Juice Bag to Pencil Holder

This is a great repurposing idea!  Here is the tutorial for this amazing project!

Patterns, and Fabric, and Scissors, Oh My...

Last year, there was a sale on corduroy at JoAnn's, so I bought several yards in 4 different designs planning to make jumpers for my Grand-daughters (ugh!  I spent $60 on fabric - does sewing really save money?).  The jumpers never did materialize (no pun intended).  So, this year, I decided to make Mother-Daughter aprons for my two older daughters and their girls.  I decided this on September 24th, after going to the annual Quilt-a-Fair.  That weekend, I made a cute apron for my youngest daughter who has a cooking blog, A Delicious Melody.  I intended to make the other 7 aprons before Christmas.  That hasn't happened.  I did, however, just finish 4 skirts for 4 of my 5 grand-daughters (my oldest grand-daughter is really picky and I know she won't wear anything I make for her).  The skirts are made out of some of the corduroy I bought last year.  I will post pictures after Christmas when my models are wearing them.

So, now, on to making 5 kiddo aprons, 2 mommie aprons...oh, and then 2 "chef" aprons for the boys...

I think I'll check Facebook...maybe I'll play Bejeweled Blitz...

Afterall, tomorrow is another day...

Easy DIY Reusable Produce Bags

I just found the cutest and easiest tutorial to make your own reusable grocery bags from an old T-Shirt.  The complete tutorial can be found  here.



Mary Engelbreit Apron

My youngest daughter has a cooking blog called A Delicious Melody .  Last week I decided to make an apron for her.  I looked through my patterns and my stash of fabric and found some cute Mary Engelbreit fabric and made this little apron for her.

She now lives in North Carolina with her husband, so I sent her a little care package with some poppy seeds I found in bulk.  Here she is modeling the apron...
