Fall - Tis the Season to Sew!




It is officially fall (where does the time go?).... which basically means it is craft season! Ok, well I guess it's ALWAYS craft season, but there is something about fall that makes me want to sew. I'm not sure if it's the beautiful fall colors, the fun fall fabrics, the chill in the air that makes me want to stay inside, or all the fun fall projects that I have been waiting until now to work on.... That being said, here's some of the items I am working on: aprons, shoes, place mats, table runners, hot pads and more. I LOVE fall fabric, below are some of the goodies I've found!




See something you like that isn't for sale in my shop? Want a custom order? Contact me!

Custom Orders

I just finished two custom orders.... well, okay it was officially one since the other project was for myself. The first "real" custom order was for a college friend of mine who is expecting her first child in December (yay!). She was interested in purchasing a nursing cover, but wanted one in brown/cream colors.... since I didn't have one pre-made I took a quick trip to the fabric store (oh, darn) and had far too much fun picking out new material for this project! I hope she loves it and gets plenty of use out of it.



The second "custom order" I just completed was for myself. We just finished painting our family room.... which means I needed to sew new pillow covers! The colors really brighten the space and I love how they turned out.

Buried Treasure!

I have had these three bags in my trunk for awhile, but I felt they were "lacking flair".... Feeling the need to create without spending money, I was digging through my scrap box (the box that I keep fabric and notion leftovers... I never throw anything away!) and decided to make some flair from some of the buried treasure in my box. Here's the result!

Precious and Sweet Little Feet.....


Having two children of my own, I just LOVE this poem:

Two little feet, ten little toes,
Leave their impressions today.
Soon they will wear two little shoes,
And be running and jumping at play.
Two little feet, too little time,
Before they are walking to school,
Kicking a rock, or skipping a rope,
Wading a puddle or jumping a pool.
Two little feet, One little child,
Will soon go their own way,
But footprints in my mind recall,
They stood here yesterday.
-Anonymous-

With my oldest starting school this year, I am overwhelmed at how quickly our precious babies grow-up (tear). There is no better way to get them off on the right foot than by doing it stylishly! Baby shoes are available with adjustable elastic to fit a baby 0-6 months. The soles are made of fleece lined suede providing grip and durability on the outside by plush softness on the inside. 

Shop for shoes here.
