31 Days of Sew A Little Every Day

I am going to write a post on the theme of sewing a little everyday. I will succeed... I hope!

Hopefully my complete lack of knowledge of all things blog and tech related won't get in the way to much.

At the very least I will learn a bunch and have a little fun doing it.

So many things to say! We will start with the wallet :)

completed a wallet! My first one for my moms birthday. The best part about sewing for your mommy is that she will love it with all of its imperfections :)
This is the tutorial I used, with a few alterations... http://mel-allwrappedup.blogspot.ca/2010/11/patchwork-y-bifold-wallet.html?m=1

Love these fabrics :) got them from Sew Sisters online store. 

I'll be sharing my new endeavour soon :)

I also got given a second machine today! 
Haven't tried It but hoping it sews. Came with all the feet and accessories.... Here's to hoping!

I want to make a bag!

It has become an obsession and it will require a new Pinterest board for all the bag tutorials, patterns, and reviews I am amassing. 

I'll share them soon, when I've narrowed it down a little...

Also wallets... Must sew a wallet or two.... Or 6... Lol

Well the next thing on my ever growing list of things to buy is interfacing. Several weights I think.

Pants for my little guy!

This is the second pair of these pants I've made using the monkey pants pattern by Terra's Treasures on etsy. 



Pretty happy with how these turned out!
Had to guesstimate the waist band and leg cuffs... Learning curve but worth it in the end :) making some with adorable cranky cloud fabric in a vivid lime colour. That will be fun for sure!

Much faster than quilt pieces... 

Better get started on my pic cushion to swap... 


This was written a week or so ago... I didn't realize this hadn't been published.... Oops! Here is my son in them!
