Day 142 - Not enough hands

        Okay so tonight I was going to write about even more fabric and projects ideas. But I spent the weekend with my in-laws and picked up another dozen or so knitting/crochet projects. A wiener dog pencil case, a kangaroo doll, a cherry apron, a frilly potholder, the owl and the pussycat, cable-knit sweaters, cardigans and elephant hats, shark jumper....so cute. I just don't have enough time or hands. I swear to God, I wish I could just quick my job and sit home all day and create. Selling my creations for a living, writing, sewing, knitting & crocheting is the dream. But it is not going to happen right now.  Anyway, I am going to scan a few of the pictures of the projects I want to make and will post them this week. But in the mean time here is a picture of the shirt I completed for my mother.

What do you think?

Day 141 - Hoodies Away!

        I previously posted pictures of a fuzzy snowflake material and mentioned that I would like to maybe use it to line a hoodie. Well If I do line a hoodie it would be one made of this sweat/jogging suit material.

      

        I love the little stars. I am not usually a pink person but this fabric really stood out for me, screaming "I am a hoodie! Wear me damn-it, I'm soft." So obviously I had to listen.

        Now we all know I love houndstooth. I have several because I find them so versatile. But I never really expected to find them in sweat/jogging material. But here it is!!! A perfectly sweet houndstooth in blue and grey. I have already make a dress out of it but I still have plenty left over and thought well what else am I going to make right? Hoodie, the logical, comfy choice. 

Day 140 - Waffle Weave

        I have several waffle weave fabrics. I thought you might want to see them. Now I know I have published a few of these already but I thought they may look cool all together.

 

I love this one best. Penguins!!! Looking very dapper in his top hat.

        I made a pair of pj pants out of this awesome fabric. I want to make a Henley out of this one too. Penguins for all. 

       

Day 139 - Endless fabric

        I am sure you all thought I was kidding when I said I had hundreds of fabrics that I have ideas for different projects, well I wasn't. So shall I should you a few more? Okay then. Here we go.  

Handbags -  I have made a pattern for some really nice handbags that I would love to make and then  sell on my Etsy shop, but when will I have the time really?  Anyway here are a few of the fabrics I want to use when I do get around to it. 

         Yeah I am a bit of a sucker for flower prints. I would never wear it but I think they can be so pretty on girlie girls. And what could be better than a pretty bag? I actually really love the multi-coloured daisies. So much in fact I might actually use it to refinish some chairs I have.  :P
