Purse organizer and earring bag is 2 fun an quick projects for a rainy afternoon

From I DO to I NAME YOU...........I made a christening dress for a baby out of a wedding dress

 This project turned out a little "trickier" than I anticipated.  The bride had a great time at her wedding........it was a challenge to find a whole piece of fabric larger than a yard that did not have a seem or a stain.

CUT...there is no going back....... 

a lot of sheer material...but again....There is a lot of evidence It was a fun wedding. 

Finally, I am getting somewhere. This is the fun part. Little challenging to cut, the fabric was layered with a satin on bottom and a sheer on top I could not separate it due to seems holding the panels the skirt was divided into.

Bodice..........I decide to layer the satin to get some body :)

 ...saving the lace to add details....

 The whole time I am working on the little dress I am thinking....I cannot poke myself with the needles , that would be a disaster to stain it. The last morning I am working on it I am sewing little buttons on in the back and I do not pay attention that I had poked myself and..wham....a blood stain. Gaaahhhhhh.....But I pull out my best friend and savior. ..Tide stain removal pen and voila.....stain takes a hike.

Paris

Bought the fabric months ago, just loved it but had no Idea what to do with it. Spring came along and....Of course...... I need a black and white bag??

Well, anyway, here it is and I managed to do one thing I have not done before I TWISTED THE HANDLE. Gah!!!!There is no do-over this time I will just live with a twisted handle. It will probably drive me crazy but there are little pills for that right?

My first time......

Took a class this weekend. Applique...my first one ever. I like It there will be more to come.

Mojo loves my sewing room

.....and he kept me company all day long. He snoozed away and did not notice that fabric scraps had found him unti I reached for the Ipad to take a pic.

Earrings can travel safely.....

Polkadots Words purse

A very fun purse to make....EASY.....I like easy when it comes to sewing.

Den här lilla var rolig att göra....LÄTT som en plätt. Jag gillar LÄTT när det gäller sömnad.

Purple haze purse

Purple haze is what a call this newborn one. The inside is all purple...outside not so much. I used upholstery fabric this time and it worked good. It is a little tricky when you have to sew through tripple layers. I was so excited that I got the tubing right so I forgot to add the keyring snap...oh well, next time.

purple haze har jag döpt den här nyföddingen till. Den är mycket "purple" på insidan...på utsidan inte fullt så purple.Den här gången använde jag möbeltyg och det funkade alldeles utmärkt. Tyget är så kraftigt i sig självt att jag inte behövde använda någon "stabilizer", det räckte med vadden. Jag blev så till mig i trasorna över att jag fick resåren rak att jag glömde sy in nyckelringshållaren...nåväl, det får bli nästa gång.
