pillow case dress

after a long Summer break I'm sewing again

I finally got the chance to sew a Pillow case dress.

nach einer langen Sommerpause hab ich mich mal wieder an die Naehmaschine gesetzt. Endlich hab ich ein Pillow case dress genaeht. I used a very soft corduroy.
I cut it to an a-line form and added cutouts for the arms.
Dazu hab ich einen ganz weichen Cordstoff verwendet , ich habe die Seiten schraeg geschnitten und dazu noch Ausschnitte fuer die Arme. Dann wird das ganze oben umgenaeht und ein Band durchgezogen.

I also embelished this t-shirt with Hello Kitty, a must for a Hello Kitty Party.

ein Hello Kitty t-shirt fuer die Geburtstagsfeier darf natuerlich auch nicht fehlen, ich habe einen Sticky auf Filz gestickt und ihn dann aufgebuegelt und festgenaeht. There was enough left over fabric for a mimiature dress for the Baby

sister of my little neighbor that will be born soon.

Es war gerade noch genug Stoff uebrig fuer ein Minikleidchen fuer die kleine Schwester, die bald geboren wird.

This dress was super easy to sew I'm sure this one will not be the last one.

Zipper pouch ...

...I got some more work done on the pouch, I'm starting to like it.

I will take this one on our summer vacation.

I added a pocket with snap closure to the back that fits credit cards or a drivers license it is perfect, when you are out and about and you do not want to take your purse. Ganz liebe Gruesse Sabine

....

Lots more bags were finished this weekend, this one is a prototype, I think I will add a pocket for credit cards on the back and use brighter colors.

This bag as you can tell is for a girl that is graduating from High school next week, I love these bags, the front zipper pocket is see -through so it is perfect for putting a gift card inside.

this picture shows some alterations I did on the coin purse, i added a strip of fabric to the back to close the back pocket so it is safe for putting credit cards....

and instead of the clear front I added fabric with a letter, i love this design this bag is very versatile

I have been very busy the last couple of weeks.

I sewed lots more bunny bags for friends and family. Otherwise it was school, sports and a broken arm we have to deal with. My oldest son broke his right arm playing basket ball. I can only tell you...bad timing.. he has lots of tests in the end of the year. Well we have about 3 more weeks to go.

I have started a new project, I bought this cute design for a ITH coin valet from http://www.picklepiedesigns.com

, it is adorable and very easy to make (once you understand the instructions).

I tried it a few times and I'm hooked.

I changed the original design a little, I added a little loop of gross grain ribbon to attach a key ring and I added a name on the back pocket and made a matching key strap. I'm trying to figure out a way to close the back pocket to make it safe to carry credit cards in this pocket perhaps with a snap button ... I'm still working to figure out the best way.

... yesterday I saw these cute easter window cany bags at cute embroidery.com

and I could not resist, after some trial and error I added Names to the back of the bags and

I changed the sewing around the window, because the plactic would tear, because the stitching was too tight.

I love the result .

Also finished is the first embroidered T-shirt for my little neighbor and

a towel as part of a wedding present for a co-worker.

I had a busy weekend of stitching but now I'm going outside to enjoy a beautiful spring day.

Thanks everybody for sharing your designs.

Some more stitching

First I want to thank everyone who shares free embroidery designs online, I'm having a lot of fun finding and trying new designs.

I finished a few more projects this week.

A pencil case for the niece of a friend

and a Towel using a towel corner design.

This is a great design with a integrated hanger on the corner.

Have a great week

Easter basket

.....Another project is finished, this was my first try at making an easter basket, I did it the easy way. I bought a ready made easter basket with fabric liner and simply replaced the liner and stitched a bunny applique and the name.

I hope the little lady likes her personalized easter basket.
