Melaina's Bible Cover

Chair pockets

A preschool teacher friend of mine ordered 12 chair pockets to fit her classroom chairs. She plans to have the kids keep their daily folders and pencil boxes in them, to free up space on the table. I already have another order from a different teacher for 14 more!

Tina's Baby Gift

The necktie onesie was particularly popular at the shower. I will definitely be making more of those.

Owl Applique Wallhanging

I love these owls!

A tiny muumuu?

I thought this was cute material... until I made it into this dress. Eeek.

Dust Ruffle Dress

This dress was made entirely from a toddler bed dust ruffle! (I added the embroidered ice cream cone.)

I made this as an end-of-year gift for the director of our preschool.

Before and after. Ms. Curvy also has a black cover, but really, once you've seen one mannequin cover, you've seen them all!

Downy Quilts for Kids/Touch of Comfort Quilt

Downy (yes, the fabric softener company) has partnered with Quilts for Kids and created this awesome program that anyone who loves to sew can participate in. All you do is request a free quilt kit, make the quilt in your own home using the provided pre-cut fabrics and instructions (and your own batting and thread), then mail it back to them. The quilts go to children staying in Children's Miracle Network Hospitals around the country. How great is that?!

This racecar quilt is my first one, and I'm working on a second one from my fabric stash to donate as well. I just need to quilt and bind it, and they'll be off to comfort some sick kids!

Baby Boy Door Hanger

Sewing Room 10 Commandments

Beanie Babies Tote

Melaina is infatuated with Beanies and is always lugging at least two or three around with her everywhere we go. It occurred to me yesterday that she needed a better way to carry her beanie friends, so this is what I came up with. I made the circles with my embroidery machine, cut out the centers, then whipped up the rest of the bag in no time!

Canning Jar Quilt

Grasshopper Puppet

My niece is doing a puppet show for LTC (Leadership Training for Christ), and they were in need of a grasshopper puppet for their show. Unable to find one, Michelle asked me for help. She gave me a store-bought ant puppet on which to base the new puppet. I threw together some felt, pompoms, and stuffing, and this is what I came up with.
