Mustard Skirt

I love mustard yellow, it is one of my three favorite colors:) So when I found this fabric at Joann's I grabbed it! I wanted to make a skirt and I wanted to make it that night, so I had to just kinda wing it and this is the skirt I came up with. I think it turned out pretty good! Jackie did a great job with the pictures, I love them:)

Dressing up the Piano.....

I inherited a piano from my grandma who passed away recently. It is a 70 year old piano and I love knowing that I am playing on the same piano my grandma played when she was 8 years old. Yesterday I went and got some cute fabric to cover the worn piano seat, and I also made a little runner to go on the top of the piano. I still need to add a few items to the top of the piano (including a lamp shade for the lamp:), but it is coming together I think! I love the new seat cover for the bench! (The lighting is bad and doesn't really do it justice)

Rosette Necklace

So one day while Trey was taking a nap I wanted to practice making fabric rosettes. I had only made one rose before so I wanted to get better at it. Well after I made a few flowers, this is what they turned into. A nice spring necklace:)

Easter Skirt

I have made one skirt in my life so far and I had a hard time with the measurements, and an especially hard time with the zipper. I wanted to make a skirt for Easter and not deal with a stupid zipper, so I tried using some elastic. I had never used elastic before and I didn't use a pattern for this one so it was kind of crazy for me! I actually did end up wearing it to church, and it didn't even fall apart! I'm not in love with it, but it worked ok:)

Flower Bag

When I should have been studying for finals I decided to try and make a purse. This one I made was really a tester to see if I could make it, I wanted to use thicker fabric for the real one to make it more sturdy. I just used some fabric that I had in my fabric box, and I ended up really liking the way it turned out. I saw the tutorial on a blog, if you donated at least $8 to Japan the lady who made the pattern would email it to you with the tutorial. I don't remember her blog though!! If I find it I will post it so you can make this cute bag:)

So since I have been making a lot of things lately and it's pretty much all I was posting about on my family blog, I decided to make a little personal blog of the sewing projects and crafts I try to make! Here we go!
