New items

It's been a pleasure to have my own working sewing machine again!
I love to sew and have been working on so many new projects.
My Go Baby Diaper Wallet is both a cute purse accessory that neatly keeps diapers and is a diaper changing pad.














My Diaper Case- in the old eyeglass case style with a single snap at the top.
















And even some just for me...my new Kindle case.









I failed to mention earlier I also bought a snap button pliers--hence all the new snap button items. Velcro, Zipper and snap buttons on my pieces.

New Sewing Machine

As I have complained over and over again about my machine and its lack of function I have been disenchanted with sewing. A good friend lent me her very wonderful machine. It was fantastic but also fantasy. It was not mine nor was it my level, and without instructions I was never going to be able to use it to its full potential.
With luck, positive instead of my usual bad, my son's school was hosting a benefit auction and on its list was a sewing machine. Probably not the usual high attention auction item, I was enchanted. I ended up getting a machine that matched my level, my needs and my price point. A nice bonus being that the money went to my son's school.
This week I have been able to play with my machine, crank out new items and come up with more. I love my that this sewing machine does what it is supposed to, that it is quietish, and that I don't need to fight with it or trick it to do its regular functions. I am hoping this third machine is a charm. And it is all mine!

Zippered Pouch

New diaper organizer made from laminated cotton. Leaving the velcro behind this time and used a zipper. The laminated surface allows for spills to be easily wiped away. Got to love it!

Sunbrella

Quite the time of year to be chatting about Sunbrella (weather coated fabric) but I am doing it. Of the past few years I have gotten hold of my fair share of scrap sunbrella fabric. This happens to be the best selling items I sew- no matter what they are people love the fabric! Although, it by itself is not an eco friendly material I am going in search of beautiful sunbrella to use it as a canvas like material for some of my designs. It will wash and reuse for many wears-making it okay to sell in my shop. Now to take the actual product!
