One More wrap

Decided to make one more item today. This wrap was created using 45" wide fabric 1/2 yard long. I had to cut the fabric in half lenghwise and sew it together and cut it to 60" to fit the black silky lining I had. The 2" fringe is okay, but longer would look even better. I think next time I have 45" wide fabric I will purchase more 60" wide lining and make a longer wrap. Not everyone fits in a 60" long evening wrap.

Still at it!

The internet is such a great source for ideas and free patterns to excerise one's creativity!

A snuggle, a couple of heat resistant curling iron bags, motorcycle lady and teal/lavender lady.

I hope to make some more evening wraps and tote bags this week....in between dental appointments!

The Evening Wrap

I purchased some lovely material to make an evening bag and decided that it was large enough and too nice to just make a bag. So I bid on some fringe on Ebay and won. Then I a few weeks later I picked up some lining material and thought it wasn't enough. So last week I finally had everything to begin the wrap.

It is so pretty!

Snuggle Quilt

I once said I wasn't interested in sewing a quilt, even lap size. Then I saw a lady on Simply Quilts that makes tube quilts. Tube quilting means no little squares and no little triangles to cut and sew, but the result looks like you spent lots of time cutting and sewing.

This little number took a couple of hours to get together and then another hour to sew on the binding which I did in my own way, not necessarily the right way!

I found the fabric for this quilt at Walmart. Say what you will, whoever is doing the purchasing for their fabric department does an excellent job and the prices are reasonable too!

Drawstring Bag

This bag is made from a fabric design that I love (I picked it up at Walmart!)

A big thank you to "Happythings" blogger! This project was great. I never would have tried a drawstring bag had it not been for the "magic"! I used grosgrain ribbon for the "string" because I couldn't wait for cording!

Little Yellow Bag

This bag is about the size of a comestic bag. It was lots of fun to make with the fabric Barbara sent from Montana.

This was fun because the tutorial was precise and there was room for creativity!

Thanks to Crafty Ladies for the tutorial!

Two new ladies.

The Sassy lady with the tangerine hair is for fun.

The Polka lady with the yellow hair was commissioned - just hope it is what she had in mind!

Next up - lady motorcyclist!
