Forgot to post :)

I made my very first purse today...yay!!!! I am so proud of myself. Its not perfect at all but I still love the colors I used and the fabric is all from items I got in a $1 grab bag from the thrift store the bags are the size of 33 gallon trash bags I was super excited to see what kinda of stuff was in there. It had like 6 twin sheets (I dont have any twin beds in the house lol) tons of pillow cases and super sexy leather pants lol, and tons of socks (planning to use them for legg warmers for the kids this winter. Anyhoo back to the purse I made lol, I used a sheet, pillow case, tulle, and fake pearls (which I have grown to love). Drumroll please........

 So I love how it turned out, I didnt use any patterns or tutorials. I pretty much guessed the whole thing lol.I love the way the flowers look on this. I am posting this in a Lemon Squeeze Home contest.

 Go on over and check out the beautiful purses the other ladies entered :)



New stuff

So Ive been so busy with life I kinda forgot I made this blog.
Well first I got a new sewing machine!!!!Woot Woot!!!!



Its not brand new but it works and I was super excited, I got it for $5 at the local thrift store here!!!! Came with everything needed and works like it's brand new.

Here are the projects Ive made since I got the sewing machine (none of which are perfect lol)


 This was a regular t-shirt, made it one shoulder then put the animal print silk ruffles. I didnt used to like animal prints but for some odd reason I have this new found obbesession with them lol!!

A bracelet made fo a of a bed skirt ( I think its like a fake suede) and bra clasp and fake pearl beads. Was bored and I really like big jewelry but I don't like the metal hurts my wrists, so I decided to make a fabric one.

I made a few skirts for my daughter, made a couple more bracelets, and my new found obsession is fabric flowers but my phones cameras not working. Will post more when I get a new better camera lol.
