sewing and stuff...

A few weeks ago I was discussing with a friend about infinity scarfs. We were contemplating the different fabric elements that could be put together. During that conversation I got the bright idea to make my own. I have a sewing matching that I am always itching to use but never can decide what I want to make. I hit the fabric stores a few weeks ago to look for fabric combinations that fit well together.

Luckily, I had some free time available and was able to make several. I can't wait to make more, especially with spring and summer fabrics.

Sewing Project #3 - Birthday Banners. Oh Boy!

Ethan's fourth birthday is quickly approaching and we plan on having a backyard shindig to celebrate the occasion. I LOVE hosting kids birthday parties and I am always on the look out for decoration ideas that are not going to break the bank. I found a birthday banner kit through Amazon and since I have been looking for projects to use my sewing machine this seemed like the perfect fit.

I will be sure to post the finish product in the next few weeks. Stay tuned...

Sewing Project #2

I wanted to share with you all my latest attempt at sewing. I was getting tired of not having a way to push back Ethan's curtains in his room. Especially since it is a really heavy curtain to keep the light out. I absolutely love his room when the sun is shining through since it makes it a great place to play and hang out.

After scouring the web for a solution to this problem and not finding what I was looking for I decided to make my own curtain tie backs. I used a burnt yellow leaf pattern with brown felt on the back and mismatched buttons for the closure. It was a super quick project to do and was the perfect fit in his room if I do say so myself.

(Here is a close up of the curtain tie back.)
