Beasley Bed Cover

I made a  Beasley Bed here  five years ago in January.

It was in desperate need of a new cover.

And Sir "Sleeps-a-lot" LOVES minky fabric!

he will steal it when he finds it. So.......

Rather than spend a fortune on fabric, I found this

Minky-like blanket for $20.00 at my local

Dollar General,Cut out a big circle, stitched a hem

around the edge for elastic.

 AND..... now I have a nice looking dog bed,

Plus a happy dog. (+plus extra fabric)

Raincoat Re-make

A needed a shower apron, for helping a friend.

AND.....y'all know I love a good challenge. Oh,

and the local Goodwill !
Challenge+need+Goodwill = sew much fun.

 I found this hideous ugly yellow raincoat on the cheap.

Chopped it up......(bonus) now I have more buttons

and clasps to add to my collection :)

and made a fantastic shower apron!

Monster Bib

Hooray, all my shopping is done,

gifts are all wrapped and the last of  the

Christmas sewing is done! Whew.......

This is a bib pattern I found on Pinterest

and the pattern can be found at Stubbornly Crafty

This was my first try, so it is a little wonky at 

the bottom, but it will do. I plan on making more.

It's just sew c-u-t-e!

Home Made Vanilla Extract

and..........ready set GO! It's that time of year, let the 

gift making commence. This is some Vanilla Extract

I put together 2+ years ago. (it got forgotten)

I used 1 liter/33 oz  Cheap Vodka and 3 Vanilla beans

I found these cute 8.5 oz flasks on Amazon and

the bottle filled 4. I am keeping 1 and 3 are 

Christmas presents :) bet ya'll wish you were on my list! lol

I have been very busy.....SEWING!

Yup! My machine and I have been spending

alot of time together :)

I now have a baby to sew for ! My best friends 

daughter (who is like a daughter to me) had her baby!

Mr. Incredible  and I call her lil' Miss Fia, And there is 

nothing like a baby to get you in the sewing mood, and 

quite frankly I needed a boost after my year away from

sewing/blogging. Look out PINTEREST here I come.

So I made some burp cloths, a teeny tiny Fia size rice heat/cold

bag, and an unfinished bib, As well as some more regular rice

bags, for some friends. Ahhhh......It feels good to be back!

I'm Back

Sorry for the delay in new posts, I had been very sick since July of 2014. I am just now getting back my sewing itch. Hope to post some fun projects soon!
