Hooray! Some finished projects to share with you...
A sneak peak at my Craft Hope project!
All that's left for this project is the store bought stuff!
This is a pin cushion using a baby food jar. Another idea I got in my head somehow and have been looking and looking for something to put in the jar. Found these little birds at Michael's and they are perfect!
I'm semi-happy with how it turned out. Needs some work on the top portion. I think I'm going to try to make a felt pin cushion top for the next one and see if that goes better. This top is just some stuffing in a circle of fabric that is gathered at the bottom into a big poof. Then I had the problem of covering up the rim of the lid. I think felt will be better over all.
And this poor apron was started over a year ago. It is for a friend and was supposed to be a housewarming present. She's been living in her apartment for over a year now! I was working on the ties when my last sewing machine seized up on me and I got so frustrated I went to hand sewing for a long time. I had already started this with machine sewing, so I wanted to finish it that way. Better late than never, I guess. The base is half of a pillowcase that my mom found and the pocket is made from a vintage sheet (I embroidered the A for Ali on it!).
My friend Andee (that is doing Craft Hope with me) has a little interview with me today, you can see it here. I'll be interviewing Andee in April, so look for that here soon!
Blessings!
That apron is so adorable...I'm going to have to sew one very soon!
