New Purse

This is the purse I made for my sister. Didn't she pick out some lovely fabric? Below is the reverse side.

Skirts For Spring

Here is my latest project. A skirt for spring!! And it was very easy to make. I love easy projects:)

The skirt above that my sister is wearing is a skirt I made out of a sheet. It was also very easy:) I had tons of fun making it:)

Below is the latest flower I learned to make.

Flower Tutorial

This is a picture of the type of flower that I am doing my tutorial on.

1. First things first. You will want to cut out your pattern for the flower. Cut out a circle that is 4 1/2" in diameter. I used

cardstock but you could use whatever you have on hand. Cardboard would work well.

2. Use your pattern you made and cut out eight circles from your fabric. You could do four circles one color and the

other four another color if you like.

3. Cut all of your circles in half.

4. Fold your halves in half. Right sides together.

5. Send all of your folded halves through the

sewing machine together.

It will make a long chain of petals.

6. Carefully cut all of your petals apart from one another.

Then turn each one inside out. They will look like cones or little

teepees.

7. Sew the bottom of your petals closed by rocking your needle in and out of the fabric. I call it rocking the cradle. It will gather into a petal. Using the same thread and needle do it again and again until you have ten petals for your bottom layer. You

will start to see the flower:)

Make sure that your petals on your bottom layer are gathered together tightly. Then use your needle to attach the two ends of your layer together. Then you have your bottom layer.Follow the same steps for step seven to make your bottom layer. Sew the two layers together as best you can and now you have your flower. Oh yeah for the middle of the flower my sister and I used fabric covered metal buttons. You can buy the metal buttons at your local fabric store. They are extremely easy and tons of fun to use.

Sorry about the quality of some of the pictures.

New Hobby :)

I made a ring!:) Making flowers out of
fabric is beggining to become a hobby
for me:)




Below is a picture of a yoyo flower. I think

Newest Purse

This one is my latest creation.
This one is also reversible. I'm
telling you they are so much fun
to make:)I sold this one to my
sister so she could give it to her
friend for her birthday.

This is the reversed side. Oh yeah, and
this time I made the little flower to clip
on and off of the bag so she could wear
it in her hair or put it wherever she wanted
to.
