Sew & Tell - Jessica's Posie Bag

Sew & Tell - Jessica\'s Posie Bag_f0194450_13395593.jpg"Did you just open?" I get this reaction a lot even from folks who know this area well. I know I am off Irving, but am I that invisible? Anyway, an Inner Sunset resident, Jessica was one of them, and Peapod was a happy find for her. She came back with this cute floral bag for which she used one of my favorite prints called Posie. She totally looks crafty, doesn't she? The kind of person who is constantly making things, but the thing is that she doesn't own a sewing machine yet. She drove more than 3 hours to get to her parents' house to make this bag using her mom's machine. Yes, she loves sewing AND her mom and dad of course :-) Right Jessica? Well, she HAS TO because she is getting a new sewing machine for Christmas from them :-)
Keep sewing and thank you, Jessica!

Sew & Tell - Carla's Dresses & Purses

Carla sent me these photos of her projects. Two pairs of dresses and purses. These are one of my favorite styles of dresses for little girls. Simple to make, yet very versatile. I don't know what pattern she used for it, but it is a very common style. Here is one that I found for you ladies who always wanted to try, but never pushed yourself to do it :-) Just try it. This style is perfect for beginners, and as you improve your skills, you could tweak a pattern a bit like Carla did. She used two different prints and added the trims on the bottom of the dress and the sleeves, and they make a big difference. Rather simple looking dresses become more elaborated detailed ones. Two very happy two years olds are already enjoying these cute gifts from Aunty Carla. I'm sure their moms are as happy as the girls. Thank you, Carla!

I Quilt and So Does Mary

I Quilt and So Does Mary_f0194450_6274019.jpgI knit, I sew, and I quilt. This is a cross quilt I finished a while ago. Remember I was working on all solid color quilt? I was going to layout the pieces randomly as I usually do, but after seeing this amazing quilt, I just had to copy it. I used eight or nine shades of blue, brown, green, and white (I'm sorry that I didn't throw some orange in), and I cut the squares in eight and half inches. I just love it and can't wait to wash it. I never knew that a quilt feels even better after washing it until one day Mary brought her doll quilt which had been washed. It felt soooo good. She is the one who told me about Imagiknit, and you could tell she is a knitter, but knitting is just one of the million things that she does. You could explore more of her creations here. Check the photo in which her little boy pointing at an owl in the stripy blue quilt she made. My favorite!
