Drawstring Shoe Bag

Quick project...not sure it will work as intended but here's hoping! I got some shoes for my water aerobics class at the Y. I've lined this drawstring bag with a simple shower curtain liner hoping that it will be enough to keep my gym bag dry enough.

Glass Bead Jar

I love these colors of glass beads! At first I just did the beads but since I blew it and started at the bottom, the top edge was pretty bare and it was bugging me. SO, I added some glitter to fill in the spaces and now it looks a little like mosaic tiles. It's not as clean as I'd like it to be but it was getting messy. Let's just say, it looks better from afar. :o)

Purse Accessories

Some stuff that every girl needs in her purse (or maybe it's just me).

Business Card Holder


 
Glasses Case
 
 
 
Store Cards/Rewards Cards Holder




New Wallet - Part 2

OK, the pink one seemed like a good idea but was impractical. Made some adjustments.... sorry pictures are awful...it's late and i can't get good coloring. The outside is actually the purple that is inside the coin slot.




Another Messenger Bag

Same old purse - new fabrics! I got the tutorial from OCD's Messenger Bag Tutorial.

Seat Cushion

For the last 3 years I've been sitting on this same chair, which is fine, except that I've been sitting on an old couch pillow. SO, being in the sewing mood, I made a new cushion for my seat!

Wallet

I keep trying to make a wallet that I love as much as my purse...let's see how this goes.



Coffee Rug

Just in the mood to make something quick...(and as hubby so nicely pointed out, not so square)

Baby Owl

This is Owl Plushie part 2 made for Grandbaby Girl, now she'll have one like her Auntie.

Sewing Desk Containers

I had been using just a small pencil holder for supplies on my desk but found that half of the things would stay on the desk because they didn't fit in the pencil holder. I saw fabric covered containers on Pinterest and I HAVE empty containers so I used fabric that coordinated with my sewing machine cover. Pretty simple. It only took fabric, watered down ModPodge, some string that I HAD to have but never got around to using for anything, and a paint brush to put on the ModPodge. Let it sit overnight and it's ready to use!




Fishy Purses

So I stumbled upon this tutorial from www.makeit-loveit.com and immediately thought of my favorite little nieces! Besides the time, they are pretty easy with a good tutorial!
