If you’re on Ravelry, I have all the details here! If not, you need to be! LOL! I used Vanna White’s Baby yarn, though not quite as soft as I would have thought it would be, but I couldn’t find these colors in Caron Simply Soft. The theme was a jungle theme so I wanted to use the colors they picked out.

The pattern is from LionBrand and with your imagination, you could make this look so awesome in any color! I made one of these before with different colors and a different pattern and it made a totally different blanket.

I hope that she liked it, she acted like she did and I wanted to get a photo, but I was too far away (there were lots of people at the shower), but hopefully one day I can get a photo with the baby using it! TTFN!

If you have little girls about to start school, here’s a cute way to use up some scraps of ribbon lying around in your stash.  This tutorial comes from The Long Thread and it looks super easy, super simple and fun! I think I will try this for my girls. Do you think it’ll help them to keep from losing them so fast? We shall see! It does give me another idea for gifts!

So, sorry for not posting much, been enjoying the summer a lot! Once school is back in session, I should be regular again with the posting. Hope you’re enjoying your summer!

I have more projects that I’ve been working on to post here. Check back to see them in a few days!

I cut off a pair of size 7  or 8 jeans that were messed up in the legs and such so they were in my basket to recycle. So I cut the legs off, sewed up the bottom, made the lining and crocheted a strap for it. Pieced it together (had to do some hand sewing since I didn’t want to break my needle) and there it is!

I have a few more photos here for you to look at.  I think it turned out cute! I closed it with some elastic over the button for the jeans. It’s very unique and fun! TTFN!

The materials are easy. You need cardboard, batting, material, ribbon, tacks and a hot glue gun. A iron is good too if you need to iron the material first.  You wrap the batting around the cardboard and wrap the fabric over the batting andhot glue it down. Just be sure to pull it tight! Then you run the ribbon across one direction and then the other, hot gluing the ends. Then use tacks to put the criss-crossed ribbons down. I put ribbon at the top to hang it up, but you can use whatever you wish.

That’s it! I took me just about an hour to make this one. They are easy and fun and there’s no sewing required! TTFN!

I have some more that I plan on posting later this week. I just need to post them and get them online. I hope that you’re having a good summer. I’ve been busy with the kids being home. Been swimming and having lots of fun. But I’ve been sewing when it’s been raining which has been a lot.  Again, hope all is well! TTFN!

It does take a few days to dry since you have to coat it, but otherwise, it would be done in less than an hour or so depending on how fast you go. Try this out and let me see how yours turns out! I have to get ribbon since I don’t have any right now to try, but all the supplies can be purchased for under $5 which is sooooo cool! TTFN!

You’ve seen the flags I’m talking about. You usually see them in gardens or hanging outside people’s houses. I made these out of cotton, not meant for hanging outside, but maybe they’ll put it on their door or hang them in their room. It’ll be interesting to see next year!

These took awhile overall to make. I’m not sure how long, I worked on them for hours, but mainly because their letters were rounded. They aren’t the same dimensions either. I didn’t really measure, I just worked with what I had. I did use a coffee can lid and the coffee can to make the circle in the ‘Q” and freehanded the “D”. I layered the “D” for effect since the background was busy. I didn’t layer the “Q.”Also, the “Q” is on a fat block.

I do have a contrasting fabric sewn onto the back of each flag, I just forgot to take a photo of the back! I sewed a dowel rod into the tops of each one and sewed ribbon to one for a handle and cord to the other.

I think they turned out cute, what do you think?
