Project Time!

It seems like whenever I see a project that I want to make I start to make it and then don't ever finish it before I start another project. So usually I have several unfinished projects just waiting to be done. Well, for some reason I was really motivated this week. I got several things done.

First was my new ruffled hand-bag/purse or whatever you want to call it.


Then I made the girls some scripture bags. Actually this is what I set out to do first because they've been begging for some, but I got sidetracked when I saw a ruffled purse that I liked. I used a tutorial where the bag is made from a place mat, so first I made the "place mats" then made the bags.






Then, while I still had the sewing machine out, I used some beach towels Aunt B gave the girls and made the girls some towel dresses with matching bags. They've wanted some since they saw their friends with some. Not like these, but made from a towel. I figured since P has swim practice every day, and they're both outside playing in water all the time, it'd be worth it. In fact, I'll probably make some more. They were so easy.

This is a picture of a necklace I made a couple weeks ago. I wanted to put it on here, anyway. I LOVE it! I saw one online and since I already had everything to make it, I did.


Well, that's it. I guess it doesn't seem like much now that I've posted the pics, but for me it was. I guess I also did alot of mending and fixing clothes so it seems like more. I just got a new sewing machine at a yard sale this weekend and I need to try it out, so you might see some more pics of projects pretty soon.
