Christmas teaser...

I just so happened to make a Christmas present today... But you will have to wait to see it! It is crocheted and small. I also regret to inform you, I will not be helping sew curtains this weekend; my mom did it with my gram today. I, however, have another purse to show you...

This one was made for a sister of a friend who lived with her, well, stuff happens and she is no longer talking to myself or the friend. So, this Christmas present is now going into MY purse collection! :-)

Well, it is time to wake my monkey from her nap and fix dinner. Goodbye for now! Stay tuned to see what else I come up with.

      ~People come and go, but purses go in the closet for later use.~

    

So, I crochet too...

I have been crocheting a lot longer than I have been sewing... I just do not do it very often anymore. As I did with my sewing, here are a few projects that are complete and NOT Christmas presents:

Sewing projects (so far) Mid 2013-yesterday

In 2013 I decided to hand sew a bunch of dresses for my wee-one:

 And Skirts:

THEN my amazing mom gave me her sewing machine the beginning of this year:

 The dress above was made from fat quarters bought at Walmart and made for my little rotten monkey for the 4th of July 2014

 This one was made from an old pillow case

 And so was this one

 And this one

 And, yup, this one too!

 I turned four tank tops into this cute sun dress!

 One tank top + one man dress shirt= sundress

 With a matching shawl

 The top to a sundress which has seen better days paired with yet another mans shirt

 The tank idea again!

 An old pair of jeans + mans dress shirt= upcycled skirt

 Old jeans and a skirt into an even better more awesome skirt

 And again

 An old pair of cords paired with... you guessed it a mans shirt

 With a matching one for the monkey!

 Another matching set (front)

 (Back)

 This use to be a sheet... now it is a skirt for the monkey

 Make that two skirts

 WHAT?!?!?! I do purses too? SWEET! This was a sheet from goodwill and curtains from there too!

 The inside pocket

 Another pair of cords turned into an overnight bag

 This is the back

 The inside mini pocket

 AND a matching wallet!

 With six card slots

 And a built in change purse!

 IT CLOSES!!!!!!!!! (I'm proud of myself for figuring this one out!)

 Another (smaller) purse. Mens shorts and a dress shirt

 The back

 The inside two pockets. A large one for my tablet and a small one for whatever.

 It closes too!

 Can you say "Matching wallet?"

 Which closes as well!

 This one has 12 card slots

 And a hiding pocket

 With a detachable change purse!

Oh, I can't forget the two belts I made for the monkey... who is currently tearing up her room instead of taking a nap...

SO, this is all the sewing projects for now... stay tuned!
