have a new neice, Kaitlyn, and as the best Aunt in the world, of course, I had to sew up a storm of stuff for her. I was on Facebook and my friend, Shelly, said that her daughters both loved their taggie blanket. I had never heard of them (and actually had to Google it). After deciding that I wasn't going to spend a boatload of money, I came up with my own. Here is the link for the original Taggie Blanket. Below are some pics of what I made (sorry, they are not the greatest).

By the way, I got the velour fabric from Walmart and a bunch of different ribbons and started sewing the pieces of ribbon in between the two layers of fabric. Next, I am gong to make some Taggie stuffed toys (see link here). I found some cool, easy to cut out shapes here. I plan on just printing off the shape that I want, cutting it out of fabric, sewing the two sides together with some ribbons in between and stuffing. I will post pics of my creations when I get them finished. By the way, if you are looking for a tutorial for the Taggie Blanket, click here.
