Tip:

Epsom Salt is a GREAT fabric softener!

No more static cling!

1 Tbls. per load and you'll never use dryer sheets again :)

Some Past Projects

I finally uploaded pics from my phone.  Phone pics are not the best but here they are:

This is a patchfolio I made for Grace.  I went to Sew and Sew's Place (really!) and saw a little girls rain coat made from these fabrics.  I'd really like to do rain coats for the girls one day.  Until then I thought these would work great for a patchfolio.  Pattern by CraftApple.

I made this folio for a friend.

 This is Grace's "Old Fashioned Day" dress. 

 Here is the bag I mentioned in my last post. 

Projects I've been working on.

I am a terrible picture taker, lol! Below is a patchfolio using
CraftApple's pattern.
I used some of my machines heirloom and quilting stitches for the design.
Not sure I like the design but didn't want to waste fabric.
The border is a eyelet stitch using the wing needle.

The inside is also done with eyelet stitches.
My pen pocket is a little small but it works.
Below is a skirt that I was going to start and the shirt I wanted to wear with it.
You can't tell in the picture but the fabric is close to a charcoal grey and a little shine to it.
I have finished the skirt and will post pics when I wear it.
The only thing I didn't like was that it has a front seam.

This is a jacket I started ages ago. Needless to say it is a UFO.

The "scarf" is actually the belt to the skirt above.

Last but not least is the start of an attempt to make a Waldorf Doll.
These are so cute!
We'll see if it actually is accomplished.

Purses

Linda over @ Craft Apple created a "Groovey" new purse. She also has the "Patchfolio" pattern for sale in her Etsy shop Craft Apple Creations. Here is a mini version...

Her Patchfolio is much better, lol.

Also, over @ Sew, Mama, Sew! they are have Bag Month.
