Valentine's Day Fabric Fortune Cookie

For Valentine's day, i made this fabric fortune cookie for a friend who i love dearly.

i added batting in the middle of the cookie and sewed snaps and ribbon so when she opens it up, it's a round chair cushion!

Easy Coasters

Made coasters for some friends. and the best part is that you can buy those iron on appliques and iron them on the coasters, easy as pie!

Back Seat Cover For My Car

bought a new car, so I immediately made a back seat cover for my dog, since she loves rolling in poop lol. i also made a matching trash can, u can see it's hanging on the door

Kitchen Accessories {for my mom}

My parents bought a vacation home close to where I live, so I have been VERY excited to decorate it, work on it, and make things for it. My mom is a great cook, so kitchen is very important. I decided I would make her a whole set of kitchen accessories for her new kitchen.

Upcycled Corduroy Pants Overnight Bag.

I have not been updating my blog lately, reasons being i was too lazy to do it lol but since i got hooked on pinterest, i have been more inspired to do more sewing and creating.

My latest creation is an overnight bag made with leftover fabric and corduroy jeans.

First, i cut both legs off of the jeans, cut them into rectangles, measured them and cut the leftover fabric the same size.

i also cut out the back pockets of the jeans and sewed them onto the fabric in the front. sewed two loops on both sides for a strap.

Then sew the sides and bottom of both the fabric and the lining (the black jeans), using the boxed corner technique, made the boxed corners 8 inches wide. then sewed the zipper onto the fabric and lining. last, i sewed the waist band of the jeans onto the bag as handles.

this whole project only took me about a few hours counting cutting out fabric.
