Princess Bag

My 51st completed sewing project for 2008!



Autumn had another birthday party to go to. Honestly I really don't like having to get birthday presents for parties, so I like it if I can sew something relatively quick and feel like I spent hardly any money on it. Autumn was concerned when I started working on this (about an hour before the party) that I would need help because when I made this one my mom ended up finishing it for me. We also made m&m chewies and filled the bag with that. I thought it turned out to be a nice present for a 4 year old girl.

Top Secret sewing

So I haven't been posting hardly at all at my sewing blog, that is because I really haven't spent a lot of time sewing. With guests here off and on for 3 weeks we dismantled my sewing room. We did set up a sewing machine in our bedroom, but it wasn't the same, because some supplies were in the sewing room.

Then ben broke the table for my sewing machine, because he was trying to fix something really quick on my sewing machine, but he didn't get a chair to sit on, so he was on his knees and put too much pressure on my sewing machine tray and broke it. I was pretty disappointed about that, but Ben is sooooo lucky. Because I had been a DI a few weeks earlier and saw a sewing machine table that was in pretty good shape for $3, so I picked it up. Well it turned out that it almost perfectly fit my sewing machine without having to recut the wood, so Ben got lucky.

So I did do a little bit of sewing, but it has been top secret projects. Maybe I will let everyone know in a few weeks what I have been working on, maybe not, we will just have to see. I have also started thinking about Christmas and wanting to start some of my Christmas projects, so that during the Christmas season I can focus on enjoying Christmas instead of finishing all of my presents, so maybe look forward for some projects updates. I still want to finish the dresses I started for myself a while ago.

Autumn's new swimsuit

This is my 50th completed sewing project for 2008!





Autumn needed another swimsuit, because the last one I made her doesn't fit quite right. So I decided to make a size larger. Autumn also requested that it had a skirt in it, so I had to deviate from the pattern and make my own pattern from the pattern. I was able to finish it for her last day of swimming lessons. Autumn was really excited about wearing it.
