Some sewing projects
Now that Christmas is over and there is no danger of letting the cat out of the bag I can show off a few of the things that I made for Christmas gifts.
This jacket was for Mary-Kate. I found the music print fleece in the remnant bin and knew that she would love it. She is also cold all the time so a jacket was the perfect thing to make with it. The rest of the remnant I am making into a bag to carry her organ music in when she goes back and forth to church.
This cape was for Kim. She is also always cold. The butterfly embroidery I did with my embroidery machine and the ric rac I put on to add a bit of color.
This cape I did for Melissa.
This is the rose embroidery detail that I put on Melissa’s cape.

Oh my word these are so lovely~ I bet they feel so comfy. I cannot wait to get my craft/sewing area set up again. It’s been 8 months since the tornado~ I miss it!! Now that I am getting the house mostly settled and restocked~ I can start setting up my work area. I picked up a vintage machine (no cord) and I am going to take it in to see if they can replace it. I love the heaviness of an older machine.
Thanks for inspiring me to get things set up again!
@WildWomanOfTheWest - We all need some inspiration sometimes. I need more than others at times. Please post pics of your projects so that the rest of us can admire them.
