"עליסה בארץ הפלאות" נולדה מיני תחפושת.

Oh lord would you buy me a serger bentz

I'm so sad didn't get to sewing my other new ideas for the contest so I'll only post this 3. But my sketch book is full of new ways to play with Ashley from LIL BLUE BOO patterns. I also have Shoog's Purim costume to make only 2 weeks to go but I know it will be done the very night before the party at her preschool. And my sister is still waiting for her apron. It's sad but right now I'm hording T-shirts and fun knit fabrics it's an adiction...

The first one ...

if you'll look closely you will see her sun glasses match her shirt. lady gaga...

my new love

Sewing 4 new recycled t- shirt dresses for Shoogy. She wants a dress not a shirt dhaa! From lil blue boo Siena dress pattern. Now I'm thinking out of the box to be a bit more creative. Of curse there's a reason there will be a contest for the best design

The dress that I already made

You should really try Ashley's pattern it is easy and fun. My t-shirt hording is amsing and every time I go grocery shopping I look for cheep and cute t- shirts to rip a part for dresses for Shoogy.

back after a long time. I've been in a complete bed rest for two and a half weeks in the hospital but I have managed to get to week 37 of my pregnancy and gave birth to my beautiful son shoogy's little brother. With out my sewing machine this is what I've done i mean the knitted blanket and the boy

Tutorial heart and initial fabric mobile

you will need

Scraps of fabric about 7" by 8"

Stuffing material (polyfill)

Satin Ribbon

Draw a heart and your initial, you can print it and transfer to the back of the fabric

Cut the fabric; leave a 1/4" allowance.

Set the hearts right facing each other.

Insert the ribbon between the fabric- one long ribbon at the top of the heart and a shorter one for the bottom. Fold the ribbon inside the heart.

Sew all the way around with 1/4" seam and leave an opening to insert the stuffing.

Trim the fabric around and turn right side out.

With the letter I inserted the ribbon with the heart folded tightly. Sew around leaving an opening a bit wider so you can take the heart through it when turning right side out.

Trim the fabric and pull the fabric with heart right side out.

Fill the heart and the initial with stuffing. for the letter use small amounts of stuffing each time to shape it inside the fabric.

Slipstitch the gap closed.
Enjoy.

Reversible purse

This reversible purse has been on my 'to do list' for a while so I'm glad someone has had a birthday. No doubt I will be making it for my self, well some day … this bag goes to my sister in law and the tutorial is from Martha stewart http://www.marthastewart.com/article/reversible-purse

It's a fun fun project.

New bags

It's seems like the bags have taken over. But this 2 birthday gifts for my sister in law and her 13 yr old daughter were a great idea. Since school is about to start, the tote bag I've made for Yaeli will be good for her to take on those short days when she doesn't need to carry many books.

And the not so great sewing project award goes to :

It's a mess what happened here? I wanted to make a pencil case to go with the bag.
