Late on the Hearts and Sunshine

It’s been a long while since I’ve last posted.  Stuff just seems to get in the way, I am so far behind on my craft list and my blog following.  I also have just barely begun to pack for the move.  Anyway, I‘ve manage to get a couple projects done.

Aren’t these cute?  They are little heart shaped pouches made from fleece.  I made them for my mom’s birthday.  It was Saturday, just don’t ask how old she is, I haven’t the foggiest idea.  You don’t ask a lady her age.

The pouches open up with a flap and snap on the backside.  I thought it would be more discreet that way.  I guess they’d be good for Valentine’s day, that is coming up quickly.  However I think I have something else in mind for that.

This is what I wore to church Sunday, and believe it or not I didn’t start on the actual sewing until the night before.  It was the only time I could find to make it and luckily I had already cut the pieces previously.  I find it saves time when making my dresses to cut the fabric ahead of time, at least for the skirt since it’s the easiest part to cut but takes the longest amount of time sew.

Here’s the updated list:

• Pretty up gloves
• Ribbon headband
• Doll makeover
• Pearl headband
• Hair bows
• Pouches
• Alter shirt
• Yellow dress
• Hearts

Six down, three to go.  I shall hopefully get the rest done by this Saturday,  keep your fingers crossed.
